Interior
Material:
Connolly Vaumol leather
Seats:
Beige leather interior (code 3218 - "Naturale" according to Pininfarina) made from Connolly Vaumol hides, cut and upholstered by Schedoni of Modena. Connolly supplied the original leather, while Schedoni was responsible for trimming and finishing the interiors at Ferrari. The dashboard was finished in Testa di Moro dark brown leather (Connolly VM 890), the same shade used on contemporary 512 BBi interiors, creating an elegant contrast with the Beige 3218 upholstery typical of the pre-production Testarossa show cars. "Castoro" (beaver-brown) carpeting.

Pininfarina
Type:
Fastback coupe
Colour:
Red
Note:
Pre-production cars built and finished at Pininfarina’s Cambiano facilities, with body panels supplied by ITCA (Industria Torinese Carrozzerie Automobili). When regular production began in mid-1984, body manufacture and assembly were transferred to Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena, part of Ferrari. Thus, the pre-production Testarossas represent the last Ferrari 12-cylinder berlinettas to be entirely completed by Pininfarina.
