Behind the scene

If you are looking for a stunning piece of art that showcases the beauty and power of one of the most iconic cars in history, you might want to check out this photograph by Manuel Busetto. It is a creative and captivating image of the Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France, a legendary model that dominated the racing scene in the late 1950s.

The photograph was taken using the technique of artistic blur, which involves moving the camera or the subject during a long exposure. This creates a sense of motion and speed, as well as a contrast between the sharp and blurred elements. The result is a dynamic and expressive image that conveys the audacity and velocity of the Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France.

The Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France was a special version of the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta, designed for endurance racing. It was named after the Tour de France Automobile, a prestigious event that combined road and circuit stages. The Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France won the race four times in a row, from 1956 to 1959, thanks to its powerful V12 engine, lightweight body, and agile handling.

The car also had a distinctive style, with a long and curvaceous bonnet, an egg-crate grille, and 14 louvres on the rear sail panel. The car in the photograph is the actual winner of the 1957 Tour de France, driven by the Belgian duo of Olivier Gendebien and Lucien Bianchi. It is one of the most important and valuable Ferraris ever made, and it is currently owned by a private collector.

This photograph is more than just a picture of a car. It is a tribute to the history and legacy of the Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France, a masterpiece of engineering and design that revolutionized the world of motorsport. It is also a testament to the artistic vision and skill of the photographer, who managed to capture the essence of speed and movement in a single frame.

Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of art that celebrates one of the most remarkable cars of all time.
