Collector Profile: Eighties design icon
The Testarossa combines a mid-mounted twelve-cylinder engine with one of Pininfarina’s most recognisable silhouettes. Its broad rear track, long side strakes and gated manual gearbox define a distinctive chapter in Ferrari’s road-car history.
Introduced at the 1984 Paris Motor Show, the Testarossa replaced the 512 BBi. Early cars used a single high-mounted exterior mirror; later production adopted paired lower mirrors. Centre-lock and five-bolt wheels also distinguish different production periods.
Establish the correct mirror, wheel and trim specification for the production date. Review timing-belt work, cooling-system condition and drivetrain maintenance with a specialist rather than treating a low odometer reading as evidence of readiness.
An early Monospecchio and a later five-bolt car offer different collecting perspectives. Original configuration and a coherent history should guide the brief before colour or mileage alone.
