@@titusrome2863 Having a 180 degree V12 (not a 'proper' flat 12 due to its crankshaft) in the back IMHO this comes as no surprise. :) Since Ferrari engines were always designed to be racing engines, they reduce the number of crank planes as much as possible, resulting in the lack of rumble (hence the 4 cylinder-like note of their V8s), but this has been a tradition for them. So if you have a Ferrari, expect an engine note as the half of the actual number of cylinders. :D This Testarossa is no exception, so just by hearing it (and not knowing Ferrari engine notes) one would guess it's a flat six.
You buy a 500hp car and in the first months you drive it like you stole it. Until you realize that it burns 20 liters/100km.. so you go down to 130, where it will use only 13 liters. That is why most of the people drive at 130, unless you want some fun. Driving fast saves you 10-15 minutes, but you pay double for the trip. Makes no sense.
@@ivanovmarcell4486 never happend to me but i know what you mean. Car are build for driving, so drive them and dont take it to serious. When something brakes, just fix it. As long as you dont crash it, its fine. On the Autobahn i drive fast for 2 reasons: i want to be fast at "point b" and for me its most of the time boring as hell, even at >250km/h. Only straight line, thats not fun. Country roads and Racetracks, this is where the fun begins.
Gorgeous, but crazy to think that this car accelerates from 0-200 kmh in 17-18 seconds, mighty fast in the 80s, whereas the quickest modern supercars do the same sprint in well under 10, and some hypercars crack 7!!!
the Countach, the Testarossa and the 959 were the fastest sports cars in the world in the first half of the eighties, like today, whoever says it was slow should know that his nation still produced rod and rockers distribution cars.
Great, they do 200km/h in 7s but the spirit is gone ! It's also worth mentioning everything today has better suspension, tires and nearly twice the power but most importantly transmission shift times improved by leaps since then, shifts here were super slow, even for a gated Manual.
0-60 is only one performance characteristic. One of my favorite cars to drive is my son's Porsche 911SC. Relatively slow compared to modern performance machines, but no matter. It drives like a dream. 0-60, which I enjoy on other cars, means little when you are pushing through twisty mountain roads with that awesome cool 6 behind you whirring away as you master the often-flaky 915 transmission. You can throw a jet engine on a VW Bug and blow everyone into the weeds, but you would still have nothing but a VW with a jet engine on it. This car will still be around when the family hatchbacks have been transformed into toolboxes.
That gear change. Cant stop smiling. Is not about efficiency. Just like passion, like falling in love. The guys who made these old sports cars are geniuses.

I'm starting to get the feeling that everyone that owns a fast car uses it to its full potential on the Autobahn.
no not all the time. Some are actually really slow and annoying despite driving cars with +500 horses.

I believe we live in the golden age of information. I wanted to hear a Testarossa in full trot and boom, youtube and mourners delivers!

That is true. But an Audi RS6 is also really great looking car.

Yes and in manual, where the designers prevail over the aerodynamic geeks in the final styling. No touch screens or cup holders.

Why so many jealous V6 and 4 cylinder owners hating on the 'Rossa? Do they really think they can stand a chance against one? Lol.
Testarossa is the coolest name for a car
Not even 10 seconds after video ends...
FIRE 🔥 WERE GONNA HAVE TO DITCH!

Cleaning the plugs & decoking the chambers would be a joy in this Car.
Not to mention, one of the most beautiful cars.
And today, you can get a better performance in a family station wagon. Crazy.
In only a very very few not even worth counting for. And those are not family oriented cars anyway.
Nope. Theres only a handful of family station wagons or 4 cylinder hatchbacks capable of this performance.
Wow this sounds better than some modern day supercars!

That V12 sound fuck I really want a testarossa but I can only afford like a third of it. If 2 more people jump in we could buy one together!
best car ever ever made
How did it feel?
Does it feel fast??
How to get that sound in regular car while changing gears?
That looks like the French motorway, not the autobahn...
Now that’s a Ferrari
I Love testarossa Engine Flat12!!
The Engine is a 180degree V-engine,not a boxer sll the best Lutz
@@lutzroedger9811 Look like I can't trust Wikipedia anymore but isn't 180 degree mean boxer because of how much they turn?
30 Years back we build a koenig Testarossa with 2 Tubocharger and 1000hp
Favorite car of Guy Lux and Pbilippe Bouvard ...French journalist / showmen of 80
What!? Wait!! Where did you find that long of a stretch of Autobahn without construction???
It isn't even an Autobahn, it's in France or the Netherlands, look at the road signs :D
The Testarossa and the 355 was the last of Best Ferrari's barring the 599. The rest is a joke especially with idiotic purchase policy
This is where supercar belong! not pothole streets of New York
Che grandissimo catorcio!
HEAVEN
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh yessssssssss
Next, drive to workshop for engine overhaul.
Macho macho man...
Nice car
Nice he did 200km/h in 4 gear
0-100 km/h in 1st. Holy hell..
I’m so old that I remember when a Testarossa was considered quick.
full acceleration 0-220km/h - video starts at 40km/h - we got scammed again... it seems that in 2012 cklickbait already was a thing lol
......and that is the fastest speed that car will go until the end of his life.
All the power of todays 4 cylinders
It's scaring, so fast in a such old car
