In 1987, just over 1,000 Ferrari Testarossas left the Italian plant. Less than 30% of those racy models made were intended for US sale. This exquisite, low-mile example represents one of those 315. Finished in the iconic Ferrari Rosso Corsa red shade, this camel-interior car embodies styling that remains ahead of its time. However, it is what’s behind those fine-grain leather seats that has always made the finned Testarossas so in demand. With less than 18,000 miles, this 5-speed 12 cylinder, 48 valve engine produces top speeds from the assembly line exceeding 180 miles per hour. This Pininfarina-designed coach (#2FFSG17A6H0072441) has always been professionally maintained and serviced by trusted Ferrari mechanics. The mid-engine car is dressed in its original 16” factory wheels, which make it a joy to drive, along with the state of the art double-wishbone suspension. Over 25 years later, the early Testarossa remains one of Ferrari’s most coveted editions, thanks to its heralded design, and phenomenal power.
