Fantastic video. I understand why they changed the bodywork but I really loved the pontoon and later Drogo bodyshells, something a bit different.

The 1957 and 1958 250 Testa Rossas, both pontoon and envelope body designs, were designed and built by Scaglietti and the Ferrari engineer who oversaw the initial 250 Testa Rossa project was Andrea Fraschetti, who was unfortunately killed testing a Formula car in 1957. The 1959 Testa Rossa bodies were revised/designed by Pinin Farina and built by Fantuzzi. These later Testa Rossa bodies were developed by Ferrari engineers such as Carlo Chiti and Giotto Bizzarrini and built by Fantuzzi.
