\"\"<\/a>Noted Ferrari coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti passed away November 20, 2011 at 91 years of age.
\nScaglietti gained Enzo Ferrari’s trust and respect both through his bodywork and design skills and for providing a retreat for Dino Ferrari as a youth. Scaglietti is credited with the “headrest” bump present on most racing Ferraris of the 1950s and 1960s, a design at first despised by Enzo but championed by Dino. The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, with its pontoon fenders, is one of the most famous Scaglietti designs.
\nFerrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo commented, \u201cToday is a sad day for Ferrari. We lost a friend, a travel companion, a man who had his name forever connected to the Prancing Horse. Sergio Scaglietti leaves behind the legacy of an artist who with his talent created some of the most beautiful cars of our history. Who had the luck to know him like I did will also remember him as a straightforward and honest man, completely dedicated to his work. We will miss him.\u201d
\nIn the mid-1950s, Scaglietti became the Carrozzeria of choice for Ferrari’s racing efforts. Many sports racing prototypes were designed and manufactured at their facility. All those exclusively designed by Scaglietti carried the Scaglietti & C. badge while cars built to outside designs did not. Sergio Scaglietti was a real and natural talent who made cars with his hands and with his eyes, as he liked to say.
\nSoon the Carrozzeria Scaglietti started to collaborate with the Scuderia Ferrari and a great friendship was born between Enzo and Sergio.
\n\u201cHe was one of my father\u2019s best friends,\u201d said Piero Ferrari. \u201cHe was next to me with Marco Piccinini also the day my father died and stayed with me the whole night until the funeral. I loved him and he was a very important part of my life. My life will be emptier without Sergio.\u201d
\nThe Carrozzeria Scaglietti has been an integral part of Ferrari for many years. To underline his unique relationship with the coachbuilder from Modena, Chairman Montezemolo dedicated him the 612, the 2+2 seater Berlinetta. In addition, a special version of the 456, the 456M GT Scaglietti, bears his name.
\nOriginal Scaglietti designs include:<\/strong>
\n1958 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
\n1955 Ferrari 410 Sport
\n1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II
\n1954 Ferrari 250 Monza
\n1956 Ferrari 290 MM
\n1956 Ferrari 860 Monza
\n1954 Ferrari 375 MM Coupe
\n1958 Chevrolet Corvette Scaglietti Coupe
\nBodies executed to a third-party design:<\/strong>
\n1957 Ferrari 250 California Spider
\n1962 Ferrari 250 GTO
\n1955 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France
