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.

Ferrari set to hit new sales goal early to boost profits
Wed, Dec 13 2017As much as some of us would like to believe otherwise, building cars is a business. Most automakers are out to sell as many cars as they can build, chasing ever growing sales and profits. Ferrari is playing a different sort of game. For years, the Italian automaker has artificially limited the number of cars it produces. But the company does have plans to ramp up production to 9,000 units a year. According to Automotive News, Ferrari will hit that goal in 2018, a full year earlier than expected. A report says that in 2018, Ferrari will double the number of shifts at its plants. Sometime next year, Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne is expected to announce the automaker's first SUV, a vehicle that's sure to push that 9,000-unit limit to the max. SUV sales are up across the board. The number-one selling models at companies like Porsche, Jaguar and Lexus are all SUVs. The goal is to double profits to $2.35 billion by 2022. Limiting total output has a two-fold benefit. First, it maintains a level of exclusivity and prestige, making the cars more desirable. Secondly, it allows Ferrari to operate under different fuel economy and emissions standards than larger, mainstream automakers. It's difficult to hit some goals like that when your "entry-level" model is powered by a 591-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8. Related Video:
Modena opens new Enzo Ferrari museum
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Enzo Ferrari was one of the 20th century's racing icons, and on the 116th birthday of its founder, Ferrari opened a lavish new wing of the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. The new hall is shaped like the hood of a '50s Ferrari racer on the outside and contains a century's worth of the brand's history inside. Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo and Enzo's son, Piero Ferrari, dedicated the new building on February 18.
The Enzo Ferrari Museum existed previously as two buildings, including Enzo's childhood home and his father's workshop, but the new building was created to display the Prancing Horse's full history. Projectors display images and films of Enzo's like across its walls and floors, and the cars on display represent Ferrari's most important as a driver and constructor over the past century.
The new gallery is meant to compliment the Museo Ferrari in nearby Maranello. Enzo's museum focuses squarely on Ferrari's past, and the other concentrates on brand's present and future, while still displaying some important classic models. Both will be open every day, expect for Christmas and the New Year.
Skip Barber's favorite car is a Ferrari 275 GTB
Fri, Dec 25 2015"My name is Skip Barber," says the voice at the end of this Petrolicious video, "and I'm fortunate to drive a variety of cars. My favorite car is a Ferrari 275 GTB." If you've ever heard that name before, you'll know it carries a lot of weight, and if you've ever seen a 275 GTB up close – or driven one – you know what he's talking about. Barber is a multiple Sports Car Club of America national champion and one of only a handful of American drivers to have competed in Formula One. But he's arguably better known as the founder of his namesake racing and driving schools, which operate at dozens of locations across the country. He's usually linked most prominently to the iconic Lime Rock race course. Barber rescued the Connecticut circuit when its previous owners pulled out, putting the investment together with some alumni from his school. These days Skip is the sole remaining proprietor, but as you can see from the way he talks about it, he's justifiably proud with what he's done with the place. It's one of the few automotive race tracks in the country recognized on the US National Register of Historic Places, and still hosts top-level racing – including the United SportsCar Championship that will return for the Northeast Grand Prix this summer. Between the racing career he's had, the schools he's started, and the track he's preserved, it's safe to say that Barber has left an indelible impact on the motor racing scene in America. And at 79 years old, he's showing no signs of slowing down. Related Video:
