Vehicle Description
The Pininfarina-penned Testarossa improved on the basic mid-engine formula of Ferrari’s Berlinetta Boxer thanks to more horsepower propelling the flat 12-cylinder coupe to a 180-mph top speed. Derived from the Boxer, the 4,942-cc horizontally opposed 12-cylinder engine featured two banks of six horizontally-opposed cylinders and 48 valves. Bosch's latest K-Jetronic fuel injection improved power and drivability; with 380 horsepower on tap, the Testarossa was capable of sprinting to 60-mph in 5.3 seconds. Launched at the 1984 Paris show, the Testarossa was aimed directly at the American market. It was so much better as a road car and more aggressively styled than the preceding Berlinetta Boxer that a remarkable 7,177 Testarossas were built between 1984 and 1991, making it the most successful Ferrari to that date.
The celebrated mid-engine platform also features a five-speed manual gearbox, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and power four-wheel vented disc brakes. With an all-business cockpit, this Red with Tan interior example comes complete bucket seating, tilt steering column, rear window defogger, power windows, Ferrari logo floor mats, air conditioning. This is all laid out with superb driver-oriented ergonomics in mind.. A factory toolkit is secured in the front compartment of the Ferrari; its owner’s manual and warranty/service book are also onboard.
