What do a Fiat 508 S from 1935, a Jaguar E-Type from 1961 and a Ferrari Testarossa from 1985 have in common? They are all sports cars and icons of their era. And above all, they are sought after and coveted today. But can they be compared? And how do they feel when you sit behind the wheel? This driving report brings together three legendary cars that represent five decades of sports car development. Many photos, sound recordings and documents show what they have in common and where the differences lie.
Between 1984 and 1996, Ferrari built almost 10,000 models of the Testarossa, 512 TR and 512 M. Breathtakingly dressed and designed at the height of its time, the Testarossa embodied what was possible at the time and also showed its best side in white in the TV series "Miami Vice". Even Alain Delon, the famous actor, could not resist the allure of the car. Now, almost 30 years later, the car is being auctioned in Paris. This report tells the story of the Ferrari Testarossa and shows it, and Delon's example in particular, in detail in many pictures and in two original brochures.
In 1984, Ferrari presented the Testarossa super sports car, followed five years later by the small luxury car manufacturer Alpina with the B10 Biturbo, which could easily compete with the Ferrari in terms of performance. As a modified five-seater of the E34 series, however, the Alpina had lost none of its suitability for everyday use for transporting up to five people and luggage. So was the B10 Biturbo the better alternative and what does it look like today, 25 years later? This report compares the two different vehicles and shows them in historical images, supplemented by photos of the predecessors and successors.
