Vehicle Description
Ferrari's Testa Rossa was first made famous as a hugely successful
racing car in the 1950s and early 1960s. Ferrari introduced an
entirely different automobile, spelled Testarossa, at the Paris
Salon in the autumn of 1984 as a high performance grand touring car
and successor to the 512BBi.
The Testarossa employs a mid-engine 4.0-litre, flat-12, the flat-12
'boxer' engine gained four valves per cylinder for increased
efficiency and performance. The Testarossa is also distinctive for
its side-mounted radiators-which had become common racing
practice-covered by the car's iconic horizontal side strakes.
