1991 Ferrari Testarossa - One Take 

008 008 like everything back then

I feel it's the embodiment of the 80's actually. But i love it!

You want shitty fashion? Visit the 70s. I swear, folks back then wore vomit.

Actually it is TOTALLY 80s, not timeless.

The design on the outside doesn't feel 80's, even if i look at it in 2017, the interiour however is 80's :)

Also just any episode of Miami Vice, seasons three or four.

GuinnessandPizza That is the one I mean. Morocco has parts of the Sahara.

u have shown me a great channel thank you!!

He also drove down to the south of France with a pair of fold-up bikes on the rear "shelf", dropped them off at his boat, then returned with an outboard motor in the frunk. Aside from some heater woes, it went well, reliable.

He carried a small outboard boat motor in the front of his Testarossa and a folding bicycle in that video.

It's cool asf now lmao

I had the opportunity in 1992 to put about 5-600 miles on an '89 model and it was Wonderful!!!!! I always chuckled about the folks who griped about the steering wheel position and claimed that the Italian men must have arms like orangutans. There's nothing wrong with the steering wheel... you just drive it by holding the bottom half and ignore your high school drivers ed teacher who insisted that you had to be at "10 & 2." They didn't know what they were talking about. This car was soooo much fun to drive! It's definitely a "broad-assed Ferrari" but I managed to back it into our showroom every night thanks to those electric mirrors. The '86 car at the Paris Auto Show would have been terrible with the single mirror mounted up high on the left. I still have a photograph of it sitting in my garage one night because I was certain that would be the ONLY opportunity to get that picture! I took a friend for a ride in it and we weren't out of the parking lot before she started off with, "oh jeez, I'd go straight to jail if I had one of these!!!!" Then she loved it! It looked spectacular, it drove stupendously, and if you didn't have to pay for the maintenance it was an incredible amount of fun to drive. The "$20,000 clutch replacement" could put a bit of a ding in your enthusiasm though!!!

Hot cars dont age

It made me watch Miami Vice!

Gary Goodlund 20k for fools..

Mindful Music unfortunately, good maintenance doesn’t have anything to do with a gearbox failure

yup, I don't care if they're turds, either. want both.

Probably just exaggerations. Doubt they "drove like turds"

I doubt it too, I just saying I don't care if they do.

I had a silver 959 on my wall, all my friends had Countach and Testarossa.

You should check out Harry Metcalfe's channel here on RU-vid. It's called Harry's garage. He owns a Testarossa and a Countach. There's videos of him driving them across Europe and giving detailed reviews. Apparently they are both delightful to drive when they get up to speed. The Countach is more of a workout but still very rewarding to drive.

maxxjett films definitely

gated shifter my old frend, i've come to shift with you again, Because of gear changes soo crispy Left its seeds while I was driving And that mechanical feel that was planted in my brain Still remains, Within the pleasure , of a gated shifter

exactly

That's what my gf says when she sees mine. Except I don't have a gf.

Yup!

Whittle Moore it's An amazing experience, my girlfriends brother has a 430 with straight pipes!, and as much as I love driving the viper and such, something about the Ferrari is just so amazing, different experience

lonememe i

Agreed

💯% agree. He’s a cool cat.

Completely agree. This owner is cool. As a Porsche collector, I bought my first Ferrari recently and quickly did I notice how douchey they are.

Joe Black Real car guys dump and eat doughnuts at the same time! Save the manuals!!

Vax Buster and a new seat after Matt came on it

timeless shit fr

only time id wanna do coke

Im sure something on those cars that came out at that time, the TR and the Countach have a specific coke detail on them, maybe the dash has a flat spot for teh lines or somethig? lol just day dreaming

elianpz I'm pretty sure it does have a secret compartment you can hide drugs or whatever in

If you did a test on the cars, I'm pretty sure a lot of them would turn out with tons of coke in them :D

It still is in a light vehicle. What is scary is a f150 single cab ecoboost tuned run's 12's...

JM 74 now there are 300hp motorcycles

375hp is more power than the absolute vast majority of drivers can even cope with. It's plenty.

It's 380 us spec 390 euro spec

@@Christobevii3 1st Gen testarossa are 3660lbs not exactly light.

Countach more epic and legendary!

Leuff Not even close.

Another weirdo commenting first before watching it....

I tend to agree...

excuse me, but the drive by shots on the F355 >>>>> all

theses vids are so great

These videos are so awesome, that I'm recreating the LA Canyon roads in a Sim Racing Game (Assetto Corsa)... For all the people who are not fortunate enough to own these cars in real life :) and who aren't lucky enough to live in California and experience roads like these! +TheSmokingTire Thanks so much Matt for showing these roads... as well as these magnificent machines :)

Phoenix Racing, Worse for me that i dont even live in the us, if you have a link or something for the mod, send it, i would love to play ir on assetto

+Alan K I'm from the UK, which is why I'm making Californian roads... They're epic! Yeah I'll post a link as a separate comment mate... It's a FREE mod that's on RaceDepartment . com So all you need to have is Assetto... It's WIP as it's a big project :) Also I'm working on a 23km stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway... I hope you have fun with it Alan :)

zaron z it makes me wonder what he did wrong to make that happen, it sounded like all the gears were shifting fine in every other point of the vid. Either way if it was me driving I'd be cringing and probably beet red and if I owned the car I'd probably feel the same

tyler barker Im going with a combination of not being familiar with the car, and poorly executed rev matching on 4-3-2 downshifts.

They do that sometimes, not his fault. The gearbox was probably not as warm as it would like. Gear oil quality and weight plays a huge role in how well these cars shift.

Avidity 101 I agree. But before he turns the key he he should know the things we do. Never driven a TR, but I do know about getting the trans warm before going hard. I thought he just drove it quite a distance in 3 and 4, definitely at a good clip too. Way enough to be to operating temp. IMO @8:40 it sounded like he downshifted at too high RPM. That's what made her angry. I cringed every time he shifted to fourth after the first crunch. And he definitely shouldnt have reached for fifth, because thats too high a gear for that stretch of road. Again, just my opinion.

That nervous little laugh at 8:40 😄

That would be the Countach. The Testarossa isn't even the king of 80's Ferraris. Maybe king of 85-87, but the 308 ruled the first half of the decade, and in 87 the F40 made sure no Testarossa would ever grace my wall again.

just shutup.

Ehhh I was there too, Testarossa was definitely king, there is more than one king in the world.

king of what? a C4 corvette would destroy this thing on a track, and has the same 0-60 5.5sec

King of posters that you buy at the mall and hang in your bedroom above your Commodore 64. No one was talking about raw performance. #magicalsoundshower

Fun fact: early Miami Vice Ferrari's were replicas (Ferrari declined their request for authentic ones) and Ferrari sued the show for it.

Esa Edvik made from corvettes! still had the chevy logo in the headrests

Only the Daytona was a replica. The show creators and Ferrari made an agreement to destroy the Daytona in the show to replace it with a real Testarossa instead of being sued for the fake Daytona.

Esa Edvik Ferrari gave them a Free Testarossa when they found out the Daytona was a fake.

Sounds like a fun novelty, actually really dangerous in practicality. My last car had a quiet feminine horn, you could not hear it under speed whatsoever. Regardless of how much I honk, I could not get the attention of somebody in an emergency situation.

why would you ever want a horn that ineffective and quiet

MyNameIsPhil from what I saw in the video the GUI looked exactly like Dash Command which I use.

Art Vandelay it's just the Dash Command app.

Yep 50 bucks 3 years ago and whole Torque app worked a treat here.

i even saw them going for 7$ on ebay

You should all buy thoose things! One Port of the ODB2 is directly connected to the 12V+, so this device is online all the Time. Makes it very easy to connect to this thing and deactivate the Alarm/open the doors (y)

No but they're different beasts

blackice364 He drives out late at night blasting Tangerine Dream and waking the neighbours ? lol

Been there, neighbour from bragging hell and a douche bag to boot. But then again we’d tease him that his wife bangs the help... by his reaction we guessed that may have struck a cord 😬

markw993 lmfao

Im pretty sure my 1997 Daihatsu Charade R-Limited 1.3i does if not, I will get a custom one

Tubbs needs to work on his tan a bit

The width is a myth wrapped in a truth. In my understanding the car isn't especially wide overall, it's the difference in width from front to back that can make it a bit of a handful in tight streets and other places. You also need to consider a bit of context. It's certainly not too wide for US roads but in Europe (where it was conceived and built) you could not drive anything bigger than a F150 comfortably so it is relatively speaking a much wider car here than in the US.

180 degrees on a Protractor is a straight line. So tell me Mr smarty pants, why is it called a V? It's a Flat twelve, end of story.

dwarf365 and a diesel and a gas engine are also basically the same so why make a difference between them, as both explode a liquid to make power does that sound stupid to you? because that's how you sound talking about 180° vs boxer/flat

Simon Coles it is most certainly a flat 12, it's just not to be confused with a subaru style flat engine aka "boxer". Flat != boxer but flat == 180 degree "v".

themangiant simon is correct, you and farrah are not. either way beautiful car and engine, thats whats important

matt should follow up with a testaiero. those kits were funny

lolwut?

i see what u did there

Someone bring him a 99.

magna vox Quickly!

Disgusting! The car isn't turbocharged. It's not even Swedish. Plus it has foolish RWD

Looks kinda like a Sonnet III that grew up and took steroids. I guess I can see the mistake. lol

lol

BranPSU13 it doesn't even have 3 working breaks

BranPSU13 oh no he di ent

BranPSU13 actually it has a clutch

I'm actually crying

Before asking what is the difference between the two, here is a link in which it's explained: allaboutdieselz.blogspot.ro/2017/01/180-degree-v12-engine.html

what a stupid and wrong explanation! here's a better one: 512BB (berlinetta boxer) "boxer" = "flat engine"

Rover Waters The pistons in a boxer engine are going in the opposite direction in the two cylinder banks (like in the picture in the link) while in a V12 (60, 90, 180 or whatever degree) are 2 up, 2 in the middle and 2 down. If you're still not convinced Google it or check Wikipedia, only in that case of course if you're not that kind of person who knows best no matter what :)

I only know what Giuseppe tells me! Capisci?

Rover Waters en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_flat-12_engine

Mike Arredondo pretty sure that's the antenna, I haven't seen those in years, I forgot they even were a thing.

billy mccabe kinda annoying I thought they where dirt lines left from the wipers
