30 1980s Cars That Changed The Automotive Industry

12. Ferrari Testarossa

The ultimate ’80s Ferrari is the Testarossa. Ferrari presented it in 1984 and based it on the 512 BB architecture. It came with a flat 12 engine and rear engine configuration. But what made it famous was the styling and brutal performance that made it a legend of the period.

The Testarossa was an interestingly engineered car with a wide track due to the flat 12 engine. This helped achieve more room in the interior, but it was hard to maneuver the car in tight spaces. Although it sold well, it was only when it was in the popular TV show, Miami Vice, did they crown the Testarossa the symbol of ’80s car culture.
