In the upcoming Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este is exposed and then a very unique auction Cavallino. It is the Ferrari 500 TRC Spider, which was the first to bear the surname Testa Rossa, by valve cover red color. Was based on the Ferrari Monza. All the Ferrari Testa Rossa associate of the 50's with the bright 3.0-liter V12 engine and 300 horsepower, but only 19 units of the Ferrari 500 made in 1957 had even a four-cylinder engine line. was the last Ferrari to mount a four-cylinder if I remember correctly, but what engine. Designed by the legendary Aurelio Lampredi for Formula 2, but after his prototype was adapted to competition as the Type-C Testa Rossa Spider. Interestingly, it is a production car low that the Ferrari 250 TR and the 250 GTO, which often reach astronomical figures at auction. But having only four-cylinder was not a real Ferrari, the machine that beat under the bonnet was a work of art.
Engine Type 131-C was very advanced for its time, had two Weber carburetors 40 DCO/A3, double overhead camshaft and with only 1,985 cubic centimeters generating 190 horsepower at a high speed rate, exceeding 8,000 rpm. The car had independent front suspension, solid rear axle and drum brakes with hydraulic assistance. All this technology made it a tremendously effective in comparison car with machines in its class.
Ferrari is one of the most beautiful competition ever created and provided. The 0670 chassis unit MDTR was commissioned by a client Sicily, which then competed in various parts of the world with his machine. The car participated several times in the Targa Florio and won the race for promotion to Monte Pellegrino in Palermo on several consecutive occasions. In the late 90's and after many events tours historic vehicle was restored in the hands of the owner who now auction.
This gem with wheels is estimated to be worth selling between 2.6 and 3.3 million euros, far from negligible.
