That seatbelt was quite the innovation. I also appreciate the lighted ashtray, even though I don't smoke. The Testarossa is a classic. When the rounded Ferraris came out like the 360 in 1999, the Testarossa looked dated. But now, it's starting to look timeless.

I was considering one a few years ago (Auto Trader had several listed under $60,000!) but decided against it because of the Testarossa's high regular maintenance costs. I am KICKING MYSELF IN THE ASS nowadays.
@janrbh177 жыл бұрын
The costs are about 5-10 000 dollars per year. At least you must be ready to spend that much if you are a bit unlucky. Gearbox breakes every 5-10 year ( 50 000 dollars). Other costs are ok ( brakes, shockabsorbers, bushings, axles, paintwork/ bodywork and so on is expensive but not crazy like gearbox and engine-repair). The timing-belt is every 4-5 years ( incl. everything ( valve-adjustments, changing pulleys +++++) it will set you back about 10 000 usd). I bought the 512 TR in 2006 for 50 000 euros. Have broken the gearbox ( differential) twice and spent at least 100 000 usd in repairs. So if I sell the car now I will MAYBE break even.....

janrbh1716: Worse than I thought! Thank you for providing that example . . it makes me feel a little better about passing on the TR when I had opportunities to buy them at $60,000. I ended up buying an Aston Martin instead of the Ferrari. Since it shared a lot of parts with Volvo and Ford, and the mechanicals are easily accessible, regular maintenance is far less costly than most people realize. It only required a single service every 10,000 miles and a good independent repair shop could do most of the work. However, the car had an unending litany of computer glitches, sensor malfunctions and leaks (basically examples of poor build quality). Constantly chasing them down just became more trouble than it was worth.

All those cares are considered Testarossa. The successor of the Testarossa line was the Ferrari 550 Maranello. If you are officially purist there is another Testarossa model Testarossa Spider but only one (1) was made and gifted to Giovanni Agnelli. (source: Ferrari History book)

Mariano Luna la 550 Maranello vera erede della Testarossa? Ma dove l'hai letta e sentita questa...? Dopo la Testarossa l'azienda vide la necessità di proseguire con quella linea che tanto piacque ma non potevano certamente chiamarla nello stesso modo, così oltre a migliorarla esteticamente e nettamente interiormente misero le mani anche sul propulsore che come sai restò ovviamente 12 cilindri ma con più potenza e meno difetti ma sempre con quel tipico sound. Risultato fu che nacque la 512 tr per me vera erede finale della Testarossa e ...per me decisamente una delle Ferrari più belle di tutti i tempi assieme a F40 , GTO, 328 GTS...

I know that Doug dumbs down his content to appeal to non-car enthusiasts, but I'm curious if he, an automotive journalist, is really ignorant enough that he doesn't know about the automatic seatbelt/airbag ordeal of the 80's and early 90's, or if he's never seen single lug nut wheels, or spare tires with a high offset to clear the brakes, which are not uncommon in sports cars with spare tires. I'm not saying he shouldn't point them out as quirks, but he shouldn't pretend that they're the most unusual thing ever when they're actually not that unusual for a sports car of that era.

The Nissan Maxima seatbelt also did that back in the day. I use to and still do think it’s the coolest thing seatbelt wise. They did away with that style belt because people wouldn’t fasten the lap belt part(a separate belt) and just used what you saw, so they would go flying out of the car when the door popped open in a crash.
@madbradmadbrad3 жыл бұрын
many many many cars did, in fact EVERY car had to have some form of passive restraint, and I'm surprised seeing Doug act like he's surprised to see it in this car, even looking like he's never seen it before. Doesn't seem possible. They only exist because when the carmakers were forced to do passive restraint, they did this instead of airbags for cost reasons. Some cars did something different, like mount the entire 3 point belt on the door. Like a regular 3 point belt but you could leave it plugged in and the door swept it out of your way. The reason they stopped doing these motorized shoulder belts has nothing to do with whether people used the lap belt. It was because airbags, which is what the government intended form the beginning, became cheaper.

Spare tire is like that for a reason. The spare is a lot thinner than the main drive tires, so to place the tire at the best possible position closer to the chassis, the weight will be more centered between the tire across from it and the spare tire. This is the reason for the rim protruding outward from the tire.

Whats funny 3 years ago when they were selling for $45,000 to $50,000 in the market, Ferrari chat people didn't think the Testarossa values would go up significantly, mainly due to numbers built (over 7000 made!), and the fact that they require a $20,000 engine out maintenance (assuming nothing else breaks during that time, ie rear diff) every 30,000 miles or every 5 years. That's how often you have to change the timing belt and can only be done with engine removed. People can go buy a more modern Ferrari from the 90s with better built quality and not do a $20,000 maintenance work. The engine also seats on top of the gearbox giving a high CG, not good for high speed stability in a corner. Also the chassis is weak enough that when you lift the rear on one side to change a flat tire the rear glass cracks from the chassis flexing! Just look at how many are on eBay right now. Everyone is trying to dump them before prices fall again. I doubt many if any are selling for anywhere near $160K. Follow the bids on eBay and with reserve not made most end at 100-110K which is what they were selling for before economy crashed.... The only note worthy 12 cylinder older Ferraries that would be a good investment is the 550 and the 570 maranello imo. Front engined 12 cylinder just like the original ones before they start doing rear engine cars...

Agree 100%. I actually had a chance to seat in a couple of Testorossas, and man, what a POS of a car it is. Very poor quality interior. Almost looks like it was reupholstered in a hood or something like that. Plasticky-rubberry center console that is all melted and sticky, the shifter that feels like a stick in a dump bucket and yes - the "engine out maintenance" is a cherry on top of all that. To buy only to sell it to some idiot, but to spend even 45-50k on one, id much rather have NSX.

No. It is a V-12. Yes, it has a 180 degree V. But, the crankshaft and firing order dictate that it is still a V12 fundamentally.

Technically speaking it's a 180° V12, so Doug is correct. Yes, it could be described as a flat engine, but it's not a boxer, which is what 'flat' would usually refer to. The Testarossa didn't have a boxer, and neither did its "Berlinetta Boxer" predecessors, despite the name. The difference is that in a boxer, opposing pistons move up and down at the same time, as if they were trying to punch each other (hence the name). In a V12, one moves up, and the opposing one moves down.
