Ferrari's show-stopping appearance at this month's Goodwood Festival of Speed includes a display featuring an “iconic car” from each of the company's six decades, as well as the appearance of a 612 Scaglietti HGTS in one-off police livery.
Ferrari has been partying heavily in 2007 as it marks its 60th anniversary. The Goodwood event promises to be an emotional retrospective of the evolution of the Prancing Horse “from its debut in motor racing to today's state-of-the-art GT cars,” the company said in a statement.

The 1950s will be represented by the 250 Testa Rossa, celebrated for winning the 12 Hours of Sebring, the 1,000-km in Buenos Aires and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1958. The 250 GTO will represent Ferrari in the 1960s, while the Daytona is the seminal car of the 1970s. The F40, created to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary in 1987, marks the 1980s and the F50 celebrates the '90s. “The last decade of the 21st century is represented by the Enzo,” Ferrari noted, saying the car “set a new benchmark for the development of engineering solutions and demonstrated the synergies between F1 and GT cars.”

The cop-shop version of the 612 Scaglietti HGTS led the U.K. leg of the Ferrari worldwide relay tour earlier this year. It will be driven by a member of the Sussex Police Force and will be the center of the company's historical display. Attendees can also get a look at the Ferrari relay baton, along with a gallery of the 60 images that are enameled on it.
