Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa at the 1984 Paris Motor Show
marking the end of production of the Boxer. the car that had been
the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years.
Styled by Pininfarina. the Testarossa paid homage to the great 50 s
sports racer that originally bore the name. simply translating as
'Red Head' the rocker covers being painted red. The mid-engine. br/>rear wheel drive configuration allowed the center of gravity to be
positioned in the middle of the car. with a weight distribution
ratio of 40% front and 60% rear. thus achieving excellent cornering
and road holding ability. The Testarossa was produced with 16''
five-spoke 'Star' alloy wheels and disc brakes fitted all round with 309 mm discs at the front and 310 mm discs at the rear. The
Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor six inches wider
and some 2½ inches longer which allowed more leg room. In addition. br/>the temperature inside the cockpit was reduced as twin radiators
were mounted in the rear unlike the Boxer. where the single front
mounted radiator had plumbing from the bonnet to the engine behind
the seats. which made the cabin very hot. especially on a warm day.
The distinctive side vents were as useful as they were visually
striking. allowing excellent engine ventilation. whilst
contributing to the car's unique styling.
This truly excellent 1988 Ferrari Testarossa was imported from
Japan in 1998 and has been in two private collections since. the
current vendor having purchased the car in 2012. Whilst in his
ownership. it has been maintained by well-known Ferrari specialists
based in Berkshire who have undertaken the most recent work to the
car a cam belt service and Mo T test. in May 2015. This Ferrari
Testarossa is finished in 'Nero Metallico' with black leather
interior and is supplied with a V 5 C registration document. Mo T test
certificate valid until May 2016 and some recent invoices. Ferraris
from this period have become very collectable with superb examples
such as this one are becoming harder to find making them a great
investment as they will continue to increase in value.
