Video: smashing lap records in a 16bhp, 50mph electric Ferrari replica racer

This is a Scaglietti-bodied Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa – perhaps one of the most beautiful V12-engined racing cars of all time. Only this one’s smaller. Much smaller. And electric. 

It’s the work of Oxfordshire’s The Little Car Company, but with a full stamp of approval from Ferrari itself – and it’s every bit as giggle-inducing as the original. So to find out just how much a mini-Ferrari with a top speed of 50mph can make you smile, we sent Ollie Kew to Ferrari’s Fiorano test track to find out… and maybe come back with a lap record.
