Made famous for its role in Miami Vice and Sega\u2019s Out Run, the Testarossa was Ferraris leading supercar in the mid-eighties. Its distinctive side strakes and ultra-wide rear track inspired many other supercar designs and they became a symbol of 1980\u2019s retrograde culture.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compared to the 512i BB it effectively replaced, the Testarossa was a larger car that accommodated mid-mounted radiators. This helped reduce cockpit heat and also had the effect of making the car much wider at the rear. It also provided more space in the front trunk.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Testarossa was powered by a 4.9-liter version of Ferrari\u2019s Boxer-12 which was effectively a 180\u00ba V12. Producing 390 bhp, 0\u201360 miles per hour was typically clocked at 5.2 seconds.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As released at the 1984 Paris Motor Show, the Testarossa was a world car which required little modification for importation to America. It was produced with very few changes up until 1991 when it was updated to the 512TR.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upon its debut, the Ferrari Testarossa captivated automotive enthusiasts with its bold styling and performance. Early versions of the Testarossa, identifiable by a single high-mounted mirror on the A-pillar, earned the nickname “Monospecchio.”\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
