This Pininfaria designed beauty had a five year waiting list when ordered from the factory - and you had to pay up front! Amazingly it still became one of Ferrari's best-selling cars. Another unique feature of the car are the distinctive bodyside "strakes" which are channels that duct cooling air more efficiently to twin radiators on both sides of the engines.

The name "Testarossa" is the Italian word for "redhead." Cleverly Ferrari also fitted the engine with red colored heads.
