Ferrari 250 GT Drogo
Dijelom na ovome portalu objavljujemo neke stvari samo radi finih slika, kako biste malo nadgradili ...
... sve ono što znate, volite i malkice pomogli u proširivanju znanja. Izgleda kao Ferrari 250 GTO, a u stvari život je počeo kao 250 TR. Originalna karoserija je 1964. godine montirana na šasiju modela 250 TR (TR je od Testa Rossa). Ispod haube je stavljen motor koji odgovara modelu 250 GT, a to je V12 od 3,0 litra koji je uparen sa mjenjačam sa četiri stepena prenosa. Tih 300 konja snage za ono vrijeme, a i danas bilo je fascinantno! Onda ga je bilo na trkama 1964 John Kennedy, Interlagos, 1965 Rio de Janeiro Grand Prix, 1967 Rio de Janeiro Campeonato Carioca Race, 1967 Circuito de Petropolis Race. Kasnije je vraćen na šasiju GT-a, kako bi šasija Testa Rossa išla na osvježenje natrag u farbiku.
Na aukciji je prodat za svega 900.000 američkih dolara, a ova niska cijena, vjerujte niska je, je radi svega napisanog gore.
The car’s original aluminum body was commissioned in 1964 and was mounted on a Ferrari 250 TR chassis – a very desirable car that skyrocketed in price, reaching millions of dollars. In fact, Piero Drogo removed the car’s original 6-carb engine to put it into…something else, rebodied it into an aluminum GTO –like Ferrari- and installed a 250 GT-spec powerplant. And in that guise, with this exact body mated with the Testa Rossa chassis, the car won multiple racing events in its day.
But it’s tumultuous history continued even in modern times, as its Testa Rossa chassis was taken away to be remade in the standard-spec it left the factory, while the Drogo aluminum body was mated to a 250 GT Chassis. These are just a few reasons why the car is being auctioned with a starting price of “only” €500,000 ($560,000) by Auctionata.
Still, the car is in perfect condition, ready to drive or race – as its description states. It also has a 3,953 cc engine developing 300 horses and it’s as rare as a Ferrari can get. So, if you have at least €1,000,000 – 1,400,000 ($1,120,000 - 1,568,000) lying around, you can probably get it, because that’s how much it’s expected to fetch.
