Our Ferrari movie helmets are more than just film props; they are carefully crafted pieces that reflect the brand’s dedication to excellence. Each helmet’s design is inspired by actual Ferrari F1 helmet designs, often seen in the hands of iconic drivers in gripping racing sequences. These replicas are created with attention to detail, ensuring that every curve and color aligns with the helmets showcased in the movie.

As a result, choosing the right Ferrari-themed car racing helmet involves a careful assessment of both the aesthetic elements and the technical specifications that align with Ferrari’s legacy in motorsports and film.
For the creation of the helmets used in the film, we undertook the task of researching which specific helmets were worn by the drivers in the 1957 Mille Miglia, and the list is an impressive selection featuring the following legends:
- Piero Taruffi
- Alfonso de Portago co-driver Edmund Nelson
- Wolfgang von Trips
- Mike Hawthorn
- Stirling Moss co-driver Denis Jenkinson
- Juan Manuel Fangio
- Olivier Gendebien
- Peter Collins
- Eugenio Castellotti
- Jean Behra
It is important to emphasize that any of these helmets can not only be acquired through us, as PACTO Helmets is the creator of each and every helmet featured in the Ferrari film, but they can also be replicated and customized to fit the buyer’s measurements.
This impressive achievement was accomplished while maintaining even the smallest original details, such as the helmet color, buckle color, leather color, visor length, and even the details the drivers used to hold their goggles, all to maintain a completely faithful consistency with the historical context of the 1957 Mille Miglia.
