R.I.P. Sergio Scaglietti, Ferrari 250 GTO designer

 

[W3H5]

So, the man who designed some of Ferrari's greatest body work has passed away.

Thanks to this man we had the styles of the 250 GTO, possibly one of the most beautiful cars ever, and the 250 Testa Rossa, a motor of legend.

For more on more on his life and work, see here or here.

Goodbye. The world has lost a great artist and master craftsman. You may be gone but your art will live on.

I'm particularly peeved by this as automotive design is something I've studied and take a great interest in.

There are many other great coach builders but they become less and less each year.

This saddens me. Automotive styling (a form of sculpture, in my opinion) has become less beautiful and more aggressive. Those cars that are original are very controversial or just plain ugly.

Very sad news.

RIP Scaglietti. I hope automobile designers take an inspiration from what you gave us.
