Ferrari’s brand-new Testarossa, the star of the 1984 Paris Motor Show, shocked the world at its premiere. The Testarossa rivaled Lamborghini’s Countach in terms of both style and performance, and it became the posterchild for a generation. It was a dramatic departure from the 512 BBi that preceded it, as its styling was angular and aggressive, yet its design was just as functional as it was attractive, helping the new machine to become a world-beating supercar.

Of course, the Testarossa not only offered a step forward in terms of styling, but Ferrari’s new supercar also improved on all aspects of the outgoing Berlinetta Boxer models. The engine produced 40 more horsepower than that of the 512 BBi, helping the Testarossa accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 5.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 180 mph. Its dramatic “cheese grater” side strakes that ran along the side of the car helped to channel air into the dual rear-mounted radiators, which kept both the engine and cabin from overheating.

Ferrari’s engineers also took the time to upgrade the interior of the Testarossa to make it more spacious and comfortable over the outgoing model. The car’s overall width grew by nearly half a foot, and the wheelbase was lengthened by 2.5 inches, giving the Testarossa a more menacing stance on the road and also providing more space for its occupants and their luggage.

The car offered here is finished in its original and rare color combination of Blue Chiaro Metallic over Cream leather and shows just over 2,025 original miles. It is believed to have been originally delivered through Ferrari of Houston, and it remained with its original owner in the Houston area until recently. The car is accompanied by books, tools, and a clean CARFAX report. Its current owner has also submitted the car to Ferrari Classiche for certification.

The Testarossa is among the most iconic and collectible of modern Ferraris. Here is the chance to acquire a low-mileage example in exceptionally attractive original colors.
