Seller's Introduction

duPont REGISTRY Live presents this 1988 Ferrari Testarossa, a beautifully preserved example of Ferrari's iconic flat-twelve grand tourer, finished in classic Rosso Corsa over Nero Connolly leather. Showing 28,525 miles and backed by a clean history, this Testarossa benefits from a fresh comprehensive engine-out major service, one of the most important maintenance milestones for the model. With its unmistakable Pininfarina styling, gated 5-speed manual transmission, and legendary flat-twelve engine, this Testarossa represents one of the defining Ferrari supercars of the 1980s.

Overview

Introduced as the successor to the 512 BBi, the Testarossa quickly became one of Ferrari's most recognizable road cars thanks to its dramatic proportions, signature side strakes, and motorsport-inspired engineering. Mounted longitudinally behind the passenger compartment, the Tipo F113 4.9-liter flat-twelve delivers smooth, linear power and a distinctive soundtrack that remains unique among Ferrari road cars. Paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle and traditional open-gate shifter, the Testarossa offers the analog driving experience that has made vintage Ferraris increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.

 

Finished in Rosso Corsa, the exterior showcases the timeless design penned by Pininfarina. Signature styling elements include the distinctive side strakes, pop-up headlights, integrated rear deck vents, and quad exhaust outlets. Factory 16-inch five-spoke alloy wheels complete the iconic silhouette, while the wide rear track and aggressive stance continue to define the Testarossa's unmistakable presence nearly four decades after its introduction.

 

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Nero Connolly leather and retains the period-correct details that have become synonymous with Ferrari's golden era. The driver is greeted by a leather-wrapped three-spoke MOMO steering wheel, classic Veglia Borletti instrumentation, and the celebrated open-gate shifter positioned prominently on the center console. Additional amenities include air conditioning, power windows, power seatbelts, and Ferrari prancing horse floor mats, blending grand touring comfort with unmistakable Italian character.

 

Power is delivered through the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential, providing balanced handling and impressive high-speed stability. The recent engine-out major service was extensive and included replacement of the timing belts, front crankshaft seal, camshaft seals and O-rings, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, and accessory drive belts. Additional maintenance included rebuilding the water pump,  coolant hoses, fuel hoses, battery, and complete fluid services for the engine, transmission, cooling system, brakes, and clutch. The air conditioning system was fully recharged, and the belt covers and valve covers were refinished, reflecting a high level of attention to both mechanical integrity and presentation.

 

This 1988 Ferrari Testarossa is offered with one key, a car cover, and its Leatherback toolkit. Combining classic Rosso Corsa over Nero specification, low mileage, and a comprehensive documented engine-out service addressing many of the model's most critical maintenance items, this Testarossa represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of Ferrari's most iconic analog-era supercars.
