Description Rivaling Lamborghini’s Countach for presence, the Pininfarina-designed Testarossa succeeded brilliantly. Its side gill slats, which fed air to its side-mounted radiators, instantly became one of the modern era’s most recognizable styling devices. A larger car than the 512BB – the increase in width being necessary to accommodate wider tires – the Testarossa managed the trick of combining high downforce with a low co-efficient of drag, its body design being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and other devices. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel and plentiful leather. Detail improvements were made regularly throughout the Testarossa’s seven-year production run, one of the first being the adoption of dual door mirrors. One of the most recognizable and iconic models from the Italian company, the Testarossa would grace many young car enthusiasts’ bedroom walls in poster form during the late 1980s. Finished at the Maranello Ferrari works in October of 1989, the penultimate but one year of Testarossa production, this low-mileage example is finished in a classic Ferrari Rosso red, with a complementary black interior. Today, with just over 12,000 miles on the odometer, this example of Ferrari’s iconic supercar is in very good order. The interior shows extremely well, with only minor signs of use. The console and dash areas are clean. The exterior paint is detailed, and the black trim and rubber parts show very well. The compartments (engine and front trunk) are clean and original and the classic five-spoke star alloy wheels present beautifully. A better-kept, low mileage example will be hard to find anywhere; this surely represents the best way to purchase a landmark 1980s supercar of this calibre. Interested parties should note that VAT has not been paid on this car and will be applicable at the buyer’s local rate.
