by AutoExpert | 7 October, 2021
Ferrari Testarossa has been given a major facelift by Swiss design house Officine Fioravanti, offering better performance and a slew of modern amenities. There are bespoke equipment enhancements, including revisions to the chassis, aerodynamics, and motor, according to Officine Fioravanti.
The restomod project is called The Testarossa by Officine Fioravanti. The engine is a modified version of the original 4.9-liter flat 12 from the 1980s supercar, providing 510-hp and 442 lb-ft of torque for a stated top speed of 201mph.
Most mechanical aspects have been improved, according to Officine Fioravanti, resulting in driving dynamics absolutely worthy of a current super sports vehicle.
For improved stability, a new titanium exhaust system has been added, as well as anti-lock braking and traction control mechanisms. Electronically adjustable Ohlins shock absorbers and a front-lift system capable of lifting the nose by 70 mm are also included in the restomod.
Brembo racing brakes, adjustable anti-roll bars, and updated alloy wheels (17 inches at front, 18 inches at rear) covered in Michelin GT3 Class race tires have also been installed, making Ferrari Testarossa more pleasurable, safe, and precise, according to the company.
Along with the upgrades, Fioravanti has reduced the Testarossa's curb weight by 130 kg. The model's aerodynamics have also been enhanced, thanks to its fully flat bottom. The interior is finished in Italian leather, with aluminum elements replacing the Testarossa's plastic counterparts, and a modernized audio system featuring Apple CarPlay, a USB-C port, and modern radio.
A 1980s-style cell phone is also found within the cockpit, which links to the automobile through Bluetooth and can subsequently be used to make and receive phone calls. Previously, Ferrari Testarossa restomod had been noticed while it was in the testing phase on the circuit. Purchase and pricing information has not yet been released by Officine Fioravanti, although it will in due time.
