UK-based Hedley Studios has introduced a distinctive new creation that brings one of Ferrari’s most iconic designs into the world of collectible design objects. The Ferrari Testa Rossa J Sculpture is a 75% scale aluminium wall sculpture, developed as a tribute to the Testa Rossa J — the electrified, drivable replica of the original 250 Testa Rossa. Designed as a limited-edition piece for collectors, this sculpture blends engineering precision with visual impact, offering a bold take on Ferrari’s racing legacy.
The sculpture measures 3.1m in length, 1.1m in height, and 0.7m in depth. Each piece is handcrafted using traditional panel-beating techniques, with more than 300 hours of work required to shape and polish the aluminium bodywork. A two-week hand-machining process gives the sculpture its clean, metallic finish.
Hedley Studios has officially partnered with Ferrari for this release, and the sculpture includes accurate details such as the Prancing Horse badge, front and rear light lenses, and bonnet straps. These elements serve as clear references to the Testa Rossa’s original form and heritage.
Only 19 sculptures will be produced globally, a number that directly references the limited production run of the ‘Pontoon Fender’ Ferrari 250 Testa Rossas built by Italian coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti. Known for his instinctive design approach and mastery of hand-forming techniques, Scaglietti created some of Ferrari’s most iconic competition cars without relying on technical drawings — a legacy that has influenced the development process at Hedley Studios.
Ben Hedley, Founder and CEO of Hedley Studios, said, “The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is a car steeped in history and magic, and with our stunning wall sculpture, we’ve aimed to capture the spirit of the original icon’s creation. The legends of Maranello that masterminded and crafted the 250 Testa Rossa were meticulous and delicate in their technique, and our team of engineers have emulated this focus and dedication in their hours spent crafting our wonderful Testa Rossa J sculpture.”
Spearheading the creation of detailed automotive art at Hedley Studios, Mr. Hedley further added, “Each example of the 19 sculptures that we will produce will be made to order at our Bicester Heritage HQ, in the UK. For any car enthusiast, our Ferrari Testa Rossa J Sculpture is a true celebration of intricate and alluring design. A statement piece that simultaneously captures attention and celebrates heritage and automotive greatness, like that of Scaglietti, the sculpture has already been met with resounding enthusiasm from a selection of VIPs that were lucky enough to get a sneak peek.”
The Ferrari Testa Rossa J Sculpture is priced at €79,000, excluding taxes and shipping. Customisation options are available on request, allowing buyers to tailor each piece to their preferences. While it functions purely as a design object, the sculpture has been developed with the same level of detail and dedication as a full-scale car. For those interested in automotive history, design precision, and limited-production collectibles, this release reflects a commitment to traditional techniques and a specific era of motorsport design. Certainly warrants a look!
