A real treasure has appeared on the Moscow collectible car market — a 1990 Ferrari Testarossa with a mileage of only 16,500 km. To appreciate the rarity of such a condition, it is enough to know: a Moscow taxi driver covers this distance in six months.
The bright red sports car belonged to one owner for more than 30 years before it was brought to Russia from Europe four years ago. The condition of the car can be described as a “time capsule” — a full set of documents, perfect service at an official Ferrari dealer, and a completely original exterior and interior. Even the carpets in the interior look as if the car just rolled off the assembly line. And the famous 12-cylinder boxer engine was almost never used.
For those who grew up in the 90s with Turbo chewing gum, the Testarossa is not just a car, but a symbol of dreams. The Moscow example is painted in the iconic Rosso Corsa with a metallic sheen, and the interior is made in a combination of beige leather and a brown dashboard. Under the hood is a 5-liter engine with 390 hp, acceleration to 100 km / h – in 5.8 seconds.
Only about 10,000 of these cars were produced, so each of them is of collector’s value. The car is valued at 25 million rubles – this is one of the most expensive offers on the domestic market of rare cars.
Experts emphasize: with such a mileage, the Testarossa is more of a museum exhibit than a vehicle. It’s like a rare wine that’s nice to keep, but a shame to open. And yet, interest in such cars is growing – over the past five years, prices for well-preserved Testarossas have almost doubled.
Those who want to become the owner of such a masterpiece should hurry – such examples do not last long. This is not just a car, but a living part of automotive history, which only gets more expensive with time. And unlike stocks or cryptocurrencies, this investment can be a blast to ride.
