The New Ferrari Testarossa

As a Ferrari lover, that is an insult to the original
Would, of course. But it’s not fitting of the namesake.
More like a softened FXX

They should have found a way to mimic this on the doors and have some tail lights that look like the old ones.
Concept art people made is way better
Another irrelevant Ferrari that will be bought for too much money, never driven, and be stashed away as an investment. By the time an owner who is inclined to drive the damn thing gets a hold of it, it will need over $100K in service to be performed.
Ferrari as an automobile manufacturer is pointless and stupid. They might as well just sell branded merchandise and stop pretending they make cars that are actually used or driven.
I give it and all the other Eurotrash hypercars a solid F- for being poser nonsense that isn’t actually made to be used.

I like when they file lawsuits on people for modifying their own cars
I have a buddy with a 360 be bought new. 20 years old, so far its cost him $30k in maintenance and he's driven it 9100 miles. Insurance is agreed value and purchased for only the weeks its driven.
My 2019 Shelby GT350 has better performance and sounds as good if not better and its worth as much as I paid for it 5 years ago. Still has 5 years of warranty and has 9400 miles on it.
Yeah, Ford isn't Ferrari but my oil changes are $200 bucks not $2000. I enjoy his car but the Ferrari misery is just too much.

All I know is I had slot cars as a kid that looked like the old school Testarosa and they kicked ass.
The highlight of our European trip November 2022 was a visit to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello. Amazing machines and truly works of art. They have always been for the wealthy and the only real reason for the car factory's existence is to fund the Formula 1 team. That new Testarossa is drop dead gorgeous...........
Never was a huge fan of the “Straked” Ferrari. I liked the traditional designs…
And the front engined cars were always gorgeous! Daytona… 550… F12.
But the 365 and BB512… those were the cars I liked better than the Testarossa.
Though it was an ‘80’s icon! Just ask Crockett or the other one!!

Not quite to my taste. I suppose I'll have to continue not buying a new Ferrari.
Side note, the 355 GTS is one of my top favorite cars. Pre-pandemic I could have bought a coupe for about $80k, and afforded it. Post-pandemic they're closer to $200k and now I can't afford it. Note to self: buy when you can.

Looks more like a 288 or a 308.
Something I have also found with Ferrari is the pics never do them justice as how they look in person.

When I was 18 and going to automotive and diesel school I got the chance to work on one. I worked part time while going to school at a wrecking yard. It was a good learning experience pulling apart cars, even wrecked ones. Anyways...the owners friend pulled up to meet for lunch and his Testarossa was puking coolant. The radiator split which is behind those side vents on the passenger side. I was asked to come pull it out so they could get it repaired if possible. I have an old picture somewhere of me in front of that car with coolant all over the street. Pulling it wasn't too bad, but I would never own one after working on it.
Those cars were terribly built from what I could see. Poorly made "race cars" not really designed for street durability. He had just spent a ton of money pulling the engine to reseal everything. The owner said it was part of the maintenance to pull the motor and reseal at 30k. I have no idea if it was true. I learned early on that Italians are not so great at dependable cars.
Another friends dad is a commercial pilot and single, so he bought and restored a couple of older 60's Ferraris. Both V12 cars. I can't remember the models, but those were more daily driver type cars. He used to take them to the Pebble Beach thing in central CA every year. Still not reliable cars, but the build quality seemed a little better. I enjoyed driving them the few chances I was provided.

Looks pretty nice but thank goodness there was no ferrari dealer close to me when i was looking for a whip . I did have a funny experience 25 years ago in a NJ dealership when we were talking a deal the sales guy asked " oh you are going to drive it ?"
