One-of-three scaled replica of a 1950s Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa entirely electric and drivable
In an exciting development, Hedley Studios has unveiled a limited-edition replica of the iconic Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, named Lucybelle II. This remarkable recreation was driven by Ed Hugus and Ray "Ernie" Erickson during the 1958 24 Hours of Le Mans race, where it finished a commendable seventh.
The replica of Lucybelle II faithfully captures the car's appearance as it crossed the finish line of the 1958 race. It is finished in Bianco Cervino with contrasting blue stripes, while the interior is decked out in red leather from the same tanneries used by Ferrari.
The replica is equipped with modern technology, boasting an electric motor, three front-mounted batteries, and a Ferrari 812-inspired Manettino offering four drive modes. Despite its modern upgrades, the replica can only travel approximately 56 miles before needing a recharge.
The founder and CEO of Hedley Studios is not mentioned in the available search results. However, Rachel Cormack, a digital editor at the website, penned the article about this remarkable replica. Rachel, who moved to New York from Australia, has previously written for HuffPost, Concrete Playground, and other online publications.
The Lucybelle II replica will be limited to only three examples. For more information or to configure your own replica, visit the Testa Rossa J site. It's important to note that this article does not discuss related stories about manual transmissions in Porsche 911s, the coveted original Volkswagen Microbus, or a new cognac-finished bourbon.
In addition to the 100-hour weathering process the car underwent to achieve a post-race patina, the Hedley team paid meticulous attention to detail to ensure the replica was as authentic as possible. This limited-edition replica is a testament to the enduring appeal of the original Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and the craftsmanship of Hedley Studios.
