Testarossa is a two-door coupé premiered at the 1984 Paris Auto Show. All versions of the Testarossa had the power fed through the wheels from a rear-mounted, five-speed manual transmission. Middle rear engine, rear-wheel drive layout (engine between the axles but behind the cabin) keeps the center of gravity in the middle of the car, which increases stability and improves the ability of cornering the car, and thus results in a standing weight distribution 40% front: 60% rear. The original Testarossa back engineered for 1992 and released as the 512 TR, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, effectively as a completely new car, and weight distribution increased 41% front: 59% rear. [6 F512 M] was introduced at the 1994 Paris Auto Show. the car dropped the TR initials and added the M which in the language of Italy stood for modificata, or translated to modified, and the final version of the Testarossa, and continued its predecessor's weight distribution improvement 42% front: 58% rear. [8 M F512] is the last machine mid 12-cylinder car, apart from the F50, Ferrari Enzo Ferrari and LaFerrari, featuring the company's last flat engine. Testarossa was replaced in 1996 by a front-engined 550 Maranello coupé.
The vehicle should not be confused with the Ferrari TR "Testa Rossa" of the late 1950s and early 1960s, which is a sports car that ran in the world Sportscar Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Testarossa can trace its roots back to the mistakes of 1981 512i BB. The problem that the Testarossa was conceived to improve, including the cabin gets the more heat from the indoor plumbing that ran between the radiator and the engine mounted up front as they Mount and a lack of luggage space. To fix these problems Ferrari and Pininfarina designed the Testarossa became larger than its predecessor, the Boxer Sport. For example, in 1976 millimeters (78 in) width of the Testarossa was half a foot wider than the Boxer. This resulted in an increased wheelbase that stretched about 64 mm (2.5 inches) 2550 mm (100 inches) used to accommodate luggage in a carpeted storage space under the front forward-opening hood. The increased length creates extra storage space behind the seats in the cabin. Headroom is also increased with a roofline half an inch higher than the Boxer.
The design originated from Pininfarina. The design team at Pininfarina consists of Ian Cameron, Guido Campoli Ottina, Diego and Emanuele Nicosia. With little surprise, they were led by the head of the design of the Leonardo Fioravanti, designer of many contemporary Ferraris. The design comes from Nicosia, but Fioravanti guidance is equally important. Become a trained aerodynamist, Fioravanti applied that knowledge to set up the layout of the aerodynamics of the car. This means large side intakes is not only a statement of style but completely functional-they pull clean air to cool the radiator side and then go to the top and leave the car through ventilation holes located on the lid of the machine and the tail. As a result, the Testarossa doesn't require rear spoiler as Lamborghini Countach has not produced zero lift on the rear axle. Aerodynamic drag coefficient is 0.36 is also significantly better than Lamborghini 0.42.
Pininfarina's his body was curvaceous Boxer--a departure from the one that caused some controversy. They side is sometimes referred to as "cheese to be taken santannya" or "egg slicers," stretching from the doors to the rear fenders were needed for rules in some States that prohibit large openings on cars. Testarossa had twin radiators on the back with a machine rather than a single radiator up-front. in conjunction They provided cool air rear-mounted side radiators, thus keeping the engine from overheating. They also made Testarossa wider at the back than at the front, so as to increase stability and handling.
One last aside from unique new design is a high Mount rear view mirror on the driver's side. US based on cars, the mirror was lowered to a more normal placement in 1987 and quickly joined the passenger rear side mirrors from drivers to secure changes can make easy lane.
Like its predecessor, the Testarossa used double wishbone front and rear suspension systems.
