    Hello,

    Just bought a 1991 Testarossa in white w/ tan interior. I was speaking with an informed source who told me that only 1 percent or less of all the Testarossa's produced came in white. I was wondering if indeed that is the case.

    Regards………….

    Anyway with your username you should have a black one ;-), seriously I'm keeping a registry of the TR and out of 563 cars I have up to now 32 are white which is approximately 5.6%.

    Rank by popularity in the registry

    1st=red-367
    2nd=black-71
    3rd=white-32
    4th=yellow-30

    Awesome! Thank you for the information. I guess that puts the 1 percent issue to rest. Many thanks!!

    Cheers.....

    White is nice, black is really nice! Don't know why anyone would want a yellow one ;)

    That color breakdown is very interesting- Thanks for the post

    I'm a black fan myself, but all the colors look nice

    Red is a no brainer, white is undeniable, Yellow is hott on these cars and most any of the odd colors look Good too

    It's really hard to go wrong with any color- It depends on what floats your boat...

    Forbes also had a money green Diablo, early 2wd car as I recall

    ETA a quick Google check reveals that the Diablo in question was apparently never owned by Mr. Forbes, so strike that from the record
