The Little Car Company are experts in producing exceptional and authentic scaled cars. In partnership with the world’s most elite manufacturers, it honours the most coveted classic vehicles in automotive history which it hand-builds in the UK at its Bicester Heritage HQ.
One of the most prestigious and historic cars in both automotive and motorsport history, the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, has been innovatively reimagined by The Little Car Company, and customers can now design their own interpretation of this legend online.
The Little Car Company has launched its all-new configurator which gives customers complete creative freedom to design their very own specification. From choosing a livery to their own taste, to selecting a race number, customers can see their creation come to life thanks to an innovative 3D augmented reality feature.
I tried it and it is fun to use. The graphics are excellent and you are able to move the car to view it from different angles. The amount of configuration you can do is limited, basically picking a colour scheme and some number roundels. But it is worth a visit if you have a spare five minutes.
The Ferrari Testa Rossa J is built in partnership with the great Italian marque, and is a tribute to the iconic racer which found unprecedented levels of success throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The 250 Testa Rossa claimed 18 victories in its storied history, and secured three World Sportscar Championship titles in 1958, 1960 and 1961. Its crowning achievements came at Le Mans, winning the great 24-hour race four times in 1958, 1960, 1961 and 1962.
Honouring the great history and prestige of this iconic racer, the Testa Rossa J is propelled by an electric powertrain and is a faithful reproduction, which can now be created with almost limitless levels of personalisation. Prospective customers can use the configurator to choose between a plethora of historic, personalised or solid liveries, with an abundance of colour choices for both the interior and exterior.
A testament to the racing heritage and DNA of the Testa Rossa J, customers can even select their very own race number to adorn the front and side of their car. For those with an even racier disposition, customers can also choose the Pacco Gara upgrade, which offers a range of performance and aesthetic upgrades. Most notably, it includes a boost of power to take its total output to 14kW.
As an official Ferrari model, the Ferrari Testa Rossa J is built to meet the highest automotive standards. The Little Car Company’s team of engineers have taken great inspiration from the craftsmanship of the original, using the same hand-beaten aluminium, paint and techniques.
The Testa Rossa J incorporates many features of the original, including the same steering and suspension geometry to give it truly authentic handling. The interior also showcases sublime attention to detail with the transmission tunnel removed to make space for seating to accommodate a driver and junior passenger.
A beautifully designed Manettino switch, inspired by the Ferrari 812 Superfast, allows the driver to navigate between four driving modes:
- Novice mode: 1kW / 24km/h
- Comfort mode: 4kW / 40km/h
- Sport mode: 10kW / 80km/h
- Race mode: 12kW / 80km/h
