    I like how the air intake setup pre dates the 458 Italia by almost 20 years.

    Wow - that is pretty special. Not sure if it could justify the price to someone, but maybe if it is something they have always wanted? Cool to see more of this 'forgotten' concept. :)

    There is only one "new" Testarossa I would pay $1,000,000 for. That is the customized convertible car built for Mike Tyson. Man, if I could find that car, I would buy it yesterday. I am sure it is locked up in some museum or something. It was an amazing machine. If only I could find out where it is.

    Except this pre-dates the Enzo's release by about a decade.

    +1. I don't really like this car, to be honest. I think they totally ruined the TR. :(

    How to ruin an already not so well styled car. It wasn't easy to make it worse, but they definitely succeeded.

    And they could do proper jobs at Zagato at the time, they modified the 348 in a much more successful way and produced some of them too.

    A million bucks buys you a wide variety of very interesting F-cars.

    Looks.... interesting. However, the interior looks as if it came from a cheap tuner car. Ugly!

    very very very VERY ugly....

    Wouldn't give 30K euro for it let alone a million.

    That said I actually like the standard Testarossa. Black please :D

    It's even uglier than the original. But at least it lost the cheese graters.

    I'm not digging this one either. The tail looks kinda OK. But the nose is BMW 8 series meets BMW M1...
    I'd love to know who will put that kind of money down for this one...

    Interesting at best (I see that someone beat me to the verbalization of a Fiero resemblance!). Can't say that it moves me ... maybe in Sera Blu ...;)

    Meh, doesnt do much for me. Noone would even recognize it as a Ferrari except for the hood emblem and maybe the sound of the flat-12.

    I just finished up a nice little book about Mike Tyson that would interest you. The car in question was used for Mike's "late night errands" It would leave Tyson's Vegas home at around 8 at night and be driven at speeds north of 150mph all the way to LA. After the "errands were finished" his bodyguard would drive back to Vegas that same evening before morning so his trainers wouldn't know he had left. He claimed he made it to LA in 2 1/2 hours on the first trip. Do the math LOL. Flames were shooting out of the back of the car for extended periods of time and the trainer found out because the exhaust tips resembled "burned marshmallows" The Driveshaft was broken multiple times. Also, it was wrecked regularly. It was a track car used as a daily driver. Cool car though.
