1987 Ferrari Testarossa Test Drive
What do ‘Miami Vice’, Sega’s ‘Outrun’ video game, and a poster every teen boy had on his wall in the 80’s, have in common with each other? The Testarossa. It was never one of Modena’s best efforts, with its enormous girth and overstuffed appearance, it perfectly sums up the 1980’s credo of excess. As soon as it appeared on the world’s television screens in Miami Vice, the Testarossa, or Redhead, became a symbol of everything that was wrong with a decade of rampant materialism and greed. The Testarossa fell from grace rather suddenly. Dilettante speculators bought it new at $400,000-odd and ballyhooed its values up to a million. By 1988, secondhand values were going down the slippery slope and many an investor stood back in horror as his hedge against inflation shed three quarters of its value overnight. It may not have been the best, but as a kid admiring that poster above my bed, i certainly did not know it, or care!
