1950s Ferrari-powered world record hydroplane heading to auction in Monaco

1950s Ferrari-powered world record hydroplane heading to auction in Monaco

There are any of a number of places you'd expect to find a Ferrari: at the race track, on the auction block, in the showroom, parked in front of the swankiest restaurants in town. To see one in the water usually spells trouble, but history is not without its exceptions. Back in the 1980s, Italian boatbuilder Riva collaborated with Ferrari for a rather Testarossa-inspired speedboat, but long before that, the House that Enzo Built lent its expertise and 4.5-liter V12 engine to Achille Castoldi to build the hydroplane power boat you see here.
