1989 | Ferrari Testarossa

One of the most iconic designs ever from Ferrari. Beyond its engineering, the Testarossa is probably the poster car of the 1980s appearing in magazines, music videos and television and capturing a global appetite for bold design and flamboyant performance. Its wide stance, slatted sides and dramatic rear end came to define an entire era of supercar aesthetics. Today, that image is a large part of the Testarossa’s charm. It evokes neon nights and coastal highways, the kind of confident ostentation that is now cherished by collectors and enthusiasts.
