Fun facts: TUBBS drove CROCKETT's sleek, black Ferrari Daytona Spyder only once...and never the Testarossa.

Cait: The Testaroni? Sonny: It's Testarossa. Still cracks me up to this day.

That 190/300 convertible Mercedes at the end is worth its weight in gold right now!

Sonny Crockett is the coolest character in television history.

The story is Ferrari offered a real one after they saw the Daytona was a replica , the show was really popular by then & great for the company advertising the car

I love how Crockett starts the Porsche with the imaginary key on the wrong side of the steering wheel. Ferrari gave the production company the TR because they didn't want the fake Daytona getting screen time. The car company from Maranello is very particular about their brand image. Odd Vice trivia - you saw the interior of every main character's home except for Rico's.

Awesome cars from Crockett.... 👍 I personally like the Lamborghini Countach from dude he chased

I lived on the street where Carl Roberts shop was located when he was building the stunt cars. Saw the Daytonas and Testarossa’s on numerous occasions……it was pretty cool.

Fan theory: Crockett inherited millions when his rock-star wife Caitlyn was murdered - and bought the car himself when he quit.

That Testarossa must have been like a spaceship back in the 80's.

Ahhh happy days.. loved this show so much.

The editing in this video is sublime.

Excellent job..... Nobody mentions the Pantera kit..... Very well researched.

I was going to say "where's the Camaro from the pilot?" but then I remembered he never owned that one. He just 'borrowed' it.

Even if they're not genuine, those are some amazing replicas.

glad to see this channel growing, great work and clips!

The Daytona was my favorite.

I remember watching that Daytona being blown up on the reruns

The Black Daytona was my favorite car of the two.

I lived in Miami in the 80s I was downtown, at the time of shooting a scene, I saw Don Johnson. from a distance, He was standing near the court house.

The daytona spyder was the best

the testarossa (the two) were delivered in black you can see her in the episode with Liam Neeson then painted white... the most beautiful car in the world :))

I had a friend in that unit when it was first organized. They drove leased Chrysler K cars.

Good history

My favorite series Miami Vice 1984-1989. New cars prices 1985. Ferrari 308 60.000 $. Ferrari Testarosa 85.000 $. Lamborghini Countach 100.000 $. Porsche 928 S 50.000 $. V8 288 h/p. Porsche 944 26.000 $ 165 h/p. Corvette C3 25.000 $. Porsche 911 turbo 85.000 $ 300 h/p. Police peaple to earn in year 1985 /week 475 $ in Miami. Miami Vice ist for me the best.

Interesting that the black Chevy pickup had a roof chop. Wonder where it came from and who has it now.

There was also a another black Ferrari that was driven by Crockett (not the Daytona) - but I don't remember the name of the episode...

Didn't Crockett drive a 1980's Chevy Camaro in a very early episode where he is chasing Tubbs before he was his partner in a speed boat?

The Daytona wasn't actually destroyed. They used a scale model so Ferrari would think it was. They used two Daytona replicas and both still exist.

Forgot about the yellow car he drove in NYC in season 2 opener, "Prodigal Son".

Daytonas are now million dollar cars.

What a sad sight 2 see the Daytona blown up,, car just had it's own caracter

The Testarossa was listed on eBay for one million dollars and came with extras from the TV show

didnt he also drive a pickup truck for an episode or 2 when the black daytona was destroyed but before he got the testarossa?

I thought they were bring Miami Vice back on TV ?a thousand trailers but no show ? What's up with that?

1M of my shows🔥

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background at 4:34?

He never turned that white Ferrari back IN after him and Tubbs threw their badges on the ground.

The fake Testarossa is easy to spot, because it had deep dish, chrome wheels. The real one had the stock, flat face aluminum wheels.

Ferrari Testarossa!!!!

The mullet is alive and well.🤣

I thought Noogie called in a 68 spyder?

The Ferrari is like a two million dollar car now.

Sure ! After all he had going on , it was his car.

i think the explosion on 3:39 looks like a miniature model and not a real car. The trees and the sand are not real.

I clicked I thought thumbnail was milo yianappolous

You can write about Cars if you dont realise the Daytona was a kit car and not a Ferrari its like mistaking a milk float for a Maserati 😂

white Testarossa!!!

Crockett drove a Camaro in the pilot after the 911 and b4 the Daytona

What’s the song at 5:28?

Daytona a replica based on a Corvette

'Sold.' another fun-fact the 1987 Buick Grand National beat the Testarossa in the quarter mile -- Crockett should've driven that, it was sinister and black just like the Daytona 😎

Crockett wouldn't keep the car for himself after quitting the force...i'm sure Crockett was given a 24-48 hour window to turn over every piece of state confiscated property used for his undercover alias...so it was never stolen when he quit

No mention about Enzo FERRARI gift to the series, the white Testarossa . . . The fake Daytona was not that bad looking after all . . .

There is a White camaro in the pilot

If you ever get to see a Testarossa in person, do so. Its insanely smaller and lower than you can ever imagine. The camera work makes it look like a 1970's Cadillac, but in reality, its an oversized go-kart.

My uncle bought one of the stunt Testarossas (a Pantera with a body kit), after shooting on the show had wrapped up, it was in rough shape but he had it restored. However, by the time it was complete, he spent so much money on it, he could have almost bought a real used Testarossa. 😆 Several years later he sold it to a collector who loved the show and got twice as much as he had in it, but he really regretted not keeping it.

Watching season 3 onward it was surprising how little the stunt Testarossa (Pantera based) was used. There were quite a few obvious examples but in the long chase in""Down For The Count (Part2)" it's nearly all the real Testarossa including the 180 degree spin - I always thought that was really brave. The stunt car was always easy to pick out largely due to the deep dish chrome wheels but it was Impressive stuff though and some tremendous driving with both the real and stunt car.

the coolest TUBBS' car and cover name, CUBERA was a 1983 ASTON MARTIN V8 VOLANTE from season 3 episode WALK-ALONE.

What can I say? I have a knack for driving some nice cars.

"Miami Vice" Daytona spider was later also used in 1989 "Speed Zone" ( The Cannonball Run 3 )!!

I think, the Daytona replica was the best! 👍

Crockett’s Daytona was probably faster than a real Ferrari in that McBurnie installed twin turbo small block Chevy 350s in them. In Nash Bridges he drove a yellow 1971 Hemi Cuda clone. The car was actually outfitted with 340 small block A series engines. So that makes two of Don Johnson’s most famous TV cars a fake. But still very cool.

In the episode, "Smuggler's blues" crockett drove a Wimbledon white 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible when they going to the plane.

Best cop show ever!!! Period!!!

I love the Ferrari Testarossa. Made mine on GTA Online.

The best tv cars. Ever. 😎

In the pilot episode it was the real deal Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona spider! 😎

after the same car was involved in every major drug bust in Miami, wouldn’t you be nervous handing a duffle bag of cocaine over to a guy in a white Ferrari?

Crockett uses his famous "clear my desk" line -- slightly paraphrased to, "I will clear my desk of all my other cases and spend every waking hour making sure you fry for the murder of a cop!" -- for a final time in this episode. He would use the line a total of four times over the course of the series -- the other three occasions being in "One Eyed Jack", "French Twist" and "By Hooker by Crook".

Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona spider in: 1976 "The Gumball Rally", The Best Car movie ever made!! 1984-1986 "Miami Vice", The Best TV Show ever made!! 😎

The kit car Daytona was destroyed because Ferrari insisted the show use a real Ferrari. The cell phone wasn't real. Sonny initially used as his main gun a Bren Ten, chambered in 45 ACP. He later used a Smith & Wesson model 465, chambered in .45 ACP. Finally, he used an S&W 4506 chambered in .45 ACP.

I have a battery operated remote controlled, Miami Vice ( with its box ), White Farrari Testarossa, toy car. ❤️ In Nash Bridges Don Johnson drives a Mustard Yellow Ford Mustang. I can't drive but I love cars and I'm a demon driver on the funfair dodgems. 😁

The fake Daytona still looked the best, IMO

No show like before or ever since. It was one of a kind.

The fisrt episode... The white camaro in the chase boat...

Like Magnum, it's funny how no one ever recognized the cars elsewhere in the city and put two and two together.

The original car, Daytona is a "Corrari". Enzo did not approve, so he gave the show real Testarossa and demanded the show to blow up the imitation. Of course, I loved the Corrari much better than the Testarossa.

8:02. I'll take that Mercedes 300sl over anything. Elegant beauty.

What about the Berlinetta Camaro ep 1

Had a friend on the production crew and he used to get me on set when they’d film. I would just kind of hang out of the way. Two identical Testarossas were used. They were originally black, but then painted white because it was felt they didn’t show up well during night scenes. Cheaper to paint them than supply two new white ones!

Never understood the long hair on Crockett in season 4 and 5. It was also lighter and didn't suit him at all. Well... that was the eighties and I guess it was mandatory LOL.

This is one series whose charm & attraction can never diminish !!!!

Yeah the man in the White Lamborghini sez "Don't scratch my $100,000. car" when houses in my city had like a median price of $70-80 Thousand Dollars at that point in time!

6:12 The first generation Testarossa's came pre-installed with major flaw that would not be discovered until the car aged around 15 years. When the Testarossa was designed, no new differential and transmission component was made for the model, instead, a carry-over from the 512 Boxer was used and the car was sold. The Testarossa was a Boxer model with increased horsepower and fitted with wider tires, which was not a good match for the older 512 differential, housing unit and propeller shafts. The 512 Boxer transmission was designed for skinny width tires. The result in the Testarossa was a ticking time bomb inside the differential housing that cracked and sent gears to an immediate grind, resulting in instant rear wheel lockup while driving. Ferrari's solution for the repair was for the owner replace the entire transmission with the newer and improved 512tr transmission,(compatible bolt on and go part) which was completely redesigned to handle the new torque and wider tire characteristics of a more powerful 1990's Boxer evolution, including the 512m. All 80's Testarossa's that have not had this replacement, will suffer dreaded differential lockup in time.

Eddie Kaye face always reminds me Manny from Scarface

That white Testarossa is so iconic!

The best the testarrosa

He had to give up the Daytona because it was shot in Miami. 😜 Now, you did miss one; the white Trans Am or whatever it was, in the chase scene where he met Tubbs.

5:35 just wait one second, now that is oscar golden globe style acting stuff here

So, the Testarossa had a similar problem to the original Miura. In the Miura when you pegged the brakes, the fuel in the carbs would slosh forward and starve the engine.

Most non-fans will point out how Miami Vice was "unrealistic" by having the cops drive Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other luxury cars that no cop would be able to afford. They fail to see the fact that these vehicles aren't actually theirs, but cars seized in drug busts and used for "official" reasons!

no...i dont think he 'stole' it...i think he bought it from the police. yes he only had a cops salary, but lest we remember that he inherited all his wife Kaitlin had...including her house and her money.

1:57 the manual Ferrari V-12 sounds very much like an automatic Chevy V8.

Crockett to Tubbs: sometimes you're no fun at all! I think that was the only time they stopped at a red light

more importantly, he left Elvis behind???

Everybody went crazy over the white one and I thought that was the worst one really. lol...

I had a copy of Popular Mechanics magazine from the 80s that went into detail about all the toys on Miami Vice. The Daytona Spyder was a kit car built on a Corvette frame. Also in the pilot episode, when Sonny is chasing Rico through the harbor, he drives a 84 Camaro Z28.

Ohhhh my lord the 1959 Chevy task-force step-side man that’s gorgeous ❤
