Charles Leclerc ties the knot & drives off in a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testarossa
Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc recently got married to his fiancée, Alexandra Saint-Mleux. The ceremony was held in Monaco, just days ahead of the F1 season opener in Australia. What caught our attention was the wedding getaway car, a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testarossa.
There’s no denying the fact that Charles has a good taste in cars, and it had to be something extraordinary for such a special occasion. The couple were seen driving away in the $12 million classic Ferrari.
The 250 Testarossa is one of the greatest and rarest cars ever made. Only 33 examples were produced. The 250 TR won the famous Mille Miglia and Targa Florio. It also has four 24 Hours of Le Mans victories to its name.
The gorgeous speedster was built by Italian coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti. Under the long sculpted hood is a 3.0-liter V12 engine, featuring six twin-choke carburettors. It is said to produce around 300 hp. It uses a 4-speed transmission, which drives the rear axle, allowing the car to reach a top speed of 167 mph.
