Ferrari Testarossa - The Supercar of the 80s and 90s

The Ferrari Testarossa screams 1980's styling, but in the best way possible. Its loud 12 cylinder engine, wide body, and aggressive design as become an automotive icon. The Testarossa is the predecessor to the Ferrari Boxer, and managed to resolve many of the issues that were common in the boxer. One of those issues was excessive cabin heat due to the radiators being in the front of the car. The Testarossa solved that issue by relocating the radiators to the side of the car, which is where the wide hips on the Testarossa originate from. There were three variations of the TR produced, the car you see in this video, then the 512 Testarossa, and finally the 512M. While the variations on the Testarossa have some improvements, it is widely believed that the first edition of the car has the most aggressive stance and is the best looking of the bunch. In this video we will discus the history of the Testarossa along with what it takes to service it, and much more.

This car is Just so amazing... Its like a piece of art out of a museum....

@antoniomontana9430 9 месяцев назад

And that's exactly how Enzo Ferrari wanted his cars to be seen as an authentic Italian work of art and engineering. Ferrari has strict guidelines on authorized paint schemes as well and if you attempt to repaint your Ferrari in some oddball color, Ferrari's lawyers will be sending you a not so pleasant cease and desist letter.

@jamesdellaneve9005 2 года назад

I remember this during it’s day. These were so exotic and powerful. They still look great. It’s amazing the modern cars’ performance. Back in the day, we thought that the days of the muscle car were over. Cheap-ish American cars are amazing today. It’s nice that this car design has stood the test of time. It doesn’t look dated like the Countach.

@arthshah06 2 года назад

Italian is Italian Americans can never have that emotion

@tjroelsma 2 года назад

They were horrible to drive though. Short distances and simple cruising weren't much of a problem, but on a somewhat longer trip the rock-hard suspension tended to almost break the occupants' backs. The Countach was way better suited to longer trips than the Testarossa.

well that particular car will have a drop in price due to the accident no matter how small it is, because any car has same issue for all salvage titles +the drop in value if was involved in any minor incidents over same model of car that was not involved in any incidents at all, that is even if the repairs would be made by a Ferrari dealer shop..

I really missed the boat on buying one of these (during the banking crisis around 2010). Testarossas and Porsche 930s (including slant-nose) were relatively VERY affordable.

@phillipmitchell5879 2 года назад

I Love the TR's & 512's. Not too practical as a driver - so wide that it's hard to find safe parking. Still beautiful & classic. [The Berlinetta Boxer had a 180 degree 4.4L FLAT-12 engine. The newer Testarossa (name derived from the beautiful 'red head' Testarossa 250, 1957-1961) had a 180 degree 4.9L Flat-12.]

@clicheguevara5282 2 года назад

I was grossed out by the 80s aesthetic as a kid _during_ the 80s. Lol I'm still not a fan of most 80s design, fashion, music production, etc. I wasn't really a fan of 80s Lambos even as a kid. ...but I've always thought the Testarossa is absolutely gorgeous. The way those widebody rear fenders create a shelf that swoops down and blends into the door... With the strakes shooting into it... It's the perfect example of "looks fast even when it's standing still". They nailed it. The car reminds me a lot of really good guitar design. There are lots of straight lines and hard edges but they're all tied together with perfectly placed, organic curves. If a Testa were a guitar, it would be a Gibson Firebird. I honestly think they're way better looking than F-40s. Along with the 250 variants, they're the prettiest cars from the Enzo era. (IMHO)

@toddniehaus 2 года назад

A salvage title doesn't scare me... as long as the seller can show me photos of the damage, teardown, and repair. No photos and "it was just a light hit, easy fix" doesn't instill confidence. If I didn't do the work myself, I at least want to see what someone else did.

@user-sv8ce7lw6t 2 года назад

Love the TR.. not going to lie getting a car totaled for that little damage is why i dislike insurace adjusters.

There are classic car policies that come with the option for you to get the car back after a write-off, if you want that.

@TravelHonestly 2 года назад

Gorgeous. Not so sure on that subwoofer enclosure though. Love how you shift out of gear and coast to the lights in neutral Colleen ;)

@FerrarisOnline 2 года назад

Yeah the sub box is interested. We have seen a few TRs with some pretty extra stereo systems, LEDs etc in them. This one is fairly tasteful.

@manuelmiguelestrada8049 9 дней назад

B.Title is never a problem as long as it has… transparency…detail… concise and matching information. Never. I’m pretty sure this TR will come out a total gem for someone to invest in… you don’t buy a Ferrari… you invest in one- because it’s worth it-the rest is just? Bridges to Cross. Cool Lady with the Black Sabbath T-Shirt Tour which birthed War-Pigs into the Amps.. 1978-79. I know … I own the original large patch from the show.

@timgosling6189 2 года назад

Good summary! The side strakes were a response to German pedestrian safety regulations; ditto the 348. Fortunately those regs lasted only a few years, giving us eventually the beautiful F355, but Ferrari apparently decided the TR series had to keep them. It is a true flat 12, or a 180-degree V12, depends how you look at it. But yes not a true 'boxer'. Doesn't actually matter; it's a great long-distance GT. Just don't drive it like a race car or the high CofG and roll oversteer will get you in the end! Not so wide by today's standards, my baby Range Rover is several inches wider, but you do have to remember when eyeing up a gap that the back end is a lot wider than the front where you're sitting!

@wingyang9663 Год назад

這部車真的很漂亮。

@ChasingDifferentAdventures 2 года назад

The Tesarossa is definitely a favorite as are the F40 - F50, and the LaFerrai. The side Straights are also aerodynamically functional as well. Angled to slightly for rear wheel downforce each side adds considerable downforce. As is the rear fender haunches, which are angled to ramp up as a mini rear wing. Thank for Sharing such a beautiful example of rolling Artwork 👦🏻👍🏻🏎️🏁 The 3rd Pedal Manual Transmission is the +

@jimsta10 2 года назад

The clutch isn't getting a workout but I'm pretty sure the breaks are when you're putting it in neutral and breaking lol

@michaelfraser5723 Год назад

At least it has a head seat between the seats : )

@overcastfriday81 2 года назад

Steer miles away from the insurance company that made it a salvage title with so little damage. I have a cheap $8000 daily driver with a salvage title. It also did not have enough damage to justify the title. The only way I could get comp and collision was to accept a fully depreciated value. So my premium is low but if I get in an accident, they will cut a check for $1200 instead of about $4800. I was willing to chance it because they allowed me to keep generous liability limits. Prospective buyers should contact their insurance company and ask about terms and conditions for salvage cars. I won't screw the next owner because I will drive it until it's truly dead -- the next owner will be a salvage yard.

@anthonygambitta6220 2 года назад

Labor is crazy money for the TR. My flat 6 911 turbo look costs peanuts to service VS. the TR, and I get the same thrill of driving it and sensational sound. Major service is approx. $3-4k, TR is around $20K. The 911 has German reliability as well. I can take my 911 across the country without any hesitation, not sure TR will do it without beakdown or fuss.

@landonbarretto4933 Год назад

I was looking at a Tributo or Roma for my first Ferrari (I've only ever owned Porsches for 40 years) but I just can't stomach driving an automatic. So I found an '89 Testarossa that I'm in the process of buying. Very cool and beautiful.

@yaroslavbozhdynsky Год назад

Flat engine is a bigger category that includes boxers and 180-degree Vs. Testarossa is both flat-12 and 180-degree V12.

@TheGreatLoco 2 года назад

When you stop on a red light, in a manual car, you never press the clutch and leave the car in first. You put the gearbox in neutral and press the brake if necessary.

The Testarosa even by today's standards is a very beautiful car. In fact, I have no idea why they do not build another. Some of the newer Ferraris lack an iconic look, in fact in my humble opinion boring with a few exceptions.

This is a 1987 og 1988 car because of the single bolt wheels. The paint job in the front is not like the original(should be black behind the front grill). The loudspeaker between the seats is also an aftermarket installation. Remember that a european model is more popular than an american(more power, less weight and not the automatic seatbelt).

@jgonzalesm6 2 года назад

Just to change the belts on this car, the whole engine needs to be dropped because the belts are right behind the rear window and those belts need constant changing. $$$$$ The single hub on the rims was a nightmare. That's why Ferrari opted for the 5 lug nut rims on later models. Why one mirror on the drivers side????.....which is why Ferrari opted to 2 mirrors on later models. IF you buy a Ferrari, you marry the mechanic...literally. Ferrari's ethos is: "We sell cars to finance Ferrari racing....especially in F1".....hence why EVERYTHING having to do with a Ferrari is extremely expensive.

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!
