Peter Giacobbi is the co-creator of a one-off 1970 prototype called Sinthesis 2000. He was also DeLorean’s director of engineering and most recently he’s built a fascinating Ferrari 250 Testarossa recreation.
And make no mistake – this is a through recreation, as he copied the chassis design and it even has an authentic 50 year-old body that never got to sit on a chassis until now. He tried to keep as many of the components stock-looking as possible.
He even went to great lengths to camouflage the larger 4.4-liter V12 engine that he installed in it; the original 250 had a smaller 3.0-liter V12.
Now this is truly a stunning one-of-a-kind car that will end up being worth much more than the sum of its parts. It’s partly down to the chosen vehicle, the uber-rare and expensive ’59 Testarossa, his own background in the industry, the quality of execution and the fact that it packs quite a bigger punch than the original cars.
