This week, the automotive community of Ukraine is buzzing with news: brought the iconic Ferrari Testarossa, one of the most recognizable supercars of the 80s. The red sports car, the star of the Turbo popsicles, with a characteristic profile and a 12-cylinder engine, has already managed to gather the admiring glances of Ukrainian motorists. TopZhir informs about this.
It is believed that this is the first instance of Testarossa that got to Ukraine (currently - to Kyiv). However, history shows otherwise. In 1988, the famous Ukrainian football player Oleksandr Zavarov, who then transferred from Kyiv "Dynamo" to the Italian "Juventus", was presented with a Ferrari Testarossa in honor of his transfer. This sports car still belongs to Zavarov, and as he admitted in one of the interviews, the car is stored in his garage in Turin, where the former football player lives. Unfortunately, due to the state of Ukrainian roads, he never dared to bring this luxury to his native country - a fact recently recalled by blogger Roma Urraco.
Under the hood of the Ferrari Testarossa is a powerful 4,9-liter opposed 12-cylinder engine, which in different years developed from 370 to 390 horsepower. The mid-engine coupe can reach a speed of up to 290 km/h, accelerating to a hundred in 5,7-6 seconds. This car is painted in the signature Rosso Corsa red color and has a stylish brown interior, emphasizing its classic yet timeless look.
The Ferrari Testarossa, produced between 1984 and 1991, is one of the company's most iconic models and the main competitor to the Lamborghini Countach. A total of 7177 copies were produced, and today the average price of this legendary coupe reaches about 120-150 thousand dollars.
