A bold statement in every respect, rom its name recalling Modena’s all-conquering sports racers of the late 1950s to its Pininfarina styling replete with swooping strakes along it flanks channeling airflow into massive radiators at the rear, he Testarossa was an instant icon. Then again, nly a statement like the Testarossa could succeed the Berlinetta Boxer, nother Pininfarina design introduced in 1973.

In addition to its muscular bodywork that declared its purity of purpose, errari’s new supercar earned praise for its remarkable drivability and passenger comfort. In fact, n a recent classic-car buyer’s guide, he UK’s Octane editors aptly described the Testarossa as “a remarkably user-friendly supercar,” one capable of “mighty performance delivered in a smooth manner by a sweet and free-revving flat-12.”

While demanding few compromises from its occupants, he Testarossa continues to deliver blistering performance – even by today’s standards – with acceleration from rest to 60 mph in just over 5.0 seconds, he ¼-mile in 12.9 seconds, nd top speeds approaching 180 mph. In fact, he Testarossa was the world’s fastest production car throughout its 11-year production run ending in 1995.

The Testarossa’s handling was equally brilliant, ith skidpad performance of 0.90 G. Based upon a race-bred and rigid tubular frame with fully independent suspension including front and rear anti-roll bars, he Testarossa’s underpinnings included precise rack-and-pinion steering and large four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. Blessed with truly great road feel and Ferrari’s classic gated shift lever controlling the 5-speed manual gearbox, he Testarossa seamlessly blends the classic and modern Ferrari generations and continues to deliver an exceptional drive today. The 512 TR debuted in 1991 and heralded a power increase to 428 horsepower at 6,750 engine revolutions with comprehensive updates to the engine, riveline, rakes, ngine mounting, ires, nd interior to match. Pininfarina also contributed body updates that better integrated the spoilers and engine cover, long with other body updates providing more of a familial resemblance to the design of Ferrari’s contemporary V-8 348.
