Honoring a timeless masterpiece of automotive design blending speed, beauty, and functionality. As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the #Ferrari Testarossa, we look back at this design icon, first presented on the stage of the Lido Club on the Champs Elysées during the Paris Motor Show in October 1984. The name "Testarossa" returned in glory, identifying the successor to the 512 BBi. For this model, #Pininfarina crafted an innovative and visually impactful design, defined by its bold lateral air intakes and larger dimensions compared to its predecessor, marking a radical shift in Ferrari’s design language. The car’s 180° V12 engine, with four valves per cylinder, made it the most powerful production sports car of its time. The Testarossa holds a special place in Pininfarina's history, particularly for Sergio Pininfarina himself. It was his personal vehicle, symbolizing his deep connection to this remarkable design. For Sergio, the Testarossa was a masterpiece that encapsulated his vision of Italian design excellence and Ferrari’s pursuit of technical perfection. Loved by many, including Gianni Agnelli, the Testarossa remains a timeless masterpiece that, forty years later, continues to influence automotive design.
