1989 Ferrari Testarossa Test Drive!

[TMB33]

Wow. When is the last time you seen a benzi box head unit

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

Dear Santa

[auzzierocks]

whats the miles/gallon?

[corkskrewclubhouse93]

One of my dream cars

[revolutionday1]

To Hell with the haters; I thought you guys were great and really conveyed the experience...with some added humor, even!

[carsbyjeff]

@revolutionday1 Thanks!

[cmannestle]

Dude, un zoom it.

[ugirl2]

MacGruber !!! and his benzi box !!!!! LOL

[bondman70]

"The radio comes out for security purposes" Yeah, I take the time to break into a Ferrari and all i take is the 20-Year old radio. Lol.

[Eidrian111]

you are absolutely right only true drivers order their ferrari with the manual gearbox not that stupid F1 box

[Allanlegacy43]

If you have the means I HIGHLY recommend it, Ferris Bueler was driving that car!!

[juandenz2008]

@Allanlegacy43 The one is the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a 250 GT Spider California, a classic model from the 1960s. The Testarossa featured in the Miami Vice TV series !

There is something oddly humorous about this generic car sales pitch for the Testarossa. "Oh it has a am/fm tape player that is removable for security purposes". Yeah I'm buying a classic Testarossa and I'm going to be worried about the car being targeted by thieves after the 1980s era stereo.

[Allanlegacy43]

@juandenz2008 I know that, I didn't mean that literal car, just making fun of the famous line in Ferris Bueller movie!

[fordcrossie]

very nice car love older ferrari, how fast is it if I may ask? I drive a 96 c36 amg love it :)

[LeilanMiguel]

nice shifting



[MarcoTUV]

you own one of the most nice car Ferrari built man!

[jabulanyi]

I love this car! its so timeless just like the maranello 550.

[ac690]

its a flat 12 cunt

[BMan100]

nothing like a Dog leg gear box eh? the 928's had em, I hear the clutch and the gear change are just HEAAAAVVVYYYY.. I could afford a ferrari. and you could live with it IF you have HUUUUUUUGE muscles eh? eh? lol. kidding but a beauty of a car.

[SuperTowlie1]

Wow its ugly as f*ck

[Mattypphillip]

Thought this engine was horizontally opposed, not v12?

[carsbyjeff]

@Mattypphillip

You are right, horizontally opposed. Thanks!

[christianmouse]

@carsbyjeff 180-degree V12, so not a proper flat-12 or boxer engine (pistons move away from, not towards each other) - I think!

[metaligeologist]

@Mattypphillip Sorry mate, it Is a 180 degree v12. The crankshaft design is the give away.

A horizontally opposed engine would have the pistons firing opposite each other side to side. This is a v12 with a regular Ferrari firing order. It is very much like 2 straight 6's on their side.

Very wide, lower COG, awesome sound, but not a flat 12.

[Mattypphillip]

@metaligeologist

They did make a Testarossa with a flat 12 engine. There's videos of it on YT. Whether or not this car uses that engine I have no idea.

[ferranerazzi]

@Mattypphillip He's getting his terminology mixed up. It's a 180* V12 aka flat 12. People get confused by the Boxer name which this isn't. Flat yes, 180* V12 yes, Boxer no.

[testilor]

@Mattypphillip This engine is Boxer 12 cylinder, and the Ferrari 512M of the year 1996 is the last Ferrari on this engine.

[goldbullet50]

If I would have driver's license, enough age to have one (lol) and 80 000 €/£/$ I would buy this car faster than you say "Australasian treecreeper"

[zapwatt]

A couple of middleaged tools

[carsbyjeff]

@zapwatt

Well, you could have said Old tools so thanks!

[TheArtHippy]

I would <3 to own one of these when im older!

[Chunkychucky]

Thanks for doing a great show for me around one of my favourite cars :D Thankyou!

[carsbyjeff]

@Chunkychucky

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[TheGel69]

very cheesy used car saleman type comment......spoiled the whole thing too bad

[carsbyjeff]

@TheGel69

I'm not sure what you are even referring to?? Now this is cheesy - "My name is Vick Ferrari, walk with me talk with me baby!" ;-)

[kirkconway]

the Testarossa was the first LIVABLE MID ENGINE FERRARI TO COME OUR OF MARENELLO IN THE PAST 35 YR'S,

I liked BB's alot but they are archaic compared to the TR.

what more could you ask for that all the little thing's that a TR has?

glove box mirror, digital readout on engine and fluid's,

tasteful brown Interior.nice seat's

totally livable mid engine car with ferrari quality.

[ogettings]

One day...

[GoodTimeSam77]

its not a v12 its a flat 12 ....

[JohnieNY]

Nice Testarossa but I don't know what makes you think you can get almost $60k when everyone else on Ebay is selling them for around $35k in the same condition. I'm sorry but I'm being honest.

[carsbyjeff]

@JohnieNY

??? The one listed right below ours is $70,000.00. And our just sold for our price of $59,900.00. Must have been priced right.

Thanks,

Jeff

[robbypjr]

[carsbyjeff]

@robbypjr

When it comes to buying new cars I agree 100% !!

Go America! Go GM, Go Ford, Go Chrysler, Go Jeep!

[MrAshlandVideos]

[jload1]

Jeff I love American Muscle cars as much as you do,but you have to admit we Italians know how to build them.

[carsbyjeff]
