In 1984, Ferrari unveiled its latest twelve-cylinder flagship, the
replacement for the pretty but ageing Berlinetta Boxer series. The
new car's no-apologies body was designed by Pininfarina, an
angular, impossibly low and wide machine that was graced with the
most outrageous set of air intakes anyone had ever seen. If the
styling didn't stir up enough controversy, the choice of a name for
the new car certainly did: Testarossa - a name steeped in
motorsport history- was given to a car that had no intentions of
ever seeing a racetrack. But in typical Ferrari style, the
controversy was somehow spun to their advantage and the new
Testarossa became a commercial success, selling in strong numbers
while also gracing the bedroom walls of countless car-crazy kids
around the globe.
Although the Testarossa appeared dramatically different from the
outgoing Boxer, it was not a 100% new car; rather, it was a heavily
evolved version of its predecessor. The Testarossa still carried a
4.9 liter flat-12 mounted amidships in the chassis. But now the
engine wore new alloy four-valve cylinder heads with signature red
cam covers, increased compression and new management to bump the
power up to 390hp.
The chassis was lengthened, widened and tuned to produce excellent
ride and handling, in turn making the Testarossa much faster than
the Boxer point-to-point. The cabin was roomier and cooler thanks
to the side mounted radiators (Boxers had coolant pipes that ran
through the cabin). Testarossa owners could also carry a reasonable
amount of luggage in the front trunk and behind the seats and stood
a chance at arriving at their far-off destination exhilarated, but
not exhausted and sweaty. Thanks to the mechanical refinement and
the surprising longevity of the styling, the Testarossa enjoyed a
12 year production run over three generations, with just under
10,000 examples built in total. Official status in the US market
also helped to secure the Testarossa's future. The 512BB was never
officially imported, but now, anyone in America with a large enough
bank balance could visit a Ferrari dealership and drive home with a
fully backed and road legal Testarossa.
