Ferrari Testarossa (1987)

Description[]

The Ferrari Testarossa is a mid-engined sports car manufactured by Ferrari from 1984 to 1991. Styled by Emanuele Nicosa among others under Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the Testarossa was the successor of Ferrari's older Berlinetta Boxer models and was first shown at the 1984 Paris Auto Show; the name Testarossa literally translates to "red head", paying homage to the earlier 250 Testa Rossa and its red-colored cam covers, which the Testarossa also features. The Testarossa was powered by a 4.9L F113 flat-12 mated to a 5-speed manual; this engine produced 385 horsepower. The Testarossa's styling is noted for its side strakes, nicknamed by the press as "cheese graters" but would later become a statement of style of the 1980s. The Testarossa was discontinued in 1991, replaced by the 512 TR, essentially a Testarossa with updated styling. Today, the car is a culturally-recognized icon of the 1980s, noted for its appearances in TV series such as Miami Vice and the video game Out Run. 7,177 were produced.

This casting would be modified into the Ferrari F512M after 1998.
