THE STORY A cultural icon of the 1980s, the Ferrari Testarossa was a two-door coupe that went into production in 1984 as the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer. It was designed by Pininfarina in Italy and was produced from 1984 until 1991, with two model revisions (the 512 TR and F512 M) which were produced from 1992 until 1996. Including revised variations. All versions of the Ferrari Testarossa came equipped with a rear-mounted 5-speed manual transmission and were built with a rear mid-engine design to keep the centre of gravity in the middle of the car. This was done to increase stability and improve cornering ability. The Testarossa was powered by a 4.9L (301ci) flat 12-cylinder engine that produced 385HP. Top speed was 288kph with a 0-100kmph time of 4.8 seconds extremely quick for the time. The Testarossa name pays homage to the famed 1957 World Sportscar Championship-winning 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car. Testarossa literally translates to "redhead" in Italian and refers to the cars red-painted cam covers. As well as being a poster car for a generation, the Testarossa also became a movie and TV star, featuring most notably in the 1980s TV series, Miami Vice.
