As crude as this particular diecast may look, the sad fact is that its probably one of the most realistic 1/64 models HTI now import/produce. Their overwhelming switch to overtly generic castings means I barely ever buy any of their products anymore which is even more galling as so many decent other budget brands have been pushed aside for them!
Only a scant few styling cues tells you this blue coupe is indeed loosely based on the glorious Ferrari Testarossa, I don't think Tomica or Bburago have anything to worry about ;-p
Almost certainly originally would have been part of a larger set.
Car: Ferrari Testarossa.
Years of production: 1985-1991.
Date taken: 14th September 2014.
Location: Easter Compton, South Gloucestershire, UK.
In recent times I've been using more and more brick-built windows. For the Testarossa model they came in very handy, because they add much needed structural strength to the roof.
This is the 1st Testarossa Spyder i have seen, never knew Ferrari made this model of the Testarossa. Seen at Paris Prestige Cars.
I was never really into cars growing up, and even if I were, it was the '90s, so the Testarossa (or its later variants, the TR and the F512M) would never have found itself postered on my bedroom wall. As an adult, though, I'm absolutely in love with the last of the sharp-line and angular Ferraris, before the shapes became organic and curvy.
The inspiration for this build came just a few days ago, as one stopped literally right in front of me at an intersection as I was walking to the subway from work. My jaw must have hit the ground, to see it--and hear that V12--that close was awe-inspiring.
some brief introduction from
auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/past-models/tes...
"THE STORY
The name Testa Rossa is Italian for Red Head, and refers to the colour that the camshaft covers were painted on the sports racing models. Naturally the modern bearer of the name followed suit with red painted camshaft covers. It made its debut in the glittering surroundings of the Lido nightclub on the Champs Elysées in Paris, on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon, where invited press and guests were given a gala preview prior to its public launch the following day.
The Pininfarina designed replacement for the Boxer series was visually radically different from its predecessor, although it still featured a mid mounted flat twelve engine as its motive power. Gone was the sharp nosed wedge profile, to be replaced by a much softer rounded front end. The front wings flowed into one of the models most distinctive styling features, the deeply straked door panels that grew in width towards their trailing edge, before blending into very wide rear wings. At the rear, the paired circular tail light arrangement that had been a styling feature for over a decade was gone. In their place was a full width horizontally slatted satin black louvre hiding rectangular combination light units.
The reason for the great rear girth and the body colour straked door louvres, was the twin side mounted water radiators which received their cooling air via the door intakes. The matt black egg crate “grille” in the nose of the car was a dummy to provide a link with Ferrari tradition, bordered by combination driving, side, turn indicator light assemblies, with paired headlights in retractable pods on the upper face of the nose. The repositioning of the radiators provided the benefit of additional luggage space in the nose, useable luggage space being something that had been a shortcoming of the Boxer series. Although the front track was only 12mm greater than that of the 512 BBi, the rear track increased by a massive 105mm, making the car wedge shape in plan rather than in profile."
It's the same year as I was born.
The cork bound menu at our local winery catches the dying rays of a beautiful sunset through a rapidly diminishing 2013 Cuvee Los Gatos by Testarossa Monterey County Pinot Noir. According to the vintage notes :Cuvee Los Gatos is a special wine made by Testarossa Winery to pay homage to the town of Los Gatos, where the historic winery was built in 1888 and continues to produce wine today
