Le Mans-winning Ferrari and rare French car win Amelia Island
The reasons for why the Voisin is interesting are obvious just by looking at it. The C-25 line was launched in 1934, and the Aerodyne was one of three variants. Like other Voisins, the Aerodyne featured bold art deco design inside and out. It also had a huge power retractable hardtop that would slide back along the semi-circle roofline. Though Voisin reportedly built more than 10,000 cars through the 1920s and 1930s, fewer than 150 remain, and just 4 of the six C-25 Aerodynes built remain.
That may seem a bit odd to say about a mid-century Ferrari, but this one was not campaigned by the factory. Rather, this one was raced by the North American Race Team , a privateer group started by Luigi Chinetti. And the team managed to winoverall in 1965, beating out GT40s just before their dominant reign at Le Mans. But that wasn't the only time it competed in top-tier endurance races.
