We tracked down the original Owner who is willing to work with us on getting a new Title (but will still take time because of the paperwork involved), but the Elderly Gentleman actually regretted ever selling and wants to buy the car back! I explained the situation to Tyler, and he graciously offered to return the vehicle. We hope to find Tyler another car, and one he will keep!

That engine is most definitely a Flat-12. Throwing V in there is incorrect. V angles can range dramatically, but once you get out to 180° it's a straight line......flat. I know Doug thinks that somehow the arrangement of the journals on the crankshaft comes into this, but it's simply incorrect. That's what the term boxer is for in a flat engine. V vs flat is determined by the arrangement of cylinders in the crankcase and has nothing to do with the crankshaft. This is and will always be a Flat-12. Doug's opinion here is not consistent with any engineering text or industry standard I've ever seen, and I've spent the vast majority of my career in the engine design and manufacturing field.

[@No.Handle31]

Ryan Smith Thank you for putting that on. Boxer is a flat engine Doug is talking out of his exhaust. I watch his videos and he gets plenty wrong.

[@HappyDude1]

I tought flat means no turbo xp

[@techpad7830]

You guys are simply.... You get your facts wrong and show that to everyone on the internet. A180° V-Engine can be found in a lot of great sports- and racecars. It would have been easy to look it up "with all that internet and stuff". But since you don´t seem to get it, I did that for you: A V-Engine always features two rods on one crankpin, while on a boxer-engine, each rod will have it´s own. That´s it. Here is the wiki-artricle, picture on the right of the article shows the difference. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_engine

[@MyCoolMac]

Tech Päd Thank you!! There is obviously a difference between a 180° V12 and a flat 12.

[@rsmith2786]

"A V-Engine always features two rods on one crankpin, while on a boxer-engine, each rod will have it´s own. That´s it." But that isn't true! The Ford Taunus V4 engine clearly violates your logic. Look up some crankshaft pictures. I guess we'd start calling that a boxer? There are countless other examples. This logic of thinking a crankshaft arrangement has anything to do with a term for the crankcase arrangement makes no sense. The crankshaft has nothing to do with Flat vs V! There is other nomenclature for the characteristics of a crankshaft (flat-plane, cross-plane, boxer, split pin, etc.). What you're stating is inconsistent with all recip engine engineering texts going back to the 1800s. Why are we trying to redefine this now?

The 512 TR was the best iteration of the "testarossa". It's engine was reworked extensively providing more power, and a broader torque curve, and the exterior styling was also refined into a more cohesive and handsome design. The larger wheels gave it better proportions, and they look modern when compared to the original ones. Unfortunately they are also commanding much better money and are definitely fewer on the market.

But like I said, I don't remember what the deal was with it. Whatever it should be called, I think he should have kept it ;)

And then everyone (nearly) dies from being exposed to the resulting massive wall of text, and I have to go into hiding for a while till the heat dies down, so I don't get my keyboard taken away for attempted murder.

"Flat 12" is actually correct. What kind of V has a 180* angle? Is this "---" a V? What's incorrect, in this particular car, is calling it a "Boxer 12", due to nothing more than the crank pin arrangement. The predecessor of this car was the 512 Boxer Berlinetta, which was a misnomer.

[@macgroober1396]

It's a flat 12, period. The crank has a non-traditional firing sequence for a boxer engine, but the cylinders are still opposed 180 degrees from each other, ergo it's a flat 12. That's been how engines have been classified for a long long time. Yamaha R1 motors aren't called V-inline fours. Mustang GT350 motors aren't called flat-V8s. They just have non-traditional crank layouts. *I call flat motors "boxer" because their range of motion will fit in a hypothetical box.* Anyone calling a Testarossa motor a flat V12 is just talking just for sake of hearing themself speak, or they're the type of person that likes to act as if they're the most knowledgeable person in the room because they think they know some...."quirk".... that no one else knows about.

[@Exzachtly_ND]

Ferrari themselves calls it a V12. Its not just the firing order thats different, its that the Ferrari engine uses one crank pin per PAIR of cylinders. The Porsche and Subaru engines use one crank pin per SINGLE cylinder. This allows the Subaru pistons to reach top dead center at the exact same time, while the Ferrari pistons reach top dead center at the exact opposite time. This gives the V12 a very rhythmic appearance, and the boxer engine has the appearance of opposing pistons are, well, boxing each other. It has a completely different firing order from a boxer engine, because it fires in a completely different way, mechanically speaking. If you don't like it, email Ferrari, let them know they don't know how engines work.

[@mcplutt]

It's a 180 degree V12. Not a flat boxer engine.

[@KLAWNINETY]

The engine is a flat version of a 60° V12 Ferrari motor I THINK that's why a true Ferrari aficionado may be expected to refer to It this way?

[@DIZAZZO]

I agree with you, I always say Flat 12, it's all about the shape of the engine, the firing order or the position of the pistons are just a detail, that you just need to read or be told about, it isn't something you know just looking at it in the engine bay.

When he said "why I'm not keeping it" and the Hoovie theme played I heard Jeremy Clarkson say "and on that bomb shell have a goodnight!"

[@harrier1830]

That biturbo was dreadful 😂

[@catfishcorner7116]

Well you’ll get another nice hoopty real soon! Another great video and I see the seller was a stand up guy!🐟

[@Arun999]

I like how hoovie is more in depth in telling us all about its quirks and features than Doug was when he reviewed the testarossa. Aside from the cheesy one line jokes Tyler commentary is getting better

[@CivilGuy]

Did you slow down and change the pitch of the outro song?

[@nakoma5]

Naw, what made you think that? xD

[@jamescraig4479]

I heard that too! ;-)

[@Mysticfateee]

Pretty sure that was for effect...

[@jjarechiga]

+1

[@fredfrederickson]

CivilGuy that’s what happens when you slow things down lol

[@mikeyfoust2282]

3:15 ...the last owner said no slammy the hood! have some respect for the machine hoovie!

[@005AGIMA]

Ferrari Testarossa, probably THE soundest investment of our time. Hoovies Garage: I'm not keeping it. Everyone who's ever wanted one: FACEPALM!

[@jwenting]

he sold it because it's too good...

[@anthonymicale5696]

I learned to drive manual on a 512TR. Worst car mistake ever was when I heard it was being traded in for a rapidly depreciating Bentley. There is nothing like this line of Ferrari, and there will never be again. Unless it’s out of financial necessity, having one and letting it go will become a painful regret....

[@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182]

winston churchill did not say that that was fdr (don't know if that was a joke that went over my head but i felt the need to correct it)

[@FranklySpeaking73]

John F Kennedy. ha ha

[@Daddison5859]

It sounded like the starter was catching on startup

[@redtesta]

i love my TR. Its different and ive had a few exotics. Im glad you did a solid review on this and explanation. Maybe a 512TR?

[@SportscardLyle_onIG]

The interior looks great

[@thisisnightshop2037]

I'm waiting for the episode when he reveals that it was a Fiero kit car the whole time

[@thekydman01]

jfc bro hahahahahahahahahahah

[@TheInja]

According to this video, you love 28 things about your Ferrari

[@Harpo55555]

I don't often read comments, but I am surprised by what I see here. I expected friendly car guys, not amateur psychiatrists, snarky references alleging dishonesty in your motives and finances, etc etc. To those people I have this to say: Get a life. Tyler does what he does because he enjoys it and it pays the bills. If you don't like that, then maybe YOU need to try doing yourself it rather than writing trashy comments. And to Tyler I say "Thank you". I don't like all your cars, I don't agree with all your decisions, but I'm sure you'd say the same about me and that's ok. I DO love your unique approach, and watching your videos brings me enjoyment. I wouldn't presume to analyze you or raise suspicions about your motives, because friends don't do that.

[@pnk.flyd.1918]

Hoovie love your vids keep em commin even caught the wife watchin your vidio on the burn job

[@RVREVO]

selling point one: Don Johnson drove this in Miami Vice

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Uh, pretty sure Toyota took a lot of the design language of the Testarossa for the 2nd gen MR2.

[@GldVWisRR]

2nd gen MR2 looks more like 355 than a Testarossa. IMO

[@thanxbutno]

1st gen mr2?

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Ronnie R yes that's true, I think they are both in there though. First gen MR2 looks more like a Fiat X1/9.

[@L3THALXFOX]

Matthew Sharpe the mr2 looks more like the f40 Ferrari not the testerosa

[@Seaker24]

Acura NSX?

[@cwsnkc]

Thanks for your posts. I enjoy watching them. Maybe your next project could be an older Lamborghini Countach 5000S. It is my all-time favorite vehicle.

[@bounceybouncey7128]

I'm just glad you pronounce Testarossa correctly. So many so called car nuts insist on calling it a "Testa ROSS-Aah"

[@nymetswinws]

FDR said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Not Churchill lol

[@IsaakHunt]

Yep. Churchill is mostly known for "blood, sweat and tears", a speech during WWII.

[@synon9m]

First we shape our cars, then our cars shape us. Churchill

[@Trickynico55]

I was so distracted by the spit glue on his bottom lip that I don’t even remember what the video was about.

[@ep-ou7sc]

Scrolled through comments to see if i was only one

[@codyburns8050]

Oh my heart is broken! I wish you had been able to keep it. Nobody else on youtube actually owns a testarrosa, i was looking forward to more videos with the ferrari.

[@jd-py5nm]

one of if not best ferraris certainly one of my faves and your right I had a friend with a 308GT4 that did all his own maintenance

[@DubSe7en]

6:30 harry metcalfe drove his to the sahara from the uk. You’ll be fine.

[@FrankBarryLuv]

You Love the car ? Tell my neighbor, he used to be responsible for the interior design at the time he was working for Pininfarina. He‘ll be flattered.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

The ergonomics of this car are horrible. Tell your neighbour that.

[@acertainshape]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH how so?

[@LMacNeill]

Aww, man! That is literally my favorite Ferrari of all time! I was looking forward to that being a part of the hooptie fleet. :-(

[@mightypro150]

+10 cool factor. Minus the kitchen chair seats.

[@apexseal2811]

Next step is getting a red 308 GTS, dress in Hawaiian short sleeve shirts and become a private crime investigator -and most important, grow a black moustache.

[@MrKinir]

Don't forget the hairy chest ^^

[@HappyDude1]

The way the hood closes and the engine starts thats italian quality right there

[@Cyba_IT_NZ]

I have a feeling that's the real he reason he's getting rid of it or rather, decided to return it so quickly.

[@TheBryson185]

I miss the old reviews of you showing us all the weird stuff about cars. Then just absolutely ripping it across back roads. Love you Hoovie, hope the shows are going well...

[@Cliffdog01]

I don't mind the expensive purchases but I am glad that you will go back to cheap hoopties that maybe I could buy. I am just a cleaner with 0 money and it is why I liked this and RCR because you showed things that even I could afford and that aren't barn finds (which seems extremely rare). Honestly, I'd love to see American Cars since I never get to see that stuff maybe you should use the Ferrari money and get the best Buick Roadmaster in the country.
