Ferrari Testarossa
One sheet Ferrari Testarossa, the iconic original model produced from 1984 to 1991. It can be identified as the original Testarossa model, rather than the later 512 TR or F512 M variants, by specific visual cues:
Identification Details
Front Bumper: The original Testarossa features a distinct, flatter front bumper with a smaller black grille compared to the more rounded, body-colored bumper and larger grille introduced on the 512 TR.
Rear Sail Panel: The buttresses (sail panels) that flow from the roof to the rear deck feature a black perforated air grille and a slight step where they meet the roofline. The later 512 TR had a plain, smooth transition in this area, without the step or the black grille.
Wheels: The image shows the five-spoke star-pattern wheels characteristic of the Testarossa. The original model came with 16-inch wheels, which were updated to larger 18-inch wheels on the 512 TR. The wheels on the car in the image appear to be the smaller 16-inch size.
General Information
Production: The Testarossa was produced from 1984 to 1991, with roughly 7,177 units built.
Engine: It is powered by a 4.9-liter flat-12 engine (a 180° V12) that produces around 385 to 390 horsepower. The name "Testarossa" means "red head" in Italian, referring to the red-painted valve covers on the engine.
Cultural Impact: The car is widely recognized as a cultural icon of the 1980s, popularized by media like the television series Miami Vice and the video game Out Run.
Design Functionality: The car's wide body and signature side strakes were functional design elements by Pininfarina, intended to channel air to the side-mounted radiators to keep the engine cool and reduce cockpit heat, a problem with its predecessor, the 512 BBi.
