Ferrari Service and Repair Bay Area - This Bizarre Ferrari Was Designed To Smash A 269 MPH Nazi Speed Record - Zucchi Motorsports Sonoma - 707-334-3700
In 1938, Rudolph Caracciola drove a 5.6 liter, 753 horsepower Mercedes streamliner to 268.8 mph (432.7 km/h) on a public road, no less. Back in 1991, this bizarre Ferrari set out to beat that run.P
The car is the one-off Testa D'Oro. It is a partnership between the thoroughly unhinged German tuning company Lotec (the guys who madethis) and even more unhinged German designer Luigi Colani (the guy who madethis). AsConceptCarznotes, Lotec twin-turbocharged the engine with 1.25 bar (18 psi) of boost, raising the five liter engine's horsepower from 390 stock to 750. Torque grew to 900 nm (664lb-ft). They also gave the engine its gold engine work, or head, for which it is named. According to Colani inthis video interview, the car remains street legal in Germany.P
