About this car

The 1988 Ferrari Testarossa delivers iconic 1980s supercar presence with its rear longitudinal 180° V12 engine. This 4,943 cc powerplant produces 287 kW (390 hp) at 6,300 rpm and 490 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and dry-sump lubrication. The berlinetta body rides on a tubular steel chassis with independent wishbone suspension at both ends, delivering a top speed of 290 km/h and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.8 seconds.

With only 10,577 miles recorded, this example remains in preserved condition. Standard equipment includes Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection, Marelli Microplex electronic ignition, dual-plate clutch, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. Front tires measure 225/50 VR 16 while rears are 255/50 VR 16. Overall dimensions are 4,485 mm long, 1,976 mm wide, and 1,130 mm tall on a 2,550 mm wheelbase.

The two-seater cabin and lightweight construction at 1,506 kg dry weight emphasize the model's pure grand touring character. A 120-liter fuel tank supports extended drives, while the chassis and body deliver the balanced handling expected from Ferrari's flagship of the era.

About the Ferrari Testarossa

Production: 1984–1991
Est. units built: 9,957
Cylinders: 12
Powertrain: Combustion
Body: Coupe

The Ferrari Testarossa, produced from 1984 to 1996, is an iconic mid-engine sports car that became a symbol of 1980s automotive design. Approximately 7,177 units were built during its production run, making it relatively rare compared to mass-produced vehicles, though not the rarest in Ferrari's lineup. It features a 4.9-liter flat-12 engine, delivering 390 horsepower in its initial iteration, with later versions (like the 512 TR) increasing output to 428 horsepower. The car achieves a top speed of around 180 mph (290 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of approximately 5.2 seconds, impressive for its era.

Designed by Pininfarina, the Testarossa is instantly recognizable for its wide rear haunches and distinctive side strakes, which aided engine cooling. Its name, meaning "red head," refers to the red-painted camshaft covers. For exotic car collectors, the Testarossa holds significant appeal due to its cultural impact, notably its prominence in media like *Miami Vice*. Values have risen in recent years, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $100,000 at auctions. Special editions, such as the 1994 512 TR Spider (only 2 units made), are exceptionally rare and highly sought after.
