Seller's Introduction

duPont REGISTRY Live presents this captivating 1991 Ferrari Testarossa, a desirable French-market example finished in iconic Rosso Corsa over a Black leather interior. Powered by Ferrari's legendary naturally aspirated 4.9-liter flat-twelve paired with a gated five-speed manual transaxle, this European-specification Testarossa embodies the unmistakable styling, exhilarating performance, and grand touring character that made it one of the defining supercars of its era. Equipped with desirable French-market features, 512 TR wheels, front-end paint protection film, and accompanied by its owner's booklets and extensive registration documentation, this Testarossa represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Ferrari's most celebrated twelve-cylinder models.

Overview

Penned by Pininfarina, the Ferrari Testarossa quickly became one of the most recognizable automobiles of all time. Its dramatic side strakes, wide rear track, and signature flat-twelve engine established it as an icon of 1980s and early-1990s automotive design. Combining exotic styling with genuine long-distance touring capability, the Testarossa remains one of Ferrari's most celebrated road cars and continues to enjoy strong collector interest worldwide.

 

Finished in timeless Rosso Corsa, this French-market example showcases several distinctive characteristics that separate it from its North American counterparts. European-market Testarossas feature slimmer bumpers, unique lighting, and the Ferrari badge on the front fenders, creating a cleaner and more authentic presentation. French examples were required to have yellow fog lights, adding more exclusivity to this specific Testarossa. This example is further enhanced by desirable 512 TR wheels and front-end paint protection film, helping preserve the striking Rosso Corsa finish while maintaining the car's exceptional appearance.

 

The cabin is trimmed in classic Nero Connolly leather upholstery, providing a purposeful yet luxurious environment befitting Ferrari's flagship grand tourer. Traditional Veglia Borletti instrumentation sits prominently ahead of the driver, while the iconic open-gate shifter serves as the centerpiece of the cockpit. Additional appointments include a Pioneer head unit and the factory fire extinguisher, preserving the period-correct character of the interior while offering enhanced usability.

 

Mounted longitudinally behind the cabin is Ferrari's legendary naturally aspirated 4.9-liter flat-twelve engine, paired with a five-speed manual transaxle that delivers one of the most engaging shifting experiences ever produced. French and broader European-market Testarossas produced approximately 385 horsepower, benefiting from less restrictive emissions equipment than their U.S.-market counterparts. By comparison, U.S.-specification cars were fitted with larger catalytic converters and additional emissions equipment that reduced output to approximately 375 horsepower. The result is a European-specification driving experience that more closely reflects Ferrari's original engineering intent, accompanied by the unmistakable sound and character of the naturally aspirated flat-twelve.

 

Accompanied by one key, its original owner's booklets, and extensive registration documentation, this 1991 Ferrari Testarossa presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable French-market example of one of Ferrari's most iconic supercars. Combining European-market exclusivity, timeless Rosso Corsa styling, the legendary flat-twelve engine, and the engaging five-speed gated manual transmission, this Testarossa stands as a remarkable representation of Ferrari's golden era of analog performance and design.
