The Ferrari Testarossa, a renowned 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car, was launched by Ferrari in 1984, succeeding the Berlinetta Boxer. Designed by Pininfarina, it was produced until 1991, followed by two model revisions, the 512 TR and F512 M, until 1996. Nearly 10,000 units were produced, making it one of the most mass-produced Ferrari models of its time. Premiering at the 1984 Paris Auto Show, the Testarossa featured a two-door coupé style and a rear mid-engine design for improved stability and cornering ability. Its distinct styling, including the iconic side strakes, known as "cheese graters" or "egg slicers", became emblematic of the late 80s and helped cool the engine more efficiently. The Testarossa became a cultural icon of the 1980s, featuring prominently in media like the TV series "Miami Vice" and the video game "Out Run". As Ferrari's flagship model of the decade, it influenced a variety of aftermarket body kits and became synonymous with 1980s culture.
