Vehicle Description
BEAUTIFUL! This iconic super car is the stuff dreams are made
of.
The Testarossa can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.8
seconds and on to 161 km/h (100 mph) in 11.4 seconds (though Motor
Trend Magazine managed 5.29 seconds to 60 mph and 11.3 seconds,
respectively). It can complete a standing (from stationary) quarter
mile in 13.5 seconds. The top speed of the Testarossa is estimated
at 180 mph.
The design came from Pininfarina. The design team at Pininfarina
consisted of Ian Cameron, Guido Campoli, Diego Ottina and Emanuele
Nicosia. They were led by design chief Leonardo Fioravanti, who
also designed many other contemporary Ferrari models. The design
was originated by Nicosia, but the guidance of Fioravanti was
equally important. Being trained in aerodynamics, Fioravanti
applied his know-how to set the layout of the car. The designers
were originally trying to minimize the necessary side intakes,
which also could not be left open due to American safety
legislation, but then decided on making them a statement of style
instead - one that ended up becoming emblematic of the late
eighties. The aerodynamic drag coefficient was significantly lower
than the Lamborghini Countach.
The Testarossa name pays homage to the famed 1957 World Sportscar
Championship-winning 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car. Testa
Rossa, which literally means red head in Italian, refers to the
red-painted cam covers sported by both cars' 12-cylinder
engines.
