The story of Carrozzeria Pavesi
The beginning In the first post-war period, Ernesto Pavesi (1901-1974), a young carpenter specialized in bodywork, opened a small business: a craft workshop for…
The “Ventorosso” is a very special car designed and built in a unique speciment by Pavesi in Milan based on the mechanics of the Ferrari 412. Pavesi bought a Ferrari 412, registered in Brescia in 1989, from the Crepaldi dealer, with the intention of transforming it into a convertible. After having completely disassembled it, a new design body was adopted for the car, more modern than that of the 400 which, we recall, dates back to a Pininfarina project from the early 1970s. Thus was born the “Ventorosso” which was able to boast the Ferrari brand as the original mechanics had been fully maintained unaltered.
The Ferrari 412 Ventorosso has a wedge shape, sleek and modern. The interior is the same as the original 412 with the seat upholstery and all the black leather trim and gauces. The fully retractable top of the Ferrari 412 Ventorosso is entirely new compared to that of the previous 400 cabriolet, in fact it was built by the Pavesi coachbuilder itself. The bumpers are enveloping and in the same color as the bodywork; a thin black band runs along the entire perimeter of the lower part of the car, helping to make the volumes lighter and more harmonious. The high tail with rounded corners is made less massive by a black stairway under which four circular lights make up the complete rear lights; further down, the four exhaust pipes of the Ferrari V12 stand out.
