Ponder on the history of the supercar and there are a few Italian machines that are likely to be common the majority of petrolhead’s lists. The Lamborghini Miura and Countach, numerous Ferraris such as the F40, F50 and this, the Testarossa.

In case you didn’t know, the Ferrari Testarossa is powered by a 4.9-litre flat 12-cylinder engine delivering a total of 290 hp at 6300 rpm as well as 361 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm. It also tips the scales at 1506 kg and can reach 100 km/h in a very respectable 5.3 seconds. The car is stunning and its long sweeping lines are something that have since never featured so strikingly on a modern car.
