I saw this on Hooniverse of all places. Yes, I've seen a Ferrari Scaglietti-designed 250 Testa Rossa, but never with an all-weather roof and fastback in place. Pretty cool, so I thought I'd share.

Almost gorgeous, but looks a little... squashed. I definitely see what inspired the styling of the Tornado Typhoon that Tim bought this fall. I even (dare I say it?) like the Typhoon's approach to weatherproofing a bit better:

This isn't ours, but it's the same thing. Only, you know, with wheels and stuff on it instead of in boxes. (Details.)

Can't say I see the same beauty in those two cars, but at least now I don't feel so bad thinking that my CRX kind of resembles a Porsche 911...

I like it... although it may be hard to squeeze into!

It started off as a wrecked 250 GTE, and uses a lot of genuine 250 Testa Rossa parts. The hardtop was made because it is a daily driver, and he was tired of getting rained on.

Is it wrong of me to not like it?

In reply to Storz:

It made me think of more squished vintage Italian awesomeness:

I like that squished low look. Also, who needs a headrest when you can just add padding to the fuel filler tube?
