Ferrari Testarossa parts
The Ferrari Testarossa stormed onto the scene in 1984, replacing the 512 BBi with a dramatic and wide stance. Its Pininfarina-penned bodywork is legendary, defined by the long side strakes that feed air to twin radiators. Power comes from a 4.9L flat-12 engine producing 385 hp, making it one of the fastest cars of its era.
As an icon of 1980s excess and a star of the TV show Miami Vice, the Testarossa's cultural significance is huge. Collectors prize its analog driving experience and its status as one of Ferrari's last flat-12 models. Early single-mirror "monospecchio" cars are particularly sought after for their purity of design.
Buying Tips
- Verify the timing belt service history; it's a costly engine-out job required every 5 years.
- Inspect the differential, as early single-bolt units were a known weak point and often fail.
- Check the fuse box for signs of overheating, a common issue that causes electrical problems.
- Be aware that original metric TRX wheels have very limited and expensive tire choices; many cars have been updated to 16-inch wheels.
