Ferrari Testarossa specs

Technically a 180-degree V12, it is marketed even today by Ferrari enthusiasts as a boxer-12. A 180-degree engine is a flat-plane version of a 90-degree engine. This is actually the closest thing to a 90-degree V12 that’s ever hit production. Otherwise we would have seen the Ford GT90 and even that 9.8-liter Falconer-powered Avanti flagship halo sedan roll out.

Ferrari’s “boxer”-12 engine (as marketed) shares more in common with a V12 than Porsche and Subaru’s boxer-6 engines do with a V6. Porsche’s boxer-12, however, is not a V12-derived engine. (I try not to use boxer and flat interchangeably, but truth be told, a flat engine is a subset of a boxer engine. Only Porsche makes flat engines, though.)

OK kids. This is what cars used to sound like...

@fastestlaps Please change picture to this. The current one is an insult to such a great looking car.

I even saw a convertible yesterday in Pasadena, CA!

Several times I have convinced Wikipedia that the Testarossa was the SF90's indirect predecessor because of the same mid-engine layout and flagship status and series production philosophy. The Wiki mods refused to listen to me. I guess Porsche paid them to revert logic.

Very interesting article about a little tuner from Germany in the 1980s. Did you know they built a 1000 HP, 236 MPH Testarossa?

@Shaggy, Max Power
I totally agree with both of you.

Also the Testarossa is one of the best known Ferraris of all time.

@ Max Power: Again, I totally agree with you, the Testarossa is an excellent car, I saw either a black one of these or a 512 TR in Annapolis Maryland once, I was riding with my Grandpa in his 1997 Mazda Protégé when it passed us, it blew my mind, that was the first Ferrari I ever saw in the flesh.

I love this car! It's a timeless classic, with very good performance stats, even by today's standards. Long live the "Redhead"!

Howcome my Testarosa convertible always tops out at 293 km/h in the classic Sega arcade game "Outrun"?

The "Red Head" was the first Ferrari I ever saw and it's still one of my favorites. Just has a real slick and racy yet old school look to it.

This are the numbers from the link Thiago_Lins posted:

0-100 5.6
0-160 11.6
0-200 18.8
Top Speed 297 km/h
0-400m 13.4 (1/4mile 13.5?)

Also, power is 390ps(385hp) and as the times alredy here are slower, I think that 5.3 is 0-60 not 0-62, from where it comes?

512TR is a whole different car.
