Ah, the Ferrari Testarossa, a car that not only broke the bank but also the speed record with a VW GTI on its heels. I guess the only thing faster than a Testarossa in the ’80s was the hype surrounding it. It was like Ferrari’s own ‘Miami Vice’ episode, complete with its iconic red ‘head’ and those side louvers, a design borrowed from the Mondial, which must have made the engineers feel like a copycat. Now, with a 0-60 mph time that’s on par with a Golf GTI, it’s a real head-turner in the world of ‘retro chic.’ I mean, who needs cutting-edge performance when you can have a ‘flat-twelve’ that’s a blast from the past? Ferrari’s decision to go crossover is predictable, but at least they’re not afraid to leave some of these experiments in the past, like the Testarossa, which is now just a relic of the bygone era of automotive excess.
