4.4-Liter DOHC Flat 12-Cylinder Engine Bosch K-Jetronic Fuel Injection 380bhp at 6,300rpm 5-Speed Manual Transaxle 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Disc Brakes *Less than 9,200 miles and just one Southern California owner from new *Exceptionally well preserved and original example *Diligently serviced and maintained *Offered with the original owner's manuals and tools To view a YouTube walkaround of this lot please click here THE FERRARI TESTAROSSA Ferrari's flagship model, the Testarossa supercar, revived a famous name from the Italian company's past when it arrived in 1984. A 'next generation' Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa retained its predecessor's amidships-mounted, 5.0-liter, flat-12 engine, which now boasted a maximum power output of 380bhp at 6,300rpm, courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. The new supercar was now capable of reaching a top speed of 180mph. The gill slats fed air to its side-mounted radiators, a setup that became one of the modern era's most instantly recognizable - and copied - styling devices. The new design managed to combine high downforce with a low coefficient of drag with the absence of extraneous spoilers and other such devices. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This highly original Rosso Corsa Testarossa benefits from having had just one Southern California owner since new, while pampered and wept in exceptional condition throughout. The new Testarossa was completed at the Maranello-based Ferrari factory in October of 1990, making it one of the last Testarossas off the line before the introduction of the 512TR model. Destined and equipped for the US-market, the new Ferrari was sold to its sole long-term owner - as Southern California Ferrari enthusiast - in March 1991. According to the original books and manuals on file, Ferrari of Newport Beach was the selling dealer. Today, a clean Carfax report and many DMV records on file consistency records the Testarossa's milage, which remains very low with less than 9,200 recorded at the time of cataloging. The laser straight Rosso Corsa Pininfarina-designed body shows fantastically well, with a deep rich luster which is free from any haze or discoloration. The interior is also in beautiful, original condition, featuring the elegant two-tone Tan and Dark Brown livery. The Ferrari is offered with its original books in leather pouch and tool kit. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully original and well-maintained Testarossa, with less than 9,200 miles recorded at the time of cataloging.
