The Ferrari Testarossa took the 1980s by storm and still dominates the car sphere heavily, with many gearheads begging to call one their own.

Now, after owning one in the 21st century, this car enthusiast revealed what it’s really like to drive one.

From the sound to the gas consumption, the driver detailed aspects that they’d noted over the course of a year.

And, after the review, the Ferrari owner came to one big conclusion.

Here’s why the Ferrari Testarossa is so special:

Ferrari is no stranger to making superfast cars, and the Testarossa is a product of the brand’s best engineering qualities.

The Testarossa returned to the world in 1984 with larger side intakes and brand new side strakes that are instantly recognizable by supercar lovers all over the world.

Powered by a V12 engine and with a top speed of 180mph, the car is a cult classic, and one owner managed to bag themselves a white version.

Taking to Reddit, blueman1030 shared what they really thought of the car after driving it in all of its glory.

From the steering to the smell and the cabin temperature, they jokingly mentioned everything that they had experienced.

“When it’s cold, second gear is unusable.

“Two temperatures: volcanic and Arctic,” they stated in the video.

But the winning element on every car stands to be the sound it produces, and this Ferrari Testarossa was no different.

Producing a pure V-12-powered roar, the sound matched the mean exterior of the supercar.

The owner also noted that the car’s gas mileage was the same as a Hummer, and when the temperature outside drops, the gears can prove stubborn, but nevertheless, it was still a thing of beauty.

The results were in after a year of ownership

After jokingly listing the things that they had noticed after driving the car from A to B, the owner came to one huge conclusion.

The car was simply ‘magnificent’, and no matter what could go wrong with any function, it simply wouldn’t matter, as it was still a Ferrari Testarossa.

After sharing their experience online, other Ferrari lovers got involved in the conversation too.

“Happy car anniversary. You two are perfect together! Congrats,” said one user.

“Nice. You seem to truly appreciate the absolute character of your baby,” added another.

“It was from the Testarossa that I started to love Ferraris! You are very lucky to have one!” commented a third.

So, even though some features could be improved, the imperfections made the car unique and attractive.
