Ferrari has teamed up with The little automobile company to produce a 75-per-cent-scale, all-electric replica of the iconic 1957 250 Testa Rossa racer, designed for children aged 14 and up.
Production will be limited to just 299 examples, each of which will cost €93,000 excluding taxes. That works out at around £79,000, which with VAT added on comes in at just under £95,000. To put that figure into perspective, it’s around the same amount you’d spend on a good, low-mileage (and full-scale) Ferrari F430.

The little automobile company was also the engineering brain behind the £27,000 Bugatti baby II, which is another 75-per-cent scale, electric children’s ride-on replica of the type 35 racer.

This Ferrari replica was built in much the same manner, starting with digital replications of the car’s original design drawings. once it had a template to work towards, The little automobile company then set loose a team of panel-beaters to hammer the car’s bodywork out of aluminium.
Ferrari says the Testa Rossa J retains the same steering and suspension geometry as the original 250, which it claims offers “authentic handling.” The components holding the bodywork up were all sourced from proper OEMs, too.
The coilover suspension was sourced from Bilstein, the disc brakes came from Brembo, and the tyres were supplied by Pirelli. The toy’s handling was also fine-tuned by Ferrari test-drivers at the company’s own Fiorano test track in Maranello.

The interior was pieced together in a similarly meticulous fashion. The single bench seat (which can accomodate an adult and a teenager) features the same piping as the original Testa Rossa, and is trimmed using the same leather found in Ferrari’s current cars.
