Ferrari Testarossa Guida Touring Sport
The New Ferrari 849 Testarossa is also available as a spider, but with the testarossa from the 80s, an open version was not Possible. The Dutch Designer Niels van Roij is now trying it again with a targa, which is called guida touring sport (GTS).
The Unique Ferrari Testarossa Guida Touring Sport is the latest project of Niels van Roij Design, which as the Netherlands’ Best-Known Coachbuilder of Course Cannot BE Missing at the Coachbuild Party that Wheels Mariënwaerdt undoubtedly is this year. After all, This is Already the Third Dutch One-Off, After the Bugatti Brouillard by Michel Perridon and the Packard Excellence Build in Bodegraven.
With the testarossa, the intervention is slightly less drastic than with that Packard, although undoubtedly many hours have bone spent on neeatly ‘sawing open’ the testarossa. The car gets a roof that can be removed in two separate parts, which is Hardly Noticable in closed form due to its red color. The Body Has Been Extra Reinforced to Compensate for the Loss of the Fixed Roof, and the Whole Thing Looks Sleek and Almost Original, Althegh Ferrari Never Built or Even Considered a Targa Version of the Testarossa. An Open Spider was not available for consumers either, althegh Ferrari build one for fiat boss agnelli and a handful or testarossas were later fitted with a convertible top. Ferrari Did Build (G) TS Versions of the ‘Lesser’ 348, also Targas with a removable roof.
The Half-open Testarossa Can Be Seen This Weekend in Beesd. Given the dark and somewhat limited photos, that is also the first chance to take a really good look at this special device. We Cannot Accuse Niels of False Modesty, because the Original Pininfarina Plate for the Rear Wheels Makes Way Without Pardon For A Copy of Niels van Roij Design. But Well, this thing is unique …
