Ferrari Testarossa

Hello Ferrari and Speed Champions fans,

Ferrari Testarossa is a legendary supercar of 1980s. It is a two-door coupé from 1986 and it is the red version of the car from the TV series Miami Vice as the used Lego windscreen is not available with white decoration. Almost 10,000 Testarossas, 512 TRs, and F512 Ms were produced, making it one of the most-produced Ferrari models, despite its high price and exotic design.

It is a studless build in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style.  I wanted to create a sleek model which is as accurate as possible in this small scale. I minimized the use of stickers to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds. (Third picture shows the model without any stickers.)

My intent was to keep the width-length-height ratio of the real car and this size makes it possible. The model contains lots of details: for example the emblematic side intakes with the bottom black stripe, the turn signal lights on the sides, the side-view mirrors, the front grill with the head lights, the iconic rear side with the vehicle registration plate. Maybe the most challenging one was the interior where the seat assemblies hold side panels too. I tried to fill every unecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used.

The model has space for two minifigures. I suggest to use small hairs. Without the seats minifigures with bigger hairs can be used too if they are leaned back. The instructions and parts list files do not contain the minifigures shown on the pictures.

I hope you enjoy the build and the car. Many thanks for your support!

Change Log
The parts list files were replaced on Dec-2: The part 28974 was replaced by part 42446. Explanation: The 28974 is the newer version of 42446, but its thickness is a bit bigger than the thickness of 42446. (https://rebrickable.com/parts/28974/minifig-neckwear-bracket-one-stud-reinforced/ ) If 42446 is used, then the sides of the car are more smoother. (The parts list at the end of instructions refer to part 42446, but the element was changed automatically when the parts list was uploaded.)
