When you think of cars from the 80's, there are 2 that predominantly stick out in my mind. One has been selected already,
and I am proud to select in the 4th round, my 80's car, the Ferrari Testarossa.
Quote:
The Testarossa name, which means "red head" in Italian, comes from the red-painted cam covers on the flat-12 engine.[7]
Of course, the double entendre with a red-headed woman was intentional; in fact, Ferrari and Pininfarina regularly use descriptive
terms related to a female's body when describing the style of their automobiles.

Quote:
As the car became synonymous with 80s yuppies and nowadays plays a part of the 80's retro culture,[12] such popularity
meant that the Testarossa has made appearance in numerous video games, most notably the arcade games Out Run, OutRun 2,
and Hard Drivin', and also in the TV series Miami Vice, as Sonny Crockett's undercover car from season three and on.
