This 1991 Ferrari Testarossa sold last year through RM Sotheby's for $148,400.
On the center console resides a quaint reminder of the times: a quintet of cassette-tape holders.
The Testarossa's 4.9-liter flat-12 engine makes 385 hp.
At nearly 6.5 feet, the Testarossa is six inches wider than the 512 BB in order to accommodate 18-inch-diameter wheels with fat tires.
The cheese-grater-like side strakes are the signature of Pininfarina's slab-sided design for the Testarossa.
The Testarossa was conceived by Emanuele Nicosia, and developed under Pininfarina design chief Leonardo Fioravanti, with the studio's Nicosia, Guido Campoli, Diego Ottina, and Ian Cameron all involved in the design.
With a steel roof and doors, and other body panels in aluminum, the Testarossa sports an aerodynamic design that results in a low coefficient of drag with high downforce, while the absence of spoilers gives it a monolithic, sculptural shape that is imposing from every angle.
A total of 7,177 examples of the Ferrari Testarossa were made over its eight-year production run.
