Ferrari Testarossa

The Ferrari Testarossa is a 12-cylinder mid-engined sports car manufactured by Ferrari between 1984 and 1996 as the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer.
== Description ==
The Testarossa name paid homage to the famed World Sportscar Champion 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car. Testa Rossa, which literally means "red head" in Italian, refers to the red-painted cam covers sported by both cars' 12-cylinder engines.
The Ferrari Testarossa's design came from Pininfarina, with their body one that sparked some controversy. The side strakes sometimes referred to as "cheese graters" or "egg slicers" that spanned from the doors to the rear fenders were needed for rules in several countries outlawing large openings on cars. The Testarossa had twin radiators in the back with the engine instead of a single radiator up-front. In conjunction the strakes provided cool air to the rear-mounted side radiators, stopping the engine from overheating. The strakes also made the Testarossa wider at the rear than in the front, thus increasing stability and handling.
One last unique addition to the new design was a single high mounted rear view mirror on the driver's side; this is also known as the "Flying Mirror". On US based cars, the mirror was lowered to a more normal placement in 1987 and quickly joined by a passenger side rear view mirror for the driver to be able to easily change lanes safely.
The Testarossa uses a 4.9 L (4,943 cc) mid-mounted flat-12 engine, which is actually also a 180°-rotated V12, with each cylinder having 4 valves, with 48 valves total, lubricated via a dry sump system. The engine has a compression ratio of 9.2:1. The Testarossa's F12 produces at most at 6,300 rpm and at 4,500 rpm.
The Testarossa can accelerate from 0 - 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.2 seconds and on to 100 mph (161 km/h) in 11.4 seconds. The top speed of the Testarossa is 180 mph (290 km/h).
As Ferrari's range-topper during the 1980s, the car made numerous appearances in pop culture, most notably in the arcade game OutRun, and in the third, fourth, and fifth seasons of Miami Vice. The car has subsequently become synonymous with 1980s "yuppies" and is an icon of 1980s retro culture.

===Performance===
<tabber>
|-|v6.8=
Unlike its previous Class C performance, the Ferrari Testarossa is now the fastest accelerating car in the rank bracket and now rivals the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary and Aston Martin DB9 Coupé.
|-|v.5.0-v6.7=
The Ferrari Testarossa is inferior to the DS Survolt in all aspects with a high top speed, weaker handling & drift radius, very poor nitro efficiency, and slow acceleration. The Testarossa can be described as a car with high top speed at the expense of slow acceleration, bad handling and and poor nitro efficiency.
The Testarossa competes as the fourth starter's car for Class C, though it is highly recommended to buy the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary instead. The Testarossa is a poor choice for time-limited events and stands as one of worst vehicles in Class C, alongside the Aston Martin DB9 Coupé and Audi RS 4 Avant. For Multiplayer, the Testarossa is also a poor choice as it will be put in races against the Rezvani Beast X, Ferrari F50 and TVR Sagaris Special Edition, none of which it can compete against.
|-|v1.3-v4.9=
The Testarossa acts as a slightly more nitro-efficient version of the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary and Lotus Evora Enduro GT. Given its weight of and its low nitro stat, the Testarossa's acceleration is largely lacking. The Testarossa's handling and drifting, while not the worst, is also mediocre. The only advantage the Testarossa has over similarly-ranked cars is its high top speed.
