Testarossa (1984 to 1991)

The Ferrari Testarossa was produced from 1984 to 1991 and is one of the most instantly recognisable supercars of the 1980s, defined by its dramatic wide body, side strakes, and rear-mounted radiators. Powered by a 4.9-litre naturally aspirated flat-12 producing 390 hp, the Testarossa drove the rear wheels through a 5-speed gated manual, offering true supercar performance paired with long-distance GT usability. Ferrari built approximately 7,177 examples, making it a relatively high-production Ferrari for its era and laying the groundwork for the later 512 TR and F512 M. In the Australian market, the Testarossa holds strong cultural and collector appeal as an icon of the 1980s, with values heavily influenced by condition, originality, service history (particularly timing belts), and the rarity of well-sorted right-hand-drive cars.
