Miami Vice: Andy Taylor - When The Rain Comes Down (full scene with setup)

From Miami Vice Season 3, Episode 2: Stone's War
Song starts at 0:44
This episode is special in that it features Sonny's new ride, a 1986 Ferrari Testarossa (my personal favorite) after his previous "Ferrari" (was actually a Corvette with a body kit) was destroyed with a Stinger missile. You know, like typically happens every day 😆. That means this is the first REAL Ferrari Sonny drives on a regular basis. If you're wondering why that is... it's because it took Ferrari 3 years to realize what a hit the show was and since they were already driving a pseudo-Ferrari, the company thought it best to provide them with a real one for promotional reasons. You can guarantee there were cars sold because of that move.
Another fun fact about this scene is it features the song "When The Rain Comes Down" by Andy Taylor, which was recorded exclusively for Miami Vice and was only available on the soundtrack titled "Miami Vice II" which featured a number of songs from the show. You may know Andy Taylor from the hit 80s group Duran Duran. After leaving the group in 1986, he began working on a solo career. This song proceeds his first solo album "Thunder" which released in 1987.
As for why I uploaded this video to my channel... I basically just really like the car and the driving footage but I also noticed a lack of the video with the original scene on KZbin and figured I'd add it. I don't own the rights to the song or video beyond my own personal purchase of the DVD. This video is not made for profit. Just entertainment. Thanks for watching.

When I was a teenager I always recorded MV on Friday evenings so I could watch the episodes over and over. I loved this scene so much I wore both the VCR and the tape out replaying it. The invention of the DVD was a great thing for me - no more destroyed tapes!

[@leekinanus7409]

[@CrimsonLibra_20]

The producers and director sure know how to place a song right where it needs to be. A few seconds after Crockett flicked his lights, his buddy bolted from the ditch witch at the counter, and then, the song and chase begins.😎

That's gotta be the fastest Dodge Diplomat Police Package on the planet,even with its with full 175 hp there's no freakin way it can keep up especially around corners with a Ferrari Testatossa and i speak from experience i drove an '87 Diplomat from ''89 to late '91 on taxi and i drove the crap out of it, there's no way those those torsion bar babies could keep up with a Testarossa lol!!!!

Producers had to keep it somewhat believeable. In reality, the Testarossa would leave that 318 V-8 Diplomat in the dust.

ROFLAMO!!! ahhhh, movie magic where a low powered Dodge Diplomat can keep up with a twelve cylinder Ferrari. No, but seriously, a Testarossa would blow a Dodge Dilplomat into the weeds without even breaking a sweat. This is a TV show, and it makes a better action scene if the chase car is right behind the star car.

Yep. 2nd gen Dodge Diplomat managed to get 160hp out of a 5.2 liter V8 engine, giving it a top speed of 170km/h (105mph), live axle -- but still managed to keep up with a Testarossa. I want one as well. Plus the Testarossa, of course, so I can compare performance myself ;)

[@nickhuynh6321]

the single flying side mirror in the ferrari is interesting...

[@RacerXGTO]

1986 Testarossa. The only year it ever came standard from the factory. The concept behind it was to view everything behind the car as it was raised higher on the A-pillar. On a side note, a few people have mounted dual flying mirrors on their Testarossa and have stated they have a "rare" Ferrari with dual mirrors. Ferrari never released a Testarossa from the factory with dual mirrors, the '86 Testarossa is the one and only year with a single mirror.

[@jordanschooley7836]

It never came with two mirrors because the driver wouldn’t have been able to see anything out of it - it would have been blocked by the a-pillar. Customers just asked dealer to stick one on to make it look symmetrical. I think dealers just flipped the drivers side mirror upside down. Ah, the eighties.

Bit shite that Ferrari, a big lumpy Detroit American thing can keep up with it no problem

[@klausstock8020]

Indeed. While the second generation Dodge Diplomat (1) is "reasonably well powered" (160hp out of a 5.2 liter V8 engine (2), top speed 70km/h or 105mph), it still hass a live axle (rigid rear axle). Now, in the video we see the Testarossa fishtail ("torque steering") at least twice, and the Dodge Diplomat still keeps up without any issues. In real life I'd say that the Testarossa driver can't cope with the torque/power, but since this is a TV series, it could have been that the driver did that vey controlled and very deliberately. To give the viewer the perception of power and speed and going to the limit. Yet, with the Dodge Diplomat keeping up effortlessly (3), this is ruined. (1) Not to be mistaken with the Opel Diplomat, produced some 15 years or so earlier, which already had individual wheel suspension. (2) Yes, to a German, this is also ridiculous. A contemporary Porsche 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine would produce the same power - naturally aspirated. There were also turbo-charged versions available which delivered more than 200hp...but they also had a version, equipped with a pretty mediocre (IMHO) charger which delivered more than 400hp. A Porsche 944 with that 400hp+ would have given the Testarossa quite a bit of trouble - especially since the Testarossa was like 400-500kg heavier. -- But that wouldn't work for the USA, where everyone believes that only a V8 can deliver power (4) (7). (3) It could have been that the Dodge Diplomat (1) had been modified for that segment. A similar thing had had been done in the movie "Bullit" (6). Still, one car crashed during a take (5) - there's only so much you can do with a car which was developed without any cornering ability in mind. (4) Admittedly, some of these US cars have extremely impressive fuel pumps. (5) No, Steve McQueen didn't do the car stunt driving himself - he's only behind the wheel in scenes which show his face in the rear view mirror. (6) Yes, the cars lose more hubcaps than they have. Makes this famous "Bullit" car chase kind of ridiculous as well. (7) Actually, I vaguely remember that some US car company (Callaway?) tried to produce a turbo-charged version as well, but they didn't succeed, until the enlarged the cylinder volume (but not the displacement!), lowering the compression ration from 9.5:1 to 8:1 (8). (8) I think I'm getting a bit off-topic here...need to stop writing before I mention that independent wheel suspension had already been invented in 1894.
