1988 Ferrari Testarossa Review // Driving The Legend

The 1988 Ferrari Testarossa (~$150,000 in the used market) is an icon of 80s culture. From its stylish side strakes to its star appearance in Miami Vice, driving the Testarossa instantly makes you appear about 20 percent cooler. The mid-engine flat 12 makes a strong 385 horsepower and 362 lb ft of torque. And since this is a euro spec with a catless Tubi exhaust, it makes wonderful sounds as you climb the revs. Thomas and James are excited to see what made this car special in its era, and how it stood out from its competitors. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
Huge thanks to Jay for lending us his Testarossa

[@lebojay]

Thank you all so much for your comments and enthusiasm. As the owner of this car, I consider it my responsibility to share it with the world and not keep it hidden away. Thanks to Thomas, James, Greg (behind the scenes), and all of you watching for helping to keep the passion for these cars alive and making sure younger generations get exposed to them, too. Safe driving, everyone. See you out on the road! 🚗

Thanks for allowing us to view this exceptional condition Testarossa. Stunning car.

[@jorymartin2706]

Thank you, Jay, for sharing this beauty with us. This is one of my all-time favorite cars, so I really appreciated watching yours.

[@freedomfirst5420]

Oh, that exhaust is such a beautiful sound, definitely a good modification!

[@maciejdoczyk8196]

You have truly beautiful car man. It's a feast for all of the senses, and it brings me back to my childhood and Miami Vice. I couldn't believe that car like this existed. I don't even dream of having one, but still always aiming in having cars with character and some performance. We all should enjoy every aspect of life, including our driving.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

I remember walking into a random dealership, really small, only had Performance cars for sale. Green Testarossa was sitting right there in the middle of this small showroom. All I could do was stare. These things have an incredible presence!

[@leosu4344]

there should not be a green Ferrari. specially thpse earlier ones.

[@artisan002]

There was this weird boutique exotic car dealership tucked off in an industrial park in Tulsa, OK. They somehow got their hands on an all-original Tucker with only ~50 miles on it. Blew my mind. But I intentionally drove by over and over again while they had a red Testarossa that sold for over $330,000 in 1990.

[@antknee420]

Green eh? Only problem with that is that no Testarossa's left the factory green. You should look up details of your stories before fabricating them! 1 512tr left the factory green .....

[@antknee420]

@@leosu4344 zero Testarossa's came green from the factory.....this guy's making up stories, without fact checking lol

[@MaxSpeedMike]

You guys are hilarious. This was a few years ago. These cars are just cars. People respray, build, modify, come on we all know this. The car was not stock, and the dark green looked great with the wheels he put on it. Not every car needs to be left stock and barely driven

[@Biggspeed]

The subtle loud sniff when describing the car around its night time use. The dramatic pause for the lazy power window. Everything is so well done. Even when you wax lyrical, it's not over the top. Really really good production guys, TY.

[@richardnavratil9661]

You guys are getting some crazy access to these legends, kudos to you! The 2+M subs are well deserved. This Ferrari for me was "the Ferrari." It's def hated by some, but for me that's beauty in its own way and one of the cars that fueled my passion for cars. (edit - I am now 30, so this car was already over a decade old by the time I really knew what cars were)

[@eg1885]

Everyone talks about having a Ferrari poster on their wall as a kid, this was mine. When I think of Ferrari, this is what pops into my head.

[@Elberoth]

512TR is just a facelifted Testarossa. The name was updated to match other F cars: 512 TR (= 5 litre 12 cylinders TestaRossa). Both share the very same Ferrari model designation - Type F110 (Testarossa - F110AB/E, 512TR - F110HB) and both have Testarossa on the head covers. 512TR has just a few nice upgrades - 18 wheels, painted lowers, new front bumber, the engine sits a bit lower thanks to redesigned lower frame, the Bosch K-Jet injection system is gone replaced by a more modern Bosch Motronic 2.7, TR512 has different seats and steering wheel inside etc. But it is still a Testarossa! PS. Testarossa owner and aficionado here.

[@siler7]

That doesn't sound like just a facelifted Testarossa. That's a long list of serious differences.

[@Elberoth]

@@siler7 I can give you many more modern examples where mid-life facelift brought more substantial changes, including engines dropping cylinder count, new transmissions, whole body panels beeing replaced (not just lights & bumpers) etc. Countach has also changed A LOT during the 16 years in production, to the point 25th Anniversary barely reasembles the original periscoppio car. But it is still a Countach. Testarossa changes were nowhere near as extensive.

[@brucescammells2817]

Yes you are right, there is a lot of Ill informed opinion out there. Even the constant talk of the engine's high centre of gravity when actually with the flat 12 configuration and the fact that the transmission is cleverly configured alongside the dry sump makes the overall height and cog lower than a regular V8/12.

[@davidshofer8822]

To see you both acting like teenagers with excitement...I just love it when you guys have a great time with an automotive classic. I am sure on this day, your entire production team didn't know they were working as much as they were enjoying the day. Bravo...hats off...thank you

[@maxlag4518]

"You've end up kicking a Snorlax in the face, it's woken up, and it's angry; that's a Ferrari." Thanks James, Ferrari needs you on there marketing team.

[@nothere572]

Such a pretty car. Not as out there as the Countach but it’s still a beautiful thing.

[@rahulmandala4930]

Oh it’s pretty beautiful nonetheless. As for the Countach, there are two versions of it, the “Prototipo” and the “Periscopica”. The Prototipo is the “out-there, show-off” version. The Periscopica is the subtly classy, yet sexy version of the Countach IMHO. I prefer the Periscopica, because of its subtle nature compared to the Prototipo. The Periscopica shares the same principle of design as that of the Testarossa.

[@user-tb5ns7hc5i]

You don’t realize how deep and large those side louver vents are until you see this car in person. Side Profile wedge photos are ugly, but front and rear are iconic stuff of legend.

[@pihermoso11]

Both countach and testarossa were poster cars, but my only gripe with the testarossas is that I wished it had a door that opened upwards, like a scissor door or moth door, the door opening in a funny way (like all supercars should) is the one advantage the countach has over the testarossa

[@mitchellsteindler]

Original Countach was a very simple, beautiful design.

[@kornkernel2232]

Ferraris are tend to be more subdued, so it fits well and beautiful legendary Ferrari. I love how clean this is and Countach for how wild it is that everybody knows you drive a hypercar.

[@Jmotwa87]

My father had one in the classic red and tan when I was a kid, and I could never get over the coolness and beauty of it. The style still holds up today.

[@afterburn2600]

On new year's day 1999 I got a call from my friend saying I needed to go to his parents' house immediately but didn't tell me why. I was immediately on the road and upon arriving, I discovered a Testarossa in the driveway. What a glorious car.

[@JGreen-le8xx]

I look at that car and immediately am brought back to the 80s with one of the greatest videogames ever with the sound of "Splash Wave" blaring in the stereo speakers.

I remember when these were new, and on the cover of car magazines. The ones to have are the 85'-86' cars as they had the one wing mirror on the A pillar. Mr Ferrari was a big fan of Miami Vice, so he sent them the white one that appears in the show. I remember Top Gear did a review of the Ferrari Testarossa, and the Countach together. Both were owned by Harry Metclaffe. Thanks.

Some trivia bits about Gianni Agnelli and his one-off Testarossa Spider. The man is a legend - the richest man in modern Italian history, he controlled 4.4% of Italy’s total GPD as chairman of Fiat Group. Under his stewardship, Fiat Group owned Ferrari at the time, hence his ability to order several unique coachbuilt cars from across the Group’s brands. This included the Testarossa Spider, two Ferrari 365 Ps with McLaren F1-style seating layouts, coachbuilt Fiat 130 wagons and a convertible Lancia Delta Integrale (to name a few). The Testarossa Spider (and some of his other special cars) had another unique feature - a Valeo clutchless manual gearbox. Agnelli had shattered his right leg in an accident in the ‘50s and the clutchless manual made it easier for him to drive his cars. In the Testarossa, you could drive it like a normal manual, but at the press of a button, the clutch could operate automatically as you moved the shifter through its manual gate.

[@elvistwatty]

[@michaelpegasiou4531]

I remember driving one of these in 1990,really loved it and it was easier to drive than I thought it would be.

[@jimmyyoh8144]

I owned a 1989 model, dove it for 20 years till 2009. It has no power steering, really difficult to manuver in tight parking space, the steering colmne is flimsy, brakes is nthe weakest part. It sounds great, engine is bullet proof, transmission works well after warmes up, workmanship is excellent and the price is right for what you pay for.

Found one of these outside a local restaurant and thought it was a 348 kit car at the time, but ohhhh boy was I wrong. So much cooler than I thought.

[@wompa70]

I forgot Crockett had a Testarossa. Maybe because I liked the Daytona Spider so much. Then again, Ferrari threatened to sue the show because the Daytonas used in filming were Corvettes with body kits. So they blew up the Daytona in the show and switched to the white Testarossa. Two of which were given to them by Ferrari.

[@cinthe3]

These just get better and better! Most entertaining car channel!

[@gjpizzo]

Thank you for making this video. As a 40 year old this car was THE Ferrari for everyone born in the early 80s. We had the pictures of this on the wall, along with the countach and F40. I was also one of the extremely lucky kids to have had one in the garage as a teen, as my father did very well for himself and purchased this during his mid-life crisis. Having been allowed to finally drive it when I turned 18, I can say that flat 5L 12 cyl was just pure italian perfection. I am not sure I would say the car was comfortable though. Getting in and out is not easy as you sit about 3 inches off the floor, the car was extremely heavy and with no power steering was near impossible to parallel park, and the brakes were absolutely horrendous. All being said, I would give anything to have that car back in my garage now. Please try and get the new Fioravanti Testarossa resto-mod on here to see if they really did improve the flaws.

Replacing "90's Honda" parts on an NSX is a pretty big deal today. Some parts are becoming hard to find. That said, it would be harder and far more expensive to keep this car on the road than an NSX.

[@Biggspeed]

I'm pretty sure but I could be wrong. An engine out service on the NSX wouldn't cost $14k.

[@Nikowalker007]

Only $8-10k for engine out camshaft belt replacement which is mandatory every 10k miles for Testarossas

[@barryrodgers3039]

@@Biggspeed There isn't really any engine out service on an NSX. My comment was the implication in the video that a fender bender in an NSX isn't a big deal because 90's Honda parts. It would be a big deal.

[@lebojay]

@@Nikowalker007 The “cam belt service” includes much, much more than just cam belts. The $14k bill I got for the engine-out service was several pages long and includes lots of new hoses, gaskets, thermostats ($1000!), spark plugs and wires (another $1000!), repainting the cam covers ($500), etc. etc. Expensive by any standard, yes, but you can see why I call it a “major service” and not a cam belt service. These cars are driven so little, the service intervals are usually spoken about in terms of years rather than miles. A major service every 5 years is more than enough, so budget about $3k/yr. Not so bad for a 12 cylinder Ferrari, I don’t think. Thanks for your interest in the car, guys. Always fun to share with like-minded car nuts. Would you guys want to watch a video where I go through the whole bill and show you why it costs so much? I considered doing that but wasn’t sure anyone would watch.

Jay, What a wonderful review! Thank you for sharing this, enjoyed it all the way. Thanks again for trusting us to look after your pride and joy. Still some kinks to iron out but we will get there. Happy motoring until we meet again.

[@lebojay]

Glad you enjoyed, Val! Thank YOU for taking such good care of her! Folks, Valentin is the guy who transformed this car over a period of several weeks. If you have any kind of exotica, I highly recommend him. Find him at Pfaff Tuning north of Toronto. I often find him up to his elbows in F40s, XJ220s, Paganis, etc, and he was able to rectify MANY mistakes made by the previous “experts” who performed the last major service. After the experience of having Val looking after my car and keeping me completely informed every step of the way, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. He’s a top tech, and a top all-around guy. At the very least, don’t get a major done on your Ferrari until you talk to Val so he can educate you on the difference between a quick-and-dirty service and a proper one. “Recent major service” can mean a lot of things - Val knows the difference and can help you understand and make an informed decision. When you understand all that’s involved, you understand that $14k (Canadian dollars) including parts represents good value for money; those charging less are doing less, and doing less on these cars is ultimately a false economy. This car’s previous owner spent $6k 14 months ago on a “full cam belt service” at a respected exotic specialist, and there was virtually nothing that didn’t need redoing properly. Having a guy like Val in your corner makes a huge difference. Thanks to him and Pfaff Tuning for helping me give this car the respect and treatment it deserves.

[@redtesta]

Very connected to the road. Exhaust and upgrade the rims and tires to some 18" and a few other tricks and its amazing. I have an upgraded sound system and usually don't play it because nothing is like that sound. Of all my cars in my stable, the TR gets the most looks and comments. Best purchase i have ever made. The upgraded version of the Testarossa my fit you perfectly even more. The 512TR had updated interior more modern, its hp was increased to 422hp and it came with 18" rims and low profile tires stock. The 1988 you have has the upgraded cooling and A/C along with the 5 lug rims which is huge over the single center spinner that was on the 1987 and prior. Rims and tire upgrade alone on mine was huge. OH, get a MOMO steering wheel, made a nice difference and remember the steering column is adjustable , lower left of the column (up and down motion only) Services vary. Anywhere from 4500 to 20k (for the big 20k service). Some things you want to service while engine is out otherwise you pay again for the R&R all over down the line.

Yeah, you can keep your boring EV’s. I’ll gladly be slower in the Testarossa any day. That car sounds glorious going through the rev-range. ❤️

i think this video has awakened my love for the testarossa. such a cool car. i love the 80s vibes it gives off. the sound is great. the rear end looks amazing. love it.

Brilliant episode 👏 Absolutely loved 😍 the Ferrari Testarossa!, and the Miami Vice theme, u dude's are awesome...

[@lukeslater3469]

I LOVE the look of the Testarossa🤔😎👌🏻. Especially the SOUND. Sounds like a typical Ferrari V-12 sound.

This car has a presence in person, not so much in photos, although the front and rear views of it are always striking - so low, wide, ominous. 80s all the way.

Great video, great car, amazing content. This is one of the funniest videos you have made guys, I was laughing out loud while you two went inside the car. Thanks!

This was my college dream car! Thank you for featuring such a classic supercar!

I think this has to be the "least complained about" Ferrari on this channel. It may have no apple carplay/Android auto but at least it doesn't take up most of the gauge cluster.

That nose swipe while saying "80's energy" had me rolling! Great review as always gentlemen!

[@usmanahmad673]

Saw one of these at an auto show in red color and a countach at a traffic signal. Absolutely amazing site to see

[@neilsheppard6673]

Another excellent video! Well done guys, many thanks!

Nice review. I have a 1994 512TR and it’s an amazing experience. The old Ferrari cars are definitely more engaging and fun to drive. Modern cars have sacrificed this feeling and are more about just extreme speed with the engagement

[@thegtguy9215]

*without a sense of engagement

[@jimb12312]

Modern cars are designed by clueless people in the marketing department. Eventually we'll get an electric Ferrari that's fully self driving, silent, and goes from 0 to 100 in 0.1 seconds, thereby knocking you out unconscious for the duration of the ride. You might as well go to sleep while the car drives itself.

Shooting silver is for werewolves, not vampires. I would know. I was there, in the 80s, nose white in the full moonlight. Agnelli would appear on the horizon as a silver flash. The great spider preyed on countless foul, rabid beasts, its thick cylinders never satiated until dawn would save us all.

[@FRIEDWINGZ17]

end bit was amazing haha. Loving these videos on cool supercars from a time long past. Keep it up guys.

[@AudreyF2010]

A lot of this vid was spent just listening to the car. Sheer joy! Thank you for this review, especially as I just saw a TB350 where I live, which is a small city, so there was no way it could be missed. Thankfully the black beauty was parked by a store and I could just stare at it for a while. I was also thankful I was wearing a mask to cover the drool...

[@miguelojera2356]

The sound is just intoxicating 🤌
