*Cough* Countach
The NSX was an icon of the 80’s, but the Testarossa is well more known than
the NSX…
A white testarossa, just like in wolf of wallstreet
Nice! F355 Challenge for me though,…..given the choice.
parent’s friend got a testarossa, that he uses for racing. one hell of a
car
aw…I like Testarossa from starting,no one beat it….except LA
Ferrari,its damn gud my dream car….
Testarossa was very Miami Vice, but every teen boy had a poster of the
Lamborghini Countach, not the Ferrari.
Most iconic 80’s car? What about the cars from the Dukes of Hazard, or
Knight Rider, or the A-Team, or Smokey and the Bandit, or any of the Bond
car of that era?
The Testarossa was the first car of the 80’s that solidified the notion
that the highest level of playboy/bad-boy drove a supercar, strickly
because it was showcased as such on Miami Vice. the idea that money ment
supreme bling!. Keep in mind Miami Vice was completely new in itself. A
super cool fast paced neon lite crime drama in a part of america no one
knew about. In fact The show itself made Miami litterally, because at the
time it was a cliche retiree location. The buildings were painted up in
those flooral colors by the set dressing crew of the show, And with the
‘cocaine cowboys’ era in full swing with the influx of cuban and hispanic
influence the white ferrari paired with the black and white undercover cop
duo was perfect. it simply was all perfect and all new. nothing like that
has happened in cinema television or movies since.

jesus that was a bland story. ‘i picked up the demo car and i spoke to my
boss and he said use your initiative, so what i did was i drove the demo
car around a racing track and didnt scratch it because its the demo car and
i sold six cars after returning the demo car…’
Nice Car in White, i see others in red but white, white was perfect.
I wouldnt say this is Ferrari’s most icon car. F40 comes to mind
Kavinsky and the movie Drive comes to mind.
This, a 70′ Dodge charger and a 74 Lamborghini Countach are my ultimate
dream cars
there is nothing more 80’s then this…
He doesn’t recall any manufacture making something iconically
80’s??……has he heard of the countach?
/Drive, this was great. The huge side gills and massive hips on this car
still look great today.
I do wish there was a way to control the levels better cause depending on
what I watch YouTube on (phone or computer) the audio levels are so
different. The music was a tad loud during the interview type scenes, but
tell me who else gives us this level of cinematography and automotive drool
worthy content. Thanks /Drive for starting 2015 off right.
Well I liked the way Don Johnson used to dress I never came across his
fashion any more.
that was nice. Also, it looks great in white.
Please don’t mount camera sliders to iconic supercars. The shot isn’t worth
it.
What song is playing in the beginning?
That does sound amazing!
Awesome.
car is good, but driving is bad…
not the most iconic car from Ferrari in my opinion, for me its 288 gto the
way it looks
Kavinsky
The Testarossa & Countach both are what I think of when I hear “80’s Icon”
with the Ferrari 308 GTS following closely behind. Given the chance, I’d
take a white Testarossa in a heartbeat over the others though…
The 80s- where almost everyone was coke dealer had a Porsche, Lamborgini,
or Ferrari… Probably all of the above
12 cyclinder boxer! Come on! Lol i wanted one ever since i was a kid…
While others were drooling on Lambos and Lotus i was drooling over this…
02:42 It’s a 180° V engine, not a flat engine, since each of the connecting
rods of two opposing pistons share a crank throw.
I remember 25 years ago in Vancouver British Columbia, I used to see a
Testarossa used as a daily driver. It was too big for the city streets and
in the winter with the rains on the West Coast, it was always dirty, and
didn’t look happy at all. But it’s a Ferrari.
