This Ultra-low mileage 1988 Ferrari Testarossa is a US-market example of the famed first generation Pininfarina
design finished in Bianco (White) over Rosso (Red) leather. Much less common than the garden variety red, the white
Testarossa was immortalized in the Miami Vice series. This three owner example shows a sparingly used 8500 miles.
The 4.9 liter 48-Valve “Redhead” Flat 12 still purrs like new. Gear changes are facilitated via the original 5
speed transmission and gated shifter.
Ownership history and mileage are documented by the clean Car-Fax. The car was purchased new in Chicago Illinois
in August of 1988, and sold to the second owner in 2001 with only 4165 miles. The third owner, living in Florida
purchased the car with just over 5K miles and performed the Spyder modification.
One of the most recognizable cars in the world, this Testarossa stands out in a crowd and is guaranteed to garner
more attention than almost any other vehicle on the road today. The Spyder modification makes this car unique, and
is very well executed.
The current owner, an avid automobile collector, purchased the car in 2012 and has only put on a few hundred miles.
Stored in a climate controlled garage, the Bianco paint shows very well. The custom wheels, grill and LED lighting
help to give the car a more modern look.
A lifetime of covered garage storage has treated the finish well, with only a few minor blemishes. The car has
never been in an accident as evidenced by the clean Carfax. The previous owner claimed that the timing belts were
replaced in 2010, but no documentation was provided. No other service records outside of the carfax are available.
This car does not currently have a convertible or removable hardtop. A removable hardtop could be fabricated at a
reasonable cost, and with the value of Ferrari Testarossas continuing to climb, a return to a coupe configuration
is always possible.

Scuderia Ferrari displaces relatives of missing passengers at Malaysian hotel

Sun, 23 Mar 2014

The action and glamor of a Formula One race coming to town is usually more than enough to shine an international spotlight on a host country, but Malaysia has made headlines recently for another reason entirely. That, of course, would be the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight 370. But with the two events coming together, something's going to have to give, and unfortunately in this case, it's the grieving families of the flight's passengers.
The clash came to a head when the Scuderia Ferrari came to town to set up for next weekend's race. Team members were booked to stay at the Cyberview Hotel in the capital of Kuala Lumpur, arrangements which F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone points out were likely to have been made long ago. The trouble is that over a dozen relatives of MH370 passengers who had come in from China were still staying at that hotel while awaiting word on their loved ones' fates, and with the hotel apparently filling up fast ahead of the grand prix weekend, those family members were forced to leave.
Just where they've gone, we don't know, but while the development may not look good for Ferrari or for F1, it strikes us as one of those unfortunate situations where no one is really to blame. The race has been booked for months, the team likely made their reservations long before the flight went missing, the hotel is obliged to honor the reservations and the grieving families need somewhere to stay. The tendency to point fingers often prevails, but in this situation we're afraid no one is to blame but the circumstances. That, and the still as-yet unknown cause of the flight's mysterious disappearance.

2015 Ferrari 458 Italia to go turbo?

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Forced induction has definitely hit trend status when it comes to performance cars. Whether it's the supercharged Hellcat V8 in the Dodge Challenger SRT, the latest twin-turbocharged M3/M4 or even the entry-level speed of the Ford Fiesta ST, if you want the fastest car in any given segment, in all likelihood it has a turbo or supercharger. Even Ferrari hasn't avoided the bandwagon with the latest iteration of the California that replaces the original 4.3-liter V8 with a 3.9-liter turbo V8 offering 552 horsepower for more power and better fuel economy. If recent rumors prove true, it might not be the only Prancing Horse to use this engine for long.
According to Car in the UK, Ferrari is planning to boost the 3.9-liter V8 up to around 670 hp and place it in a refreshed 458 Italia in 2015. If true, that is an astounding increase over the version from the latest California and a roughly 70-hp improvement over the current 458 Speciale.
The extra power would come with a serious challenge of how to maintain the 458's delicious exhaust note. Turbocharged engines are often quieter than their naturally aspirated counterparts, modern Formula One cars serving as a prime example. The California may get a pass because it's more of a GT, but the 458 is the brand's bread-and-butter sports car. It needs to sound like a proper Ferrari V8. However, Car claims Maranello is a step ahead and has a complicated exhaust layout - as is the case with the California T, we might add - ready to keep much of the characteristic yelp in tact.

Chris Harris enjoys the song of a Ferrari 212

Fri, May 8 2015

We often see Chris Harris sliding around in the modern elite of supercars, but he eschews every bit of the cutting edge in his latest clip for the opportunity to get behind the wheel of an absolute classic. Harris drives a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta with a body by Touring, and the Italian hills come alive with the sound of this little car's beautiful music. The V12 engine that's nestled under the Barchetta's hood might be short on displacement, but this thing can absolutely roar. It thunders down the road under hard acceleration and then makes a symphony of pops and snaps as the driver downshifts into a corner. You can own this Ferrari, too. RM Auctions is selling it, but the reserve is somewhere between 5 million and 7 million euros ($5.6 million - $7.9 million). Given Harris' proclivity to slide just about anything he drives, do you think he drifts this Barchetta? Watch the video to find out, and it's probably worth turning up the speakers, too.
