Stunning 20th Century hand-crafted scale replica of the Cantieri Timossi-built, originaly made in the 1953, this 800 kg class speed record-breaking hydroplane was piloted by Achille Castoldi. Ferrari Hydroplanes were originally built for a wealthy boat privateer on Lake Como and was powered by Ferrari Tipo 375 V12 Grand Prix engine developing 385bhp. In January 1953, Castoldi drove the Hydroplane, dubbed "Arno XI", to an unofficial top speed of over 124mph. Attempting to break the speed record set by his rival Mario Verga, Castoldi installed a new engine with twin superchargers. Burning methanol, this new Ferrari engine produced close to 600bhp and in October 1953, Castoldi set a new 800kg speed record with an average flying kilometre two-way speed of over 150mph! This item makes for a fantastic conversation piece, suitable for any interior, both modern or traditional.
