Ferrari Testarossa

Red-headed sports car

The Ferrari Testarossa is an Italian sports car produced from 1984 to 1996, iconic for its angular design and distinctive side strakes.

The name means "redhead" in Italian, referring to the red-painted cam covers on its flat-12 engine.

The Testarossa became a symbol of 1980s excess, appearing prominently in *Miami Vice* and on countless bedroom posters: He drove a white Testarossa like he was Crockett.
