Ferrari Testarossa Performance Overview

Defined by a mid-engine, naturally aspirated flat-12 layout, the Ferrari Testarossa appears here across 3 verified tests spanning 1986 to 1988, covering the Type F110 series during its early production years. In this dataset, performance centers on the F113A flat-12, rated from 380 to 390 hp and paired exclusively with a gasoline powertrain. The benchmark arrived immediately: the 1986 Coupe posted the model’s quickest 0-60 run at 5.0 seconds and backed it with a 13.3-second quarter-mile at 107 mph, setting the pace for the sample.

Through the remaining tested years, the Testarossa stayed tightly grouped rather than showing major swings. Another 1987 Coupe recorded 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, while the 1988 Coupe ran 5.5 seconds, establishing the slow end of the range. Across all three tests, the average stands at 5.3 seconds to 60 mph, with a 13.5-second quarter-mile average at 108 mph. With no hybrid or electric variants in the record and no later performance eras represented here, the current view of the Testarossa remains that original Type F110 formula: a gasoline flat-12 coupe with period-consistent 5-second 0-60 capability.
