The Ferrari Testarossa: who doesn’t know this legendary icon? This example is in a beautiful and very well-maintained condition. Recently (2021), at a mileage of 55,934 kilometres, a major service was carried out in which the timing belt was replaced and new tyres fitted (total amount over € 9,000). The car was also recently partly repainted, which shows off its beautiful deep black solid colour to fantastic effect.
This example was delivered new on 1 October 1990 by Ferrari dealer Pozzi Charles in Paris, France. The original sticker from this dealer is still present on the rear window. The warranty and service booklet is still present and fully completed. Numerous maintenance invoices are also present. Other official dealers who have stamped the booklet are Cavallari in Monaco and Gauduel Sport in Lyon, where the last owner had the car serviced from 2006. We were able to acquire the Ferrari from this last owner in Lyon. What stands out is the beautiful finish in black paintwork and a black interior. Underneath the car are original 16-inch rims with newly fitted Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. The Ferrari tool kit is still present, as is the original service and instruction booklet and leather folder. The interior and engine compartment also show how carefully the car has been handled. The interior is damage-free and the engine compartment is dry. It is equipped with an alarm system. The seams of the car fit together nicely.

The Testarossa is not just any car: it is a cultural icon. This is partly because a white example featured prominently in the popular TV show Miami Vice, where it became a symbol of luxury, power and style. It is no wonder then that the Testarossa was such a coveted car among the rich and famous. In recent years, the Testarossa has become increasingly desirable, including among investors. This example in particular, with chassis number #86621, is an interesting investment thanks to its low mileage, rare colour and clean condition.

Below is general information about the Ferrari Testarossa.
The Ferrari Testarossa is a legendary sports car produced between 1984 and 1996. The 4.9-litre V12 mid-engine with 391 hp provides – especially at the time – impressive performance: a top speed of 285 km/h and an acceleration rate of 5.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. The unique and spectacular design, with its distinctive folding headlights, wide and low shapes and distinctive air vents comes from Pininfarina. The driving characteristics with the 5-speed manual transmission are, in a word, fantastic and explosive. The word Testarossa means ‘red head’, referring to the engine cowl painted red. This word originated in Ferrari’s racing history. The Ferrari Testarossa is not only a sports car, but also a GT. Because Ferrari wanted to cater to the older target group, comfort was a high priority. The Testarossa therefore features central door locking, electric windows and well-functioning air conditioning and is suitable for longer journeys.
