  • speedhunters brought me here

  • It's the only Ferrari in history that looks better white than it does red.

  • The lag on the car as he pulls off is freaking awesome,

  • show brings back a lot memories, 80's sound ,clothes, everything. the remake sucked whats his name sucked as sonny crockett. the original show was a phenom. how could they hope to remake it.now we got the fuckin kardashians whore tv.

  • Why can't they make TV-shows like this anymore?

  • This is like porn to me. I'm so in lust with the Testarossa!

  • .....Its out in the back....legendary

  • I heard the same thing. The cars (both the real one and the stunt car) were painted white so they could be filmed at night. I don't think the car has really passed the test of time. Jermery Clarkson at BBC Top Gear called it "vulgar" with a wood wheeled suspension. Times and taste change.

  • @bell212ify I don't like it anymore because Jermery Clarkson said its vulgar....XD LOL...Whats next, you are gonna like the same food as Jermery Clarkson?

  • that car looks so cheap now.

  • @lestliness i agree. and the best car in the world is still to come, right?

  • @lestliness Its not cheap (money whise) at all, for its age ;)... And it looks, and is from the 80's... so its a classic car...and if you own one, nobody would think of you as cheap if thats bothering you. Because only high class people can afford maintenance on such car ;) Cheap looking car?....rolce royce phantom...everybody rich person has one XD

  • i absolutly hate the way it only has one mirror anyone agree its anoying?

  • Hi, I recall reading somewhere that the show bought a used Pantera, and put a Testarossa body on it to use as a stunt car. The sound your hearing in a Ford 351, which is can be repaired on a TV production budget.

  • @bell212ify The original car was a "Ferrari Daytona" which of course wasn't a Ferrari Daytona, it was a Corvette with a fake body kit. When Ferrari heard that they were going to try and fake the Testarossa too they sent a real one from Maranello. It was worth it, the Testarossa went on to be the top selling Ferrari in the States ever.

  • @ferranerazzi

    Right, and afaik, the Testarossa was originally painted black, like its fake predecessor. The white paint job wasn't even an option at Ferrari's, when they shipped this car.

    Later, they had to offer the white option.

  • @bell212ify - They used a real Testarossa, but for STUNT work it was indeed a DeTomaso Pantera with a Ferrari "kit" on top. There's a Popular Mechanics magazine from the 80's devoted to the subject, you can find it for free on Google Books.

  • would a police department keep a ferrari

  • @TheDEATHSTARIII Probably not, but it would make for a dull series if they ran around in a Chevy Impala.

  • The first series of testarossa had only one mirror...it is known as 'monospecchio'

  • The Testarossa is cool, but the Daytona will always be Sonny's car imo.

  • Where is the right side view mirror?

  • @eightway1 in that time having two mirrors was too luxury. :P

  • little abner........lmao

  • The stunt Testarossas were actually rebodied Detomaso Panteras.

  • How the hell could that FBI car get anywhere that ferrari, Sonny was flooring it and FBI were still on there tail. Thats the diffrence between fantasy and reality.

  • name of the song please?

  • @Dracula1916 "When the rain comes down" by Andy Taylor (ex Duran Duran guitarits) and the sond was recorded exclusively for Miami Vice.

  • @jhonnysoprano72 Thank you very much for putting that here. Watching this just to see what the show is like, as im a huge Edward James Olmos fan. Am also all about AOR, and 80s music and Andy Taylors album 'Thunder [1987]' is a fantastic album. As soon as the track on this vid started I was hooked, and was ready to google it and see what i could find... but you saved me the trouble. So, cheers! Good day to you! =)

  • The testarossa was given by de distrubutor of Ferrari because they didn't like there was a fake Ferrari in such a populair serie

    So the blow the fake daytona and got new real testarossas

    There were 2 testarossas 1 was unbodied for camera positions

    Origional the where black but repainted white for a better look in the night scenes

  • what's the name of the first song?

  • @psfonseka its crocketts theme.

  • is this a real Testarossa? I've heard that the Daytona was a replica on a corvette chassis, so just wondering if this is a real one....

  • @Jeroen4X Yeah it its a real one Ferrari saw the show thought it would be good publicity to give them one. Actually they gave them two, one for stunts I think and the other for show. That's why the Corvette replica was destroyed.

  • Ron jeremy was offered this car just to get head from a guy, but he refused. What a damn shame.... :i

  • i masturbate to this car

  • If i see sometimes a testorossa i think always on miami vice and Don Johnson

  • this was the best series, very flashy and creative! i love you Don Johnson* you are my idol!

  • Doonantubbes u forgot DMC

  • They sold this Testarossa in an auction a year ago in Finland. The police had brought it from Spain from some felon.I remember the bid was €75k. The police didn't know the condition of the car. It looked good, though. It was a -90 model.

  • The Testarossa used for stunts in Vice is actually a De Tomaso Pantera; the car used for close-up work is the real thing, supplied by Ferrari North America repainted white for the series.

  • The only problem I have with this clip is do they honestly expect people to believe a Dodge Diplomat would be any match at all for a Ferrari? The Testarossa would have given the Dodge a spanking like it's never seen

  • The Testarossa was the most beautiful Supercar ever with a Flat-12 Engine. Also I Loved The 959, which one to buy to drive back in the 1980s Supercars like, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus and a Ruf are all the best.

  • Personally i prefer the daytona but i will admit that testarossa did look quite a piece in that car chase

  • I think that Enzo Ferrari gave the series 3 testarossas and they painted them white because they wanted them to be visible in the night scenes.

  • Sometimes I miss the 80s ...

  • Comment removed

  • And of course, the 959, 288 GTO, F40. They're the best cars to have, back in the 80s, and they still are to this today.

  • @TheCenturion1

    You forgot Lambo Countach 25th Anniversary

  • Crockett hasn't even started the engine, it was dubbed in!

  • @ROCKSOLID19 That's what I was thinking too, plus a stock Testarossa isn't that loud. I've been wondering what kind of car they overdubbed it with.

  • @DtRockstar1 I experienced a 512TR and I know it subtle difference between the original Testarossa but the revs when Crockett rev'ed the car it sounded more like an air cooled engine, a Porsche. Maybe im wrong but the sound of the exhaust has a drier sound on a Porsche Flat 6.

  • @ROCKSOLID19 Acutally, I just watched the chase scene between Crockett's Daytona (kit car) and the Countach. The revs heard in this clip sound EXACTLY like the Countach in that chase video. However, I don't think that's what a Countach sounds like either! I wonder if they overdubbed the chase scene too. :) I do agree that Porsches have a drier sound, for sure. I don't think I've heard a Porsche sound that loud though. What do you think?

  • @DtRockstar1 I got 2 air cooled Porsches, a 964 Turbo and a GT2. The GT2 does sound similar to the Testarossa when revved at 5 - 6000rpm. Mind you both cars have after market titanium exhaust systems and the originality is sort of slightly corrupted for the pursuit of modernising them.

  • i love the music...it makes me want to rape a young girl...wat, fuck you 

  • my 928S4 has 350 HP now lol sure is nice!

  • I love the chase music...and the car of course too! :)

  • man those headlights havent aged well

  • the best latino music group in miami mora arriaga

  • That is a sexy bitch! I love 80's whips.

  • The song is "When the Rain Comes Down" by Andy Taylor from Duran Duran fame.

  • Absolutely essential for any type of serious police work. Got that right. LOL

  • @gladiatorfilm The only thing I missed about the Daytona was...

    they couldn't drive the Testarossa with the TOP DOWN! B>)

  • @DrJekyll38 Not to mention, white cars are BLAH! 

  • Ferrari gave them the testarossa after he found out the daytona was a replica.

  • Great intro of the Testarossa into Miami Vice as Crockett's new partner (no offense, Tubbs). After out running and out sliding away from those feds, Sonny should had exclaimed: "Wooo, baby! You are my new plaything! You have come home to Papa!"

  • Frickin' great episode, frickin' great car chase, frickin' DODGE DIPLOMAT (believe it or not, the ones w/ the police pursuit engine and shocks were BRUTALLY QUICK), frickin' 'rossa, frickin' Don Johnson/ Sonny Crockett, frickin' '80's cool looks, frickin' cool '80's music, frickin' boss 1980's, FRICKIN' EVERYTHING MIAMI VICE!!!

  • i ,loved the 80s

  • How come Rockford could outrun him in a Pontiac?

  • God Bless the 80's~!!!

  • Daytona Spyder was way better :(

  • the ferrari kind of looses its appeal when it can hardly outrun a cop car designed using a crayon and a ruler.

  • @highwaymantokyo I drove a cop car for a few years, they got big motors and some serious suspension

  • @flattop44sc that's a good point, most cop cars come with a taxi package suspension and powerful engine under the hood.

  • Sunny: WHAT?? This is the best scene. CRY =)( MIAMI VICE FOR EVER

  • SMOKEN!!! 

  • I was crazy thrilled when Sonny went from the Daytona Spyder to the Testarossa (Sheena Easton's character called it the, "Testaroni." /facepalm).

    I was already a fan of the Testarossa but when Michael Mann decided this will be Sonny's new car, I tuned in every week just to see the car.

    Faved. And thanks for an outstanding upload!

  • why only one mirror ? can someone answer my question ? thank you

  • there was a fake testorossa because they didnt want to ruin paint on the real one and it was also used on stunts

  • Hmm maybe it´s just a slip of memorie. But i belive in my Miami Vice euro box. He says he can´t keep turning up looking like yosomite sam. Anybody else ?

  • I remember this, I watched at thursday, I was happy more than Sonny

  • I never thought the Testarossa would ever look its age.... still it is a 27 year old design though !

  • Oh yeah. Here come the chicks

  • who is little abner?

  • @mengle2004 Little Abner is this old carton caracter, who is a dumb strong pretty boy hill billy. Who lives out in the country in shack

  • Its funny how the bad guys never caught on to the white Testarossa parked at the cop station every day.

  • Testarossa is worthless right now. It's hard to get CHICK with that sissy car if you living modern period and girls will laughing at you like shit.

  • @GreatDespair lol, chicks.

    great despair, indeed.

  • @GreatDespair This car has kinda turned into a douche cliche ride. Almost a dime a dozen on the beach stricps. I'd rather have a Ferrari 360 anyday running straight pipes (no cats).

    Prepare to have an eargasm > /watch?v=DOQFKgvA9AU

  • @GreatDespair thats what you think my friend....

  • Harry Potter is driving the Diplomat, no wonder why its too fast!

  • Cool looking police station at night. Beaut car too, nice red dials :)

  • I like how Castillo breaks the news. Icy

  • testarossa the most beautiful car in history EVER

  • it's out the back... epic

  • nothing can beat a driver with sockless slippers.

  • vice city!!!!!!!!!!!

  • There is a Testarossa listed on ebay UK for only £50k, it's so tempting! :(

  • That car is the fucking bizz

  • war doch toll

  • I remember this Episode it was from 1987 it was from the 3rd season I believe

  • The Testarossa was the same one in the previous ep "When Irish Eyes Are Crying." It belonged to Barrigan, Caroon's crony who Crockett gunned down during the shootout part. I swear it's the same Testarossa. In that ep it was black. Since Crockett killed Barrigan the police got to impound the Testarossa & save it for Sonny since the Daytona was blown up by the rocket launcher.

  • @bucky468 ...thats correct......and thats why Sonny says "New paint...new rubber" when he walks around it for the first time.Miami were way ahead on seizing assets from ill-gotten gains and using same to fight crime !

  • @MercMad113 Maybe it was Miami's gift to Sonny for taking out Caroon & Barrigan both, as a reward. Wow! That's some reward lol.

  • I'm 38 now, the Testarossa, to me, is still the most iconic Ferrari ever, the F40 a close second :)

  • wooow

  • How can you make a Diplomat runs faster? Fuel it with porn magazine, it can go toe to toe with a Ferrari!

  • @jbrian80 Seriously? It's probably because the cars were both driven relatively slowly and the film sped up.

  • 1:16 and 1:18 :)

  • great, shame about the rubbish middle of the road music, it must have helped Ferrari testarossa sales at the time, for sure- cool stuff!

  • ITALIAN CARS BEST EVER!!!!!!

  • Excuse my french but f@@@ing awesome!! Oh MAN....Miami Vice And Don Rule!!!

  • one sweet lookin car had it on a poster in my bedroom for years..guess what..still dont own one....haha..

  • na das nenne ich mal Auto...obwohl mir Autos sowas von egal sind ...die wilden 80er

  • did those fuckers just shoot at a ferrari testarossa? goddamn that is a captial offense already!

  • Pretty fast for a Dodge Diplomat, the most inconspicuos car ever made.

  • @3089280288 dude that's what I'm saying. How the fuck can a Dodge get the best of a Ferrari? I'm a good driver, many years experience but I couldn't keep up with a Testarossa with most cars, not the least a Diplomat.

  • Crockett: " I'm trying to maintain a departmentally approved cover here and if I keep showing up for six figure drug deals looking like Lil Abner, it ain't going to cut it." LOL!!!!

  • The first song in this video is confirmed as "Crockett's Theme" off the Miami Vice soundtrack.

  • The chase song is called "When the rain comes down" performed by Andy Taylor exclusively for the episode. Andy Taylor was in Duran Duran and Power Station.

  • "340 horsepower, 180 miles per hour, new paint, new rubber..."

    "absolutely essential for any time of serious police work, huh?"

    "GOT THAT RIGHT!"

  • 2:21, Hey! He didn't stop!

  • epic show. epic time. epic everything.

  • @Billbill80s Amen brother!

  • Six people like lamborghini better than this masterpiece....

    By far one of the best automobiles ever made

    If you agree thumb up!

  • @driver67full not the best car, but the best looking car ever.

    it was to heavy, and the quality was... italian.

  • I completely agree. The Testarossa was without a doubt Ferrari's most well balanced super car. I also loved the F-40, which is the fastest Ferrari ever produced.

  • ah how i love the 80´s

  • "Absolutely essential for any serious police work, huh?"

    "Got that right!"

  • Was that Bob Balaban???

  • I love this car!!! My favourite car of all time!!!

  • offcourse if ur a cop in miami u can buy ur own brand new ferrari testarossa....

  • Miami Vice is an Old school TV Show, which is not going to be replaced by any stupid rookie actor, such as Colin Farrell and the other guy . DON JOHNSON and PHILLIP THOMAS RULES!!

  • the mouse isn't plugged in to the amiga!

  • That's a real ferrari! Today they build only shit. The Ferrari's of the 80's had style.

  • @golfracer89 Amin to that! Well said

  • @golfracer89 458 Italia will be a classic one day. Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear said so himself, and he's practically the Simon Cowell of super cars. Nevertheless, the Testarossa is a really sexy car, and already is a classic.

  • can somwone tell me the background song at the begining

  • @bluddybastard Crockett's Theme by Jan Hammer

  • one of the best miami vice episode ever

  • Little known fact is that they used a Testarossa kit car for certain stunts when filming the show. For close ups and everything else it was the real deal Testarossa.

  • The problem with the daytona was that it was just a body... On top of a corvette body so Enzo didn't like that so that he set them up with the testarossa. He had them in white because he didn't like how the black Daytona blended in with the night.

  • Comment removed

  • Man I loved this show

    This was everything there was to like about the 80s

    Hot cars, Hot girls and guns

    This show was clearly the source of inspiration for GTA games

  • I like testarossa red :) but miami vice is still awesome! I wish I lived in the 80s man..

  • nice!

  • Song - Andy Taylor - When The Rain Comes Down

  • cocaine white lovely

  • The ar is at the Swap Shop FLA>

  • 6 people are VW Gallardo / Murciélago fans.

  • can anybody tell me what style of t shirt crockett is wearing in the begining of this scene, the whole kind of oversized t shirt thing because i really want one.

  • Super nice

  • PERFECT Ferrari ~~~~

  • my favourite part: 0:56 - 4:26!!!

  • nice music...

  • Yaaah! rev that beast! still one of the most gorgeous cars to ever get on t.v.

    Enzo Ferrari only ever made 2 white Testarossa's, to use on this  show. I wish

    I could locate em now.

  • this makes me want to play vice city!!

  • Where did the TR end up?

  • @vargas37 in my garage.

  • ich weiß das es bestimmte verfahrensweisen gibt an die man sich halten muss,aber es ist einen,einen Monat her seit er ins Grass gebissen hat der Daytona... ich versuche hier eine von der Abteilung genehmigte Tarnung aufrecht zu erhalten und wenn ich zu 6 stelligen Geschäften immer auftauche wie ein ar-mes Würstchen dann schindet das keinen Eindruck!!!! Er steht unten...

  • can sb tell me the name of the song?????

  • Jan Hammer - Crockett's theme / Andy Taylor - When the rain comes down. Soundtrack was available from MCA records. Phil Collins/The Damned/Roxy Music to name as well. Miami Vice was well ahead of its time combining fashion? cars! pop music and top totty. Anyone remember Sheena Easton - I'm off

  • The American-sold Testarossa may well have had less power than the nominal 390 hp, as many sportscars fell victim to bizarre US emission requirements during the 70s and 80s. Some Corvettes from the period had like 160 hp...

  • 344 bhp ???? i think it's 390 on testarossa

  • what is name of this song?

  • The Ferrari Daytona (1-2° season)

    is a real model too ,

    but for only US market .

  • A Ferrari is best looking in red paint with black interior, this is white with beige interior lol

  • God I love the music...

  • God I miss those days. Guess that's why I love GTA: Vice City soo much.

  • @Dngrzne91 gotta agree with cha, man.

  • No CGI stuff here. Stunt drivers driving really freakin FAST!!!

  • I LOVE IT

    VICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEE
