The biggest car company you’ve never heard of pays tribute to an iconic 1960s Ferrari. RML Short Wheelbase driven:
Scaglietti’s delicious curves have been recreated in carbonfibre and the body bulges in all the right places. The stacked tail-lights just inches above the exhausts are unmistakable, as are the crisp wheel arches. Maybe the wire-mimicking 18in wheels are a bit unconvincing, but if the restomod scene has taught us anything, it’s that classically styled bodies and modern, low-profile tyres have difficult marriages.
Inside, it’s soft leather, Alcantara and aluminium, all nicely done. It has cupholders, too, and lots of head room , plus air conditioning. All this because the SWB is intended for proper touring. However, the production-spec jewels towards which your gaze is inexorably drawn are the drilled aluminium pedals , open-gate gearlever and exquisite filigree steering wheel that wraps aluminium in leather. It’s this trio, along with the romantic pillbox view forward, that set the tone.On the Hill Route, the SWB ticks some big boxes instantly. The 479bhp 5.5-litre V12 is more gruff and vocal than it ever was in the 550, and that’s welcome.
The SWB otherwise steers lightly and precisely, but not too precisely, which helps it retain a classic feel. I suppose the hydraulic 550 rack is in many ways closer to that of the 250 GT SWB in character than it is to, say, the frenetic set-up of today’s. You guide this car with fingertips. An ill-timed sneeze won’t careen you into the undergrowth.
