- 4.9-liter DOHC 12-cylinder engine producing 390 horsepower - 16,241 miles - 1 of 421 produced for North America (1985-1986) - Racing-inspired magnesium single-bolt “knockoff” wheels - Rosso Corsa exterior - Black leather interior

The Ferrari Testarossa made its debut at the Lido nightclub on the Champs Elysees in Paris in 1984. It quickly launched into fame, becoming the most popular Ferrari produced at the time. The Testarossa was fitted with a 5L flat-12 engine which produced 390 horsepower, iconic long side strakes ("cheese graters" or "egg slicers"), and twin side-mounted radiators.

This incredibly rare 1985 Ferrari Testarossa Monospecchio is a highly sought-after early production example exactly like the one debuted in 1984.  It features a single mirror mounted high on the driver’s side A-pillar. As a result, the car was nicknamed the “flying mirror” and is widely considered to be the most attractive and collectible of all the standard Testarossas.  In total, only 1,497 “Flying Mirror” cars were produced between 1984 and 1986 for the worldwide market, only 421 came to North America.  Another unique feature of this spec, found only in early model years (1984-1987), is the racing-inspired magnesium single-bolt “knockoff” wheels, which were updated to the standard Ferrari five-bolt pattern in mid-1988. 1985 was the inaugural year for Testarossa sales in North America, and the only year in which a third brake light (located on the engine cover) was not featured, making this spec all the more rare. 

This particular car is finished in a classic “Rosso Corsa” paint with a black leather interior.  A full engine out and timing belt servicing was completed by Ferrari of Tampa Bay in Spring of 2022.  This vehicle is highly original and believed to be a single owner car.  16,241 miles from new. Contact us for additional information or to make an offer.
