1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta ‘SEFAC Hot Rod’

Although Ferrari was way ahead of the 1960 pace and faster than anything Aston Martin or Jaguar could produce, they still upgraded the SWB for specific clients and the factory team. Since Ferrari was known as SEFAC in 1961, these cars naturally took on the team’s name. While specification varied slightly from car to car, most SEFAC Hot Rods featured the lighter Tipo 539/61 chassis and more powerful Testa Rossa-spec engine.

Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso (1963)

There’s something deeply poetic about the sight of cars with a lot of history / pedigree in a museum, all sparkling clean and standing in the very same position for years in a row.

This Lusso was one of the few intended for actual racing, not road cruising, and yet, there it is, in its own form of casket.
