Built around a multi-tubular space-frame chassis and powered by the Colombo V12, the TR61 wore revised Fantuzzi spider bodywork with lower, sleeker pontoon fenders that distinguished it from earlier Testa Rossa generations. Running in Rosso Corsa for the SEFAC (Società Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili e Corse) works team, it was the car that headed a Ferrari 1-2-3-4 finish on the Circuit de la Sarthe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"tr61-real-car\"\u003eThe Ferrari 250 TR61: Final Chapter of a Front-Engined Legend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 250 TR61 represented the last significant development of the Testa Rossa programme before Ferrari's transition to mid-engined prototypes. It carried the revised Fantuzzi spider body, lowered at the front to reduce aerodynamic drag, while retaining the proven Colombo V12 and four-speed gearbox. It was developed specifically for the 1961 season to counter renewed pressure from Aston Martin and Maserati, and it delivered on that brief comprehensively. After 1961, Ferrari would move toward mid-engined layouts, making the TR61 the last front-engined Testa Rossa to win Le Mans outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"le-mans-1961\"\u003eGendebien, Hill and the 1961 Le Mans Victory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlivier Gendebien and Phil Hill shared car #10 for SEFAC Ferrari at the 1961 24 Hours of Le Mans and won outright, leading a Ferrari sweep of the top four positions. The timing of this win was exceptional: Hill was simultaneously campaigning for the 1961 Formula 1 World Championship, which he also secured that year. No driver since has matched Hill's achievement of winning both the Formula 1 World Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the same calendar year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"tecnomodel-1-18-scale-model\"\u003eTecnomodel's 1:18 Scale Model in Resin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale model is produced by Tecnomodel.
