Ferrari Testarossa Convertible 1986 on 2040-cars
United States
|
You are currently viewing a quite rare 1986 Ferrari Testarossa. This Testarossa is 1 of 12 Ferrari Testarossa's converted by Richard Straman. A quick google search will show that Straman made his claim to fame by converting Ferrari coupes including the 365 Daytona into Ferrari Cabriolets. His work was considered the best of its time. His most iconic conversion was the Testarossa. A quick description of his conversion work includes upper and lower additions in square frame tubing and steel gusseting throughout, that worked seamlessly with the entire package which is a Cabriolet Spyder. His retracting convertible mechanisms are as well designed as the factory would make. This particular year of TR production is marked by a single sided "Flying Mirror" and only a small handful of conversions were this style. This Ferrari was bought in 1988 and commissioned in 1990 by Ken Behring, founder of the Blackhawk Museum and this car was displayed in the Museum as well. It lived its entire life in southern California. There is no rust and little degradation of materials within and without the car. This car has had all services including the major engine out and updated transmission replacement accomplished within the past 18 months. The paint and interior are in outstanding condition and the documented mileage is 9500. Car fax and Ferrari Market letter both back up these claims. This car is the real deal, it is the car that Enzo actually made only one real one of. That one was made for the president of Fiat back in the 1980's. In Rosso Corsa red with a black leather interior , the appeal is unsurpassable. This car is fully sorted and drives as it should, a supercar of the 80's.

Celebrating the Ferrari F40 and the man who raced it
Mon, 07 Jul 2014The Ferrari F40 has become one of the iconic cars of the last 50 years. It presaged the supercars of the future with its extensive use of carbon fiber and turbocharged engine, but it was also old school with no traction control, stability control or even anti-lock supervision to save the driver if they got in over their head. In its latest video, XCar Films takes a look at the F40 through the lens of a man in the UK who specializes in keeping them on the road and occasionally races these quintessential sports cars.
John Pogson has spent his entire life surrounded by engines. His father was a transport manager for a trucking company and he used to accompany him out on repairs. When he was old enough, John started repairing vehicles at a Lancia dealer, and from there, he started working for Ferrari. Eventually, he saved up enough money to open his own, independent Italian car garage. His new business proved successful, and Pogson's customers started asking him to race their Ferraris, including the F40 - something he did with great success. How could you say no to that opportunity?
While Italian cars are his specialty, Pogson also has a soft spot for all performance cars. The video shows him driving his AC Cobra with a claimed 600 horsepower and doing some smoky donuts in it. Scroll down to learn more about the F40 from one of the people that knows it best.
Twin LaFerraris roar around Fiorano
Wed, 18 Sep 2013What could possibly be better than a Ferrari LaFerrari running at full clip on the Italian brand's Fiorano test track? The answer is obviously two LaFerraris, both doing hot laps. So far as we know, this is the first time we've had an unadulterated listen - outside of the car, that is - to the latest Ferrari hypercar when it's being ran hard. There's no voiceover or music, just that righteous, hybridized V12.
We're told that the first LaFerrari, without camo, is a production model, while the other car is said to be testing a different exhaust setup. It sounds slightly different, and according to the videographer, it was noticeably louder than the production car. Take a look below for the full 2:48 of Italian V12 noise.
Dubai police add Ferrari FF to keep Lambo company
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Supercars are a sulky lot by nature. Leave them to their own devices and they'll quickly grow despondent. That's why so many owners have more than one exotic in the stable. The Dubai Police seem to have caught on to that fact, having just added a Ferrari FF to help keep the force's new Lamborghini Aventador company. The duo will patrol the city's more affluent regions to promote the area's image as a mecca for money.
Mission: accomplished.
Of course, the Dubai PD certainly isn't the first law enforcement agency to adopt flashy cruisers, and car gods willing, it won't be the last. There was the Nissan GT-R gussied up for police duty, as well as the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and the Mitsubishi Evo X, but we have to say the DPD certainly has the most lust-worthy stable at the moment.
