Easily one of my favorite Ferrari models of all time, this is the iconic 1990 Ferrari Testarossa (Type F110), serial number 83958! This particular example is finished in an iconic specification of Bianco over a tan leather interior! The Testarossa went into production in 1984 as the successor model to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer (BB), and with approximately 9,939 total examples produced (including the 512 TR & F512 M), it’s one of Ferrari’s most mass produced models that they’ve ever created. The Testarossa was designed by a collaborative effort from Leonardo Fioravanti, Ian Cameron, Guido Campoli, Emanuele Nicosia, Diego Ottina while working for the Italian coach building and design firm, Pininfarina, and following the end of the Testarossa’s production, two additional model revisions were created, the 512 TR & F512 M. The Testarossa was originally produced by Ferrari, with Pininfarina styling from 1984 until 1991, and the model was shown for the first time ever at the 1984 Paris Motor Show. The Testarossa was available with a rear-mounted, five-speed manual transmission, paired with a 4.9 L Tipo F113 flat-12 engine, and the name itself is a homage to the famed World Sportscar Championship winner 1957 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car. The Testarossa’s aerodynamic drag coefficient of Cd=0.36 was quite low in comparison to the Lamborghini Countach's 0.42 at the time, and ultimately, the model had great reception from the media and consumers. A total of 9,939 examples were produced through 1984–1996 (including the 512 TR & F512 M)!
How many made? Just around 1308 examples were built for the 1990 model year plus around 452 US versions.
