When driving behind a Testarossa you notice how wide and seemingly flat the car looks. When my brother, a friend and I were on a trip to Palm Springs California we came up next to a burgundy metallic Testarossa which was one of most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen.

[@johnkay6197]

I went to grade school with a girl who's dad had one. I loved seeing that car in the pick up line. I'll never forget the sound it made.

[@Kidsinamerica]

Having driven one for over 1,000 miles, I can honestly say it was, and IS one of the most comfortable cars to drive long-distance. I drove one from Pennsylvania to South Carolina, and loved every mile. The seats are very comfortable and broad, the cabin is spacious, the clutch was good, gearing was easy....everything was comfortable and the car was fast-enough to really have FUN with it. The visibility was terrific, the A/C worked well....if I had the money, I'd have TWO of them.

[@peter455sd]

[@ct1762]

[@PrinceDavid]

That flat 12 engine is so awesome

[@HollywoodF1]

This is the configuration that sparks the terminology war between 180º-V and Boxer and Flat. It's definitely not a Boxer because opposing sets of pistons have to move in opposite directions on independent crank journals to be a Boxer, as its predecessor, the 512 Berlinetta Boxer was misnamed. This engine has opposing con rods on the same journal on the crank, hence the 180º V name. But people don't like calling a wide open V a V. I don't mind calling a 180º V a Flat engine though.

[@corvettez06usa]

Comparing this car (from 1988) to today's performance is really ignorant. Ever heard of progress? Technology advances. Discoveries are made. You have to appreciate the car from the time it was in being built with the techniques that were known. Like the Mona Lisa. In today's world, using photoshop, you could "hand paint" the same thing digitally, but it wouldn't be "better". Because cars are just utility to most people in the world, it's easy to overlook the art form of engineering and passion that the Ferraris of old (and today) exhibit.

[@LeoM-zt3pl]

Exactly , those that get it don't make absurd comparisons with how fast their dual clutch cow fart sounding v6 turbo bmw is compared to a testarossa

[@JacobPaul-ix7oc]

Then compare it to what was around at the time, like the Buick GNX, and you'd still be unimpressed with the Testarossa for the price you would have paid.

Fun to watch these old MW reviews. That the current Alfa Romeo Giulia base model is faster 0-60 and the 1/4 mile from an engine with 8 less cylinders than the Testarossa says how far automotive engineering has come. And acceleration beasts like the Tesla and Porsche EVs are a whole order above that.

This car sat In Knopf Porsche/Mercedes/Ferrari showroom on Lehigh Street in Allentown for Decades. Still wore the Moterweek license plate. Literally from 1988-2016. It was owned by Garry Knopf the dealership owner. Rumor has it Ferrari offered the car to his dealership to sell after the testing. It was driven occasionally. I would always admire it while waiting for my Porsche 951 oil change. I remember it had like 1600 miles in the early 2000s. On another note, there was also a Porsche 959 sitting next to this car in the showroom. Two iconic 80s super cars. That car was also owned by Mr Knopf.

[@MA-ho5hd]

The Testarossa and the Countach were IT in the 80s. And then came the F40 and 959 that took it to another level. There was something so much more special about exotics back then. When you saw one, it was an awe-inspiring event, even in Southern California. Now, one simply goes to cars and coffee to check out the latest and greatest. Exotics are still awesome and incredible machines,, but for me their mystique has died.

The 6.3 V12 in the F12 is pushing 730hp so pretty much double. Inflation adjusted the Testarossa would run $250,000 so a fair amount less than the F12 ($350,000)

I'm still going to buy one if I ever win the lottery. I was 10 years old in 1988 and Testarossa was the only European sports car that got my attention. This is likely due to it being the most used exotic car in 1980s action tv shows.

+CR2504life He usually enunciates his "t"s in a way that stands out anyway... this is way worse.

[@sbinsdca]

They should have dubbed a real Italian saying the name

[@hayabusa27]

still is the most popular and beloved car in the Ferrari line up, I just love hearing its name Testarossa

[@DolleHengst]

raikkonen2013 I think that would be the F40 and the 250 GTO

[@hayabusa27]

Hard to say, 250 GTO is most expensive for sure. F40, yeah i youre a millionaire

[@DolleHengst]

raikkonen2013 Well yeah, of course the Testarossa is on more people's shortlist because it's way cheaper then the two i mentioned. But given the opportunity to pick one car out of these three, i think hardly anybody would pick the Testarossa. Therefore, the 250 GTO and F40 are more popular in my opinion

[@hayabusa27]

DolleHengst its just preference, the GTO and F40 does not have those distinctive claws on the sides....

[@bliglum]

Boy was he wrong at 6:20.. Saying the Lamborghini Countach lacked the Testarossa's resale potential... WAAAYYY wrong.. You can get a Testarossa these days for 50, 60 grand.. A Countach?? Cheapest one I could find was $315,000!!!!

[@jacquenoir7876]

bliglum You won't buy a Testa Rossa for 60 grand anywhere !!!

[@bliglum]

I've seen one or two that cheap where I live (southeast U.S.) But yes, for a GOOD one, it would be closer to 100K. : )Jacque Noir

[@jacquenoir7876]

bliglum No way !

[@bliglum]

There's a clean looking black one for sale right now in the Dupont registry NY for just 89K. Admittedly, the ones I saw for 50 or 60K probably needed some of that famously expensive Ferrari maintenance!Jacque Noir

[@04dram04]

bliglum Its crazy how much the countach has gone up in value. I remember in 2011 seeing several for only a little over $100k.

[@NorceCodine]

Interesting that a 94 Chevy Caprice cop car with the LT1 engine beats this (except the final speed), comes with 4 wheel ABS, and a trunk space to haul tons of police equipment (or two uncooperative suspects), and it costs 25K. Plus, it drives through center dividers.

About the same performance as my 2004 forester xt. Amazing how times change

[@busman7228]

Forester is junk

[@vwkaferman]

I was as military brat back in 1990 in Sicily. First Ferrari I ever saw was a Testarossa. We were cognizant of the potential for folks in that area being in the Mafia (no joke) so when I saw the car and wanted to take a pic, I asked permission (photographia per favore). I'll never forget that moment.

[@bibox9487]

vwkaferman the mafiosi do not drive ferrari, it would be very stupid for them to drive flashy cars as the police are looking for them

[@mikefish4450]

Where is Sonny and Croket ? Testarossa it means “RED HEAD”

[@Dewey122]

it means ginger

[@Chrispbacon99]

You mean Crockett and Tubbs

[@rodmunch69]

That instrument cluster looks like the one in my Fiero.
