Breadvan homage

-

a dutch coachbuild­er has taken a hacksaw to one of Ferrari’s most beautiful creations and built a well-executed but polarizing homage to Ferrari’s weirdest race car: the 250 gt ‘breadvan.’ the original 1961 Ferrari 250 gt breadvan was a custom race car built by coachbuild­er bizzarrini, styled to make the 250 Swb more aerodynami­c. the kammback design became known as the breadvan because of its resemblanc­e to, well, a bread van. Now Niels van roij design in the Netherland­s has taken that theme and applied it to a 1990s-era 550 maranello — one of the prettiest Ferrari vehicles of all time. the entire rear tail of the new breadvan is shaped out of aluminum, and bears no shut lines.
