Most Wanted: 10 Vehicles Which Need A Restomod

November 15, 2017

Ferrari Testarossa

Production years: 1984-1996

Although it may have existed for just as long in the 1990s, to me, the Testarossa is an emblem of the 1980s. When I picture this wonderful car, I see it on a beachside highway in California or Florida under an eternal summer sunset. That besides, no one restomods these. Ferraris tend to be seen as sacred, with the act of modifying one being tantamount to taking garden shears to the Shroud of Turin. That’s silly, though. Yes, Ferraris are immaculately designed, but guess what, so are great restomods? Should you have a few hundred thousand dollars to spare, you could build something truly incredible.

While you’ll probably want to keep the iconic body shape the same, you could always customize it with some custom skirts, a new spoiler and front splitter. When it comes to the engine, there’s a fair bit of space to play around, thanks to the original’s flat-12 design. If you fancy a change, throw a modern V12 in there, like those from an Aston Martin or a BMW 750i. Update the brakes with some modern ceramics courtesy of Brembo, replace the transmission, and generally give this thing a much-needed modernization. Given the retro-80s styles currently floating around, this restomod would be a hit with all but the most die-hard Ferrari purists.
