A Detailed Look Inside The Sexy Ferrari Lewis Hamilton Took for a Spin

Notice the cameo from Oscar nominee Edward Norton? This mashup scene was the most clever announcement.

Three replicas of this rare beauty were used in the filming of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” The scene where Bueller flies out of his home’s garage unfortunately costed the producers a replica.

The other replicas were stashed by private owners, per Motor Authority. Hamilton tells the outlet he managed to get his hands on one for the scene remake.

“This is to pay homage to the iconic film and to celebrate my first season with Ferrari,” Hamilton said via Motor Authority. “Had to get the exact car too—it’s been a dream car since seeing the movie.”

According to Top Speed, the car’s bodywork was designed by Pinin Farina and sculpted by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, both Italian automotive design companies.

However, the idea was pitched was that a top-down version of 250 GT Berlinetta would appeal to North American customers, per Top Speed.

As a result, Enzo Ferrari only commissioned 106 examples to be featured on the 250 GT ‘Tour de France’ to go hand-in-hand with the company’s sports car program, per Top Speed.

This bad boy can go up to 156 mph, Top Speed reports, but ranges up to 252 mph. The car also possesses a four-speed manual transmission.

Though the car wasn’t designed for F1 racing, it did manage to snatch the winning prize at the Grand Touring class at the 1959 12 Hours of Sebring with Ginther and Hively, per Motor Legend. Then, it was featured in the 2007 line up for the Reims-Gueux circuit.
