The AMC Pacer is a two-door compact car produced in the United States by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the 1975 through the 1980 model years. The Pacer was also made in Mexico by Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos (VAM) from 1976 until 1979 and positioned as a premium-priced luxury car.

Design work began in 1971. The rounded shape and large glass area were unusual compared with the three-box designs of the era. The Pacer's width is equal to full-sized domestic vehicles at the time, and this unique design feature was promoted by AMC as "the first wide small car." The Pacer was the first modern, mass-produced, U.S. automobile design using the cab forward concept.

Reviews upon its introduction used descriptions like "futuristic, bold, and unique." The Pacer featured an aerodynamic "jellybean" styling, numerous innovations such as different door lengths, and was noted "as a space-efficient car, seemingly from the future.". The Pacer stood out at a time when "Detroit was still rolling out boat-sized gas guzzlers."

A 1976 AMC Pacer Hatchback was a featured car in the 1992 movie Wayne's World, and again in the 1993 movie Wayne's World 2. The car is called the "mirthmobile" and is integral to the movie references for the culture as Wayne and Garth "are performing the seventies for the nineties." The Pacer used in both movies was painted bright blue with flame decals, with stock steel wheels and wheel covers in the front, and aftermarket chrome-plated steel wheels in the rear.

Although the car appears throughout both movies, it is seen the most in the introductory scene of the first Wayne's World movie.

In 1978, the revised Series 2 (or S2) Esprit was introduced. External changes included intake and cooling ducts added behind the rear quarter windows, taillights from the Rover SD1, and an integrated front spoiler. S2 Esprits also had 360 mm (14 in) Speedline alloy wheels designed by Lotus.

In 1980 the Essex Turbo Esprit was launched. This special edition model wore the blue, red and chrome livery of the Essex Overseas Petroleum Corporation, the sponsor of Team Lotus from 1979 to 1981. While Lotus dealer Bell and Colvill had been offering turbo conversions for the S2 Esprit from as early as 1978, the Essex Turbo Esprit was the first factory turbocharged Esprit. The Essex Turbo Esprit received the dry sump type 910 engine which has a power output of 213 PS (157 kW; 210 hp) at 6,250 rpm and 200 lb⋅ft (271 N⋅m) of torque at 4,500 rpm. Acceleration from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) could be achieved in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 241 km/h (150 mph).

The chassis and rear suspension were redesigned, with an upper link added at the rear to alleviate strain on the half-shafts. The brakes were also improved. Giugiaro designed an aerodynamic body kit for the car, with a rear lip spoiler, prominent louvered rear hatch, more substantial bumpers, a deeper front airdam, and air ducts in the sills just ahead of the new three-piece 15-inch Compomotive rear wheels. Inside scarlet leather combined with a roof-mounted Panasonic stereo for a dramatic environment. 45 Essex Turbo Esprit cars were built, interspersed and followed by a number of non-Essex-liveried but otherwise identical specification dry sump turbo cars.

Two Essex-spec Turbo Esprits were featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. A white one destroyed early in the film and a copper-red model appearing later.

Lee Majors did pretty well for himself, moving on from the Six Million Dollar Man to The Fall Guy who was the cool stuntman by day, and since his dangerous way of making a living could not make him enough money, he moonlighted as a bounty hunter.

For the movie stunts Colt Seavers relies on his physical prowess, for the bit where he needs to chase the bad guys down and haul them in to get the bond money, it's his GMC trucks that do all the hard work. It leaps, it flies, it jumps and does everything with such incredible finesse, you want that truck now.

While it all looks like one indestructible monolith, in actuality, there were multiple trucks used for the shoot, and a great many of them never made it out of the “stunts”. Of course, all of them were GMCs.

In the first couple of seasons of The Fall Guy, the truck you see Colt Seavers driving is a 1980 GMC 4X4 K25. To make the truck look way more capable and athletic, it rode on a six-inch lift kit and also had a chromed-up rollbar bearing high-intensity lights. It also wore 35-inch Dick Cepek off-road tires that were knobbly and looked as if they could ride over just about any other car on the road, and that did happen a couple of times on the show.

Later, the truck became a 1982 model and wore a Sierra Grande trim package, now powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. In the later seasons, it was this 1982 GMC K-2500 Sierra Grande Wideside, a brute of a truck that jumped over things as a ‘Roo does, rode on two wheels, and did everything a normal car could never do, unless it was being driven by Lee Majors.

This Ford Escort MkI Rally car was one of many in the sixth installment of the 'Fast & Furious' frachise.

What's the movie about?

I don't know. I watched the first few, but they have become increasingly ridiculous. Biggest drawcard are the cars, stunts, and car stunts. Some pretty ladies help too, but the plot is mostly thin on storyline, and thin on meaningful dialog.

The Escort is a cool car though. This first generation was known as the 'Dogbone' Escort, due to the shape of the grille and headlamp surrounds. Launched in the late 1960s, the Escort also proved to be an effective RWD World Rally Championship Racer in 'Mexico', 'RS1600' and 'RS2000' guises. Not overly fast by today's standards, the sporty Escorts were appreciated at the time for their relative affordability.

Star of not one but two "Fast & Furious" films. Driven by actor Paul Walker in the first entry in the "Fast Saga," this car was used for multiple interior and exterior shots during the filming of 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" and 2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious," according to the extensive documentation that accompanies the car and a Certificate of Authenticity.

The car was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, CA, for the first movie and brought back and modified by the original builder for its role as "Slap Jack's Supra" in the sequel. The Supra would later be returned to original form, with the resplendent Lamborghini Diablo Candy Orange pearl paint and famed Troy Lee-designed "Nuclear Gladiator" motif along the side. To complete the look, the Supra features a Bomex front spoiler and side skirts, TRD-style hood, APR aluminum biplane rear wing, and 19-inch Dazz Motorsport Racing Hart M5 Tuner wheels. This example is a factory turbo car powered by the famed 2JZ-GTE 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The Ferrari Testarossa (Type F110) is a 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car manufactured by Ferrari, which went into production in 1984 as the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer. The Pininfarina-designed car was originally produced from 1984 until 1991, with two model revisions following the end of Testarossa production called the 512 TR and F512 M.

The Testarossa traces its roots back to the faults of the 1981 512 BBi. The problems that the Testarossa was conceived to fix included a cabin that got increasingly hot from the indoor plumbing that ran between the front-mounted radiator and the midships-mounted engine and a lack of luggage space. To fix these problems the Testarossa was designed to be larger than its predecessor. For instance, at 1,976 mm (77.8 in) wide, the Testarossa was half a foot wider than the Boxer.

Miami Vice

Miami Vice ran for five seasons from September 1984 until January 1990. During the first two seasons, the show featured a replica 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 built on the chassis of a Chevrolet Corvette (C3).

Ferrari filed a lawsuit against the show’s crew, Coachcraft and others to stop production. Why? Trademark infringement. Ferrari considered using and selling replicas to be an infringement on its brand name and creative IP.

As a solution to the lawsuit, Ferrari and the production crew collaborated on an interesting way to keep the marque front and centre. Ferrari actually donated two then-new Testarossa Monospecchios painted black with beige leather interiors for use on the program, but Miami Vice producer Michael Mann requested that the cars to be repainted white so they would be more visible during the show’s many night scenes.

As part of a significant product placement movie appearance by AMC, a 1974 Hornet X Hatchback is featured in the James Bond film: The Man with the Golden Gun, where Roger Moore made his second appearance as the British secret agent.

The film's "most outrageous sequence" begins with Sheriff J.W. Pepper, who, on holiday in Thailand with his wife, is admiring a new, red AMC Hornet in a Bangkok showroom. He is about to test drive the car. The action begins as James Bond commandeers the Hornet from the dealership with Pepper in it for a car chase. The Hornet performs an "airborne pirouette as it makes a hold-your-breath jump across a broken bridge".

The stunt car is significantly modified with a redesigned chassis to place the steering wheel in the center and a lower stance, as well as larger wheel wells, compared to the stock Hornet used in all the other movie shots. The 360-degree mid-air twisting corkscrew was captured in just one filming sequence. Seven tests were performed in advance before the one jump performed by an uncredited British stuntman "Bumps" Williard for the film with six (or eight, depending on the source) cameras simultaneously rolling. Two frogmen were positioned in the water, as well as an emergency vehicle and a crane were ready, but not needed. The Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) was used for computer modeling to calculate the stunt. The modeling called for a 1,460 kg (3,219 lb) weight of car and driver, the exact angles and the 15.86-metre (52 ft) distance between the ramps, as well as the 64-kilometre-per-hour (40 mph) launch speed.

Since it’s one of the most popular classic movies ever, many people have seen Jurassic Park already. Or perhaps its modern follow-up movie, Jurassic World.

In Jurassic Park, tourists visit a theme park with dinosaurs that the scientists managed to bring back to life. The Ford Explorer was the most memorable vehicle that the tourists used for off-roading around the park.

Spoilers ahead (for this decade old movie):

When the T-Rex breaks free of its enclosure, it starts attacking people in the Ford Explorer. The cool thing is that this 1993 Explorer was heavily altered to enable this scene to work its magic.

The Explorer was modified to be able to be driven from the trunk! This created a driverless illusion.

A large chunk of the roof was also replaced by a special full-length sunroof. This allowed for the iconic shot of the T-Rex peering into the car, where the two movie characters screamed in terror.

Along with the Explorer, the Jeep Wrangler was also featured in the film. Interestingly, in the original book series, the vehicles were a set of electric Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles.

The director Steven Spielberg had a deal with Ford Motor Company, though, hence the appearance of Ford cars instead.

Funnily enough, the Explorer vehicles in the movie weren’t exactly the best cars to drive when escaping from a T-Rex. At a measly 12 mph max speed, the T-Rex would definitely catch up.

Chomp chomp!

In 1978, the revised Series 2 (or S2) Esprit was introduced. External changes included intake and cooling ducts added behind the rear quarter windows, taillights from the Rover SD1, and an integrated front spoiler. S2 Esprits also had 360 mm (14 in) Speedline alloy wheels designed by Lotus.

In 1980 the Essex Turbo Esprit was launched. This special edition model wore the blue, red and chrome livery of the Essex Overseas Petroleum Corporation, the sponsor of Team Lotus from 1979 to 1981. While Lotus dealer Bell and Colvill had been offering turbo conversions for the S2 Esprit from as early as 1978, the Essex Turbo Esprit was the first factory turbocharged Esprit. The Essex Turbo Esprit received the dry sump type 910 engine which has a power output of 213 PS (157 kW; 210 hp) at 6,250 rpm and 200 lb⋅ft (271 N⋅m) of torque at 4,500 rpm. Acceleration from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) could be achieved in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 241 km/h (150 mph).

The chassis and rear suspension were redesigned, with an upper link added at the rear to alleviate strain on the half-shafts. The brakes were also improved. Giugiaro designed an aerodynamic body kit for the car, with a rear lip spoiler, prominent louvered rear hatch, more substantial bumpers, a deeper front airdam, and air ducts in the sills just ahead of the new three-piece 15-inch Compomotive rear wheels. Inside scarlet leather combined with a roof-mounted Panasonic stereo for a dramatic environment. 45 Essex Turbo Esprit cars were built, interspersed and followed by a number of non-Essex-liveried but otherwise identical specification dry sump turbo cars.

Two Essex-spec Turbo Esprits were featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. A white one destroyed early in the film and a copper-red model appearing later.

Star of not one but two "Fast & Furious" films. Driven by actor Paul Walker in the first entry in the "Fast Saga," this car was used for multiple interior and exterior shots during the filming of 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" and 2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious," according to the extensive documentation that accompanies the car and a Certificate of Authenticity.

The car was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, CA, for the first movie and brought back and modified by the original builder for its role as "Slap Jack's Supra" in the sequel. The Supra would later be returned to original form, with the resplendent Lamborghini Diablo Candy Orange pearl paint and famed Troy Lee-designed "Nuclear Gladiator" motif along the side. To complete the look, the Supra features a Bomex front spoiler and side skirts, TRD-style hood, APR aluminum biplane rear wing, and 19-inch Dazz Motorsport Racing Hart M5 Tuner wheels. This example is a factory turbo car powered by the famed 2JZ-GTE 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The Ferrari Testarossa (Type F110) is a 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car manufactured by Ferrari, which went into production in 1984 as the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer. The Pininfarina-designed car was originally produced from 1984 until 1991, with two model revisions following the end of Testarossa production called the 512 TR and F512 M.

The Testarossa traces its roots back to the faults of the 1981 512 BBi. The problems that the Testarossa was conceived to fix included a cabin that got increasingly hot from the indoor plumbing that ran between the front-mounted radiator and the midships-mounted engine and a lack of luggage space. To fix these problems the Testarossa was designed to be larger than its predecessor. For instance, at 1,976 mm (77.8 in) wide, the Testarossa was half a foot wider than the Boxer.

Miami Vice

Miami Vice ran for five seasons from September 1984 until January 1990. During the first two seasons, the show featured a replica 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 built on the chassis of a Chevrolet Corvette (C3).

Ferrari filed a lawsuit against the show’s crew, Coachcraft and others to stop production. Why? Trademark infringement. Ferrari considered using and selling replicas to be an infringement on its brand name and creative IP.

As a solution to the lawsuit, Ferrari and the production crew collaborated on an interesting way to keep the marque front and centre. Ferrari actually donated two then-new Testarossa Monospecchios painted black with beige leather interiors for use on the program, but Miami Vice producer Michael Mann requested that the cars to be repainted white so they would be more visible during the show’s many night scenes.

The AMC Pacer is a two-door compact car produced in the United States by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the 1975 through the 1980 model years. The Pacer was also made in Mexico by Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos (VAM) from 1976 until 1979 and positioned as a premium-priced luxury car.

Design work began in 1971. The rounded shape and large glass area were unusual compared with the three-box designs of the era. The Pacer's width is equal to full-sized domestic vehicles at the time, and this unique design feature was promoted by AMC as "the first wide small car." The Pacer was the first modern, mass-produced, U.S. automobile design using the cab forward concept.

Reviews upon its introduction used descriptions like "futuristic, bold, and unique." The Pacer featured an aerodynamic "jellybean" styling, numerous innovations such as different door lengths, and was noted "as a space-efficient car, seemingly from the future.". The Pacer stood out at a time when "Detroit was still rolling out boat-sized gas guzzlers."

A 1976 AMC Pacer Hatchback was a featured car in the 1992 movie Wayne's World, and again in the 1993 movie Wayne's World 2. The car is called the "mirthmobile" and is integral to the movie references for the culture as Wayne and Garth "are performing the seventies for the nineties." The Pacer used in both movies was painted bright blue with flame decals, with stock steel wheels and wheel covers in the front, and aftermarket chrome-plated steel wheels in the rear.

Although the car appears throughout both movies, it is seen the most in the introductory scene of the first Wayne's World movie.

Lee Majors did pretty well for himself, moving on from the Six Million Dollar Man to The Fall Guy who was the cool stuntman by day, and since his dangerous way of making a living could not make him enough money, he moonlighted as a bounty hunter.

For the movie stunts Colt Seavers relies on his physical prowess, for the bit where he needs to chase the bad guys down and haul them in to get the bond money, it's his GMC trucks that do all the hard work. It leaps, it flies, it jumps and does everything with such incredible finesse, you want that truck now.

While it all looks like one indestructible monolith, in actuality, there were multiple trucks used for the shoot, and a great many of them never made it out of the “stunts”. Of course, all of them were GMCs.

In the first couple of seasons of The Fall Guy, the truck you see Colt Seavers driving is a 1980 GMC 4X4 K25. To make the truck look way more capable and athletic, it rode on a six-inch lift kit and also had a chromed-up rollbar bearing high-intensity lights. It also wore 35-inch Dick Cepek off-road tires that were knobbly and looked as if they could ride over just about any other car on the road, and that did happen a couple of times on the show.

Later, the truck became a 1982 model and wore a Sierra Grande trim package, now powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. In the later seasons, it was this 1982 GMC K-2500 Sierra Grande Wideside, a brute of a truck that jumped over things as a ‘Roo does, rode on two wheels, and did everything a normal car could never do, unless it was being driven by Lee Majors.

This Ford Escort MkI Rally car was one of many in the sixth installment of the 'Fast & Furious' frachise.

What's the movie about?

I don't know. I watched the first few, but they have become increasingly ridiculous. Biggest drawcard are the cars, stunts, and car stunts. Some pretty ladies help too, but the plot is mostly thin on storyline, and thin on meaningful dialog.

The Escort is a cool car though. This first generation was known as the 'Dogbone' Escort, due to the shape of the grille and headlamp surrounds. Launched in the late 1960s, the Escort also proved to be an effective RWD World Rally Championship Racer in 'Mexico', 'RS1600' and 'RS2000' guises. Not overly fast by today's standards, the sporty Escorts were appreciated at the time for their relative affordability.

As part of a significant product placement movie appearance by AMC, a 1974 Hornet X Hatchback is featured in the James Bond film: The Man with the Golden Gun, where Roger Moore made his second appearance as the British secret agent.

The film's "most outrageous sequence" begins with Sheriff J.W. Pepper, who, on holiday in Thailand with his wife, is admiring a new, red AMC Hornet in a Bangkok showroom. He is about to test drive the car. The action begins as James Bond commandeers the Hornet from the dealership with Pepper in it for a car chase. The Hornet performs an "airborne pirouette as it makes a hold-your-breath jump across a broken bridge".

The stunt car is significantly modified with a redesigned chassis to place the steering wheel in the center and a lower stance, as well as larger wheel wells, compared to the stock Hornet used in all the other movie shots. The 360-degree mid-air twisting corkscrew was captured in just one filming sequence. Seven tests were performed in advance before the one jump performed by an uncredited British stuntman "Bumps" Williard for the film with six (or eight, depending on the source) cameras simultaneously rolling. Two frogmen were positioned in the water, as well as an emergency vehicle and a crane were ready, but not needed. The Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) was used for computer modeling to calculate the stunt. The modeling called for a 1,460 kg (3,219 lb) weight of car and driver, the exact angles and the 15.86-metre (52 ft) distance between the ramps, as well as the 64-kilometre-per-hour (40 mph) launch speed.

Since it’s one of the most popular classic movies ever, many people have seen Jurassic Park already. Or perhaps its modern follow-up movie, Jurassic World.

In Jurassic Park, tourists visit a theme park with dinosaurs that the scientists managed to bring back to life. The Ford Explorer was the most memorable vehicle that the tourists used for off-roading around the park.

Spoilers ahead (for this decade old movie):

When the T-Rex breaks free of its enclosure, it starts attacking people in the Ford Explorer. The cool thing is that this 1993 Explorer was heavily altered to enable this scene to work its magic.

The Explorer was modified to be able to be driven from the trunk! This created a driverless illusion.

A large chunk of the roof was also replaced by a special full-length sunroof. This allowed for the iconic shot of the T-Rex peering into the car, where the two movie characters screamed in terror.

Along with the Explorer, the Jeep Wrangler was also featured in the film. Interestingly, in the original book series, the vehicles were a set of electric Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles.

The director Steven Spielberg had a deal with Ford Motor Company, though, hence the appearance of Ford cars instead.

Funnily enough, the Explorer vehicles in the movie weren’t exactly the best cars to drive when escaping from a T-Rex. At a measly 12 mph max speed, the T-Rex would definitely catch up.

Chomp chomp!

The Pacer was the first modern, mass-produced, U.S. automobile design using the cab forward concept.

Reviews upon its introduction used descriptions like "futuristic, bold, and unique." The Pacer featured an aerodynamic "jellybean" styling, numerous innovations such as different door lengths, and was noted "as a space-efficient car, seemingly from the future.". The Pacer stood out at a time when "Detroit was still rolling out boat-sized gas guzzlers."

A 1976 AMC Pacer Hatchback was a featured car in the 1992 movie Wayne's World, and again in the 1993 movie Wayne's World 2. The car is called the "mirthmobile" and is integral to the movie references for the culture as Wayne and Garth "are performing the seventies for the nineties." The Pacer used in both movies was painted bright blue with flame decals, with stock steel wheels and wheel covers in the front, and aftermarket chrome-plated steel wheels in the rear.

Although the car appears throughout both movies, it is seen the most in the introductory scene of the first Wayne's World movie.

Star of not one but two "Fast & Furious" films. Driven by actor Paul Walker in the first entry in the "Fast Saga," this car was used for multiple interior and exterior shots during the filming of 2001's "The Fast and the Furious" and 2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious," according to the extensive documentation that accompanies the car and a Certificate of Authenticity.

The car was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, CA, for the first movie and brought back and modified by the original builder for its role as "Slap Jack's Supra" in the sequel. The Supra would later be returned to original form, with the resplendent Lamborghini Diablo Candy Orange pearl paint and famed Troy Lee-designed "Nuclear Gladiator" motif along the side. To complete the look, the Supra features a Bomex front spoiler and side skirts, TRD-style hood, APR aluminum biplane rear wing, and 19-inch Dazz Motorsport Racing Hart M5 Tuner wheels. This example is a factory turbo car powered by the famed 2JZ-GTE 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Since it’s one of the most popular classic movies ever, many people have seen Jurassic Park already. Or perhaps its modern follow-up movie, Jurassic World.

In Jurassic Park, tourists visit a theme park with dinosaurs that the scientists managed to bring back to life. The Ford Explorer was the most memorable vehicle that the tourists used for off-roading around the park.

Spoilers ahead (for this decade old movie):

When the T-Rex breaks free of its enclosure, it starts attacking people in the Ford Explorer. The cool thing is that this 1993 Explorer was heavily altered to enable this scene to work its magic.

The Explorer was modified to be able to be driven from the trunk! This created a driverless illusion.

A large chunk of the roof was also replaced by a special full-length sunroof. This allowed for the iconic shot of the T-Rex peering into the car, where the two movie characters screamed in terror.

Along with the Explorer, the Jeep Wrangler was also featured in the film. Interestingly, in the original book series, the vehicles were a set of electric Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles.

The director Steven Spielberg had a deal with Ford Motor Company, though, hence the appearance of Ford cars instead.

Funnily enough, the Explorer vehicles in the movie weren’t exactly the best cars to drive when escaping from a T-Rex. At a measly 12 mph max speed, the T-Rex would definitely catch up.

Chomp chomp!

This Ford Escort MkI Rally car was one of many in the sixth installment of the 'Fast & Furious' frachise.

What's the movie about?

I don't know. I watched the first few, but they have become increasingly ridiculous. Biggest drawcard are the cars, stunts, and car stunts. Some pretty ladies help too, but the plot is mostly thin on storyline, and thin on meaningful dialog.

The Escort is a cool car though. This first generation was known as the 'Dogbone' Escort, due to the shape of the grille and headlamp surrounds. Launched in the late 1960s, the Escort also proved to be an effective RWD World Rally Championship Racer in 'Mexico', 'RS1600' and 'RS2000' guises. Not overly fast by today's standards, the sporty Escorts were appreciated at the time for their relative affordability.

As part of a significant product placement movie appearance by AMC, a 1974 Hornet X Hatchback is featured in the James Bond film: The Man with the Golden Gun, where Roger Moore made his second appearance as the British secret agent.

The film's "most outrageous sequence" begins with Sheriff J.W. Pepper, who, on holiday in Thailand with his wife, is admiring a new, red AMC Hornet in a Bangkok showroom. He is about to test drive the car. The action begins as James Bond commandeers the Hornet from the dealership with Pepper in it for a car chase. The Hornet performs an "airborne pirouette as it makes a hold-your-breath jump across a broken bridge".

The stunt car is significantly modified with a redesigned chassis to place the steering wheel in the center and a lower stance, as well as larger wheel wells, compared to the stock Hornet used in all the other movie shots. The 360-degree mid-air twisting corkscrew was captured in just one filming sequence. Seven tests were performed in advance before the one jump performed by an uncredited British stuntman "Bumps" Williard for the film with six (or eight, depending on the source) cameras simultaneously rolling. Two frogmen were positioned in the water, as well as an emergency vehicle and a crane were ready, but not needed. The Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) was used for computer modeling to calculate the stunt. The modeling called for a 1,460 kg (3,219 lb) weight of car and driver, the exact angles and the 15.86-metre (52 ft) distance between the ramps, as well as the 64-kilometre-per-hour (40 mph) launch speed.

The Ferrari Testarossa (Type F110) is a 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car manufactured by Ferrari, which went into production in 1984 as the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer. The Pininfarina-designed car was originally produced from 1984 until 1991, with two model revisions following the end of Testarossa production called the 512 TR and F512 M.

The Testarossa traces its roots back to the faults of the 1981 512 BBi. The problems that the Testarossa was conceived to fix included a cabin that got increasingly hot from the indoor plumbing that ran between the front-mounted radiator and the midships-mounted engine and a lack of luggage space. To fix these problems the Testarossa was designed to be larger than its predecessor. For instance, at 1,976 mm (77.8 in) wide, the Testarossa was half a foot wider than the Boxer.

Miami Vice

Miami Vice ran for five seasons from September 1984 until January 1990. During the first two seasons, the show featured a replica 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 built on the chassis of a Chevrolet Corvette (C3).

Ferrari filed a lawsuit against the show’s crew, Coachcraft and others to stop production. Why? Trademark infringement. Ferrari considered using and selling replicas to be an infringement on its brand name and creative IP.

As a solution to the lawsuit, Ferrari and the production crew collaborated on an interesting way to keep the marque front and centre. Ferrari actually donated two then-new Testarossa Monospecchios painted black with beige leather interiors for use on the program, but Miami Vice producer Michael Mann requested that the cars to be repainted white so they would be more visible during the show’s many night scenes.

In 1978, the revised Series 2 (or S2) Esprit was introduced. External changes included intake and cooling ducts added behind the rear quarter windows, taillights from the Rover SD1, and an integrated front spoiler. S2 Esprits also had 360 mm (14 in) Speedline alloy wheels designed by Lotus.

In 1980 the Essex Turbo Esprit was launched. This special edition model wore the blue, red and chrome livery of the Essex Overseas Petroleum Corporation, the sponsor of Team Lotus from 1979 to 1981. While Lotus dealer Bell and Colvill had been offering turbo conversions for the S2 Esprit from as early as 1978, the Essex Turbo Esprit was the first factory turbocharged Esprit. The Essex Turbo Esprit received the dry sump type 910 engine which has a power output of 213 PS (157 kW; 210 hp) at 6,250 rpm and 200 lb⋅ft (271 N⋅m) of torque at 4,500 rpm. Acceleration from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) could be achieved in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 241 km/h (150 mph).

The chassis and rear suspension were redesigned, with an upper link added at the rear to alleviate strain on the half-shafts. The brakes were also improved. Giugiaro designed an aerodynamic body kit for the car, with a rear lip spoiler, prominent louvered rear hatch, more substantial bumpers, a deeper front airdam, and air ducts in the sills just ahead of the new three-piece 15-inch Compomotive rear wheels. Inside scarlet leather combined with a roof-mounted Panasonic stereo for a dramatic environment. 45 Essex Turbo Esprit cars were built, interspersed and followed by a number of non-Essex-liveried but otherwise identical specification dry sump turbo cars.

Two Essex-spec Turbo Esprits were featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. A white one destroyed early in the film and a copper-red model appearing later.
