    The bizarre spare wheel is known as a space saver tyre. It's quite common with European cars where a smaller spare wheels were used to save space but they also have restricted speed limits. These days cars don't even have that anymore... Instead you get an emergency tyre repair kit.

    The costs are about 5-10 000 dollars per year. At least you must be ready to spend that much if you are a bit unlucky. Gearbox breakes every 5-10 year ( 50 000 dollars). Other costs are ok ( brakes, shockabsorbers, bushings, axles, paintwork/ bodywork and so on is expensive but not crazy like gearbox and engine-repair). The timing-belt is every 4-5 years ( incl. everything ( valve-adjustments, changing pulleys +++++) it will set you back about 10 000 usd). I bought the 512 TR in 2006 for 50 000 euros. Have broken the gearbox ( differential) twice and spent at least 100 000 usd in repairs. So if I sell the car now I will MAYBE break even.....

I ended up buying an Aston Martin instead of the Ferrari. Since it shared a lot of parts with Volvo and Ford, and the mechanicals are easily accessible, regular maintenance is far less costly than most people realize. It only required a single service every 10,000 miles and a good independent repair shop could do most of the work. However, the car had an unending litany of computer glitches, sensor malfunctions and leaks (basically examples of poor build quality). Constantly chasing them down just became more trouble than it was worth.

    I had a friend with a Testarossa, it was a pain in the ass to drive on the streets. It was so wide that it took up the whole lane, driving it was like driving a big rig, constantly keeping it in the lane. In urban centers it was just a drag.

    Those automatic seatbelts were in tons of cars in the late 80's; they counted as passive restraints when airbags were still expensive. I can't believe you said the V-12 was the really interesting part. Plenty of cars have V-12's, but this is the only modern car with a flat 12.

    @1wv4me That is not totally correct, indeed it came after the Testarossa but is one of the 3 models of in the Testarossa line, the Testarossa (84-91) and the 2 other iterations named 512 TR (91-94) and F512 M (94-96) which landed different engines and some redesigns. All those cares are considered Testarossa. The successor of the Testarossa line was the Ferrari 550 Maranello. If you are officially purist there is another Testarossa model Testarossa Spider but only one (1) was made and gifted to Giovanni Agnelli. (source: Ferrari History book)

Dopo la Testarossa l'azienda vide la necessità di proseguire con quella linea che tanto piacque ma non potevano certamente chiamarla nello stesso modo, così oltre a migliorarla esteticamente e nettamente interiormente misero le mani anche sul propulsore che come sai restò ovviamente 12 cilindri ma con più potenza e meno difetti ma sempre con quel tipico sound. Risultato fu che nacque la 512 tr per me vera erede finale della Testarossa e ...per me decisamente una delle Ferrari più belle di tutti i tempi assieme a F40 , GTO, 328 GTS...

    The Nissan Maxima seatbelt also did that back in the day. I use to and still do think it’s the coolest thing seatbelt wise.

    many many many cars did, in fact EVERY car had to have some form of passive restraint, and I'm surprised seeing Doug act like he's surprised to see it in this car, even looking like he's never seen it before. Doesn't seem possible. They only exist because when the carmakers were forced to do passive restraint, they did this instead of airbags for cost reasons. Some cars did something different, like mount the entire 3 point belt on the door. Like a regular 3 point belt but you could leave it plugged in and the door swept it out of your way. The reason they stopped doing these motorized shoulder belts has nothing to do with whether people used the lap belt. It was because airbags, which is what the government intended form the beginning, became cheaper.

    Spare tire is like that for a reason. The spare is a lot thinner than the main drive tires, so to place the tire at the best possible position closer to the chassis, the weight will be more centered between the tire across from it and the spare tire. This is the reason for the rim protruding outward from the tire.

    Technically speaking it's a 180° V12, so Doug is correct. Yes, it could be described as a flat engine, but it's not a boxer, which is what 'flat' would usually refer to. The Testarossa didn't have a boxer, and neither did its "Berlinetta Boxer" predecessors, despite the name. The difference is that in a boxer, opposing pistons move up and down at the same time, as if they were trying to punch each other (hence the name). In a V12, one moves up, and the opposing one moves down.

    No. It is a V-12. Yes, it has a 180 degree V. But, the crankshaft and firing order dictate that it is still a V12 fundamentally. Yes, in terms of terminology, it makes sense to say "flat," but "flat" typically implies a boxer configuration which this is not (for instance, two opposing connecting rods share a common crank pin). I sure wish Doug had gone into more detail in the video on this.....

    Whats funny 3 years ago when they were selling for $45,000 to $50,000 in the market, Ferrari chat people didn't think the Testarossa values would go up significantly, mainly due to numbers built (over 7000 made!), and the fact that they require a $20,000 engine out maintenance (assuming nothing else breaks during that time, ie rear diff) every 30,000 miles or every 5 years. That's how often you have to change the timing belt and can only be done with engine removed. People can go buy a more modern Ferrari from the 90s with better built quality and not do a $20,000 maintenance work. The engine also seats on top of the gearbox giving a high CG, not good for high speed stability in a corner. Also the chassis is weak enough that when you lift the rear on one side to change a flat tire the rear glass cracks from the chassis flexing! Just look at how many are on eBay right now. Everyone is trying to dump them before prices fall again. I doubt many if any are selling for anywhere near $160K. Follow the bids on eBay and with reserve not made most end at 100-110K which is what they were selling for before economy crashed.... The only note worthy 12 cylinder older Ferraries that would be a good investment is the 550 and the 570 maranello imo. Front engined 12 cylinder just like the original ones before they start doing rear engine cars...

    Agree 100%. I actually had a chance to seat in a couple of Testorossas, and man, what a POS of a car it is. Very poor quality interior. Almost looks like it was reupholstered in a hood or something like that. Plasticky-rubberry center console that is all melted and sticky, the shifter that feels like a stick in a dump bucket and yes - the "engine out maintenance" is a cherry on top of all that. To buy only to sell it to some idiot, but to spend even 45-50k on one, id much rather have NSX.

    Also, the TR averages about 24 mpg highway. For sale for around $85,000 when new, the TR tanked a massive amount of engine oil due to the 5 litre 12 cylinder boxer design. Some of the quirks discussed here were actually completely functional (side strakes led to twin radiators). Ferrari never took its drivers for granted, assuming that they'd figure out where everything in the car is on their own and then never think about it again (parking lights). Air conditioning wasn't of major concern with all drivers, but pretty much mandatory in the US since so many customers were in hotter regions. If Doug thought the chunky tail on the grey car was impressive, in Bianco white, the tail looked absolutely massive. As an interesting note, when the 550 Maranello arrived (bringing the 12 back up front) the rear track was narrower than the front. All TestaRossas were 512, but the badging changed around depending. The F512M was the last iteration. With only 75 made, Doug might find it hard to find one to borrow. Interesting still, the 308 and 328 models are rocketing up in value as well. Every Ferrari model bottoms out in value, then starts going back up. Currently, a 360 Modena worth having is still under $115,000. Wait two years, it will be over $160,000 (esp. the manual transmission one I know of).

    I swear I recall like 8 years ago I would look on eBay and see these vehicles closing auctions around $70K-$80K from the 1980's models. I think I saw one close around $60K. I was thinking of pulling the trigger and bidding to win an auction for one. When I was a kid in the 80's - I was always a fan of the Countach moreover. Though 1980's Countach eBay auctions were definitely no less than $180,000 over $200,000 if I recall correctly some 8 years ago. Now I see them pushing over $300,000.
