The one-off Ferrari F12 TRS

Inspired by the 1957 250 Testa Rossa and based on a contemporary F12berlinetta, the unique F12 TRS has been created for one lucky (and presumably fairly wealthy) Ferrari customer.

A wraparound windscreen that flows into twin headrest fairings provides the requisite visual drama, while the roofless cabin gets a stripped-back look. Indeed, with an audio system, central air vents, a glove box and even some minor controls all missing from the dashboard, the F12 TRS is almost totally devoid of luxuries.

Beneath a transparent bonnet panel sits an unmodified naturally-aspirated 6.3 litre V12 engine that delivers 730 bhp (545 kW / 740 PS). The quoted zero to 62 mph (100 mph) and 124 mph (200 km/h) times of 3.1 and 8.1 seconds respectively are identical to those of the regular F12berlinetta.

Although no price has been revealed, rumours suggest the F12 TRS cost around $4.2M. That’s about £2.5M or €3.1M at current exchange rates.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
