Talk:Ferrari Testarossa

I had to remove a TON of text from this article because it was copyvio from here. Even if it had not been copyvio, it was not encyclopedic writing. There were a ton of photos lifted from there, too. --SFoskett 01:41, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

I think the "Also Called" part from the info box should be removed, as the 512TR and Especially the 512M are Significantly different cars. AppleRobin 16:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I will eat a cream cake for the first person who can illustrate this article with a legitimate photograph of the engine's red heads. -Ashley Pomeroy 17:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Clicking between this page and the Boxer engine page, I was looking to understand the difference between a 180 V engine and a boxer configuration. Aren't they just the same thing?

A flat plane where cylinders are horizontally opposed IS a boxer engine... right? Is there something unique about the crankshaft configuration that I'm not seeing? Because I fail to see the point in saying 180 V if it is just a Boxer Engine —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.242.54 (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

The crankshaft is different in Ferrari engine, its like those in V engine --— Typ932^{T | C}  17:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Too bad the top picture is of a 512 TR not a Testarossa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.145.136 (talk) 06:08, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

are there any sources to 4.9 l capacity? both nomenclature (5litres 12cylinders) and sources (like autozine) point to 5.0 capacity — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ybsone (talk • contribs) 15:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

4,943 cc is closer to 4.9 L -->Typ932 ^T·C 16:01, 2 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

it is not about which is closer, but which is ment by the manufacturer (ex 1779cc was named by Alfa 1750 not 1800) YBSOne (talk) 21:21, 2 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

But the Testarossa is Testarossa not Testarossa 5.0 The "name" capacity is only used when its actual name or used often by magazines or such. for instance Mustang 5.0 -->Typ932 ^T·C 13:08, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes testarossa doesn't have 5.0 in its name but it's successor does, 512TR, F512 M, also the 512BB and 512BBi had same capacity. Again 5 for liters, 12 for cylinders. There is a rule about the 1750 Alfa engines: capacity is 1779cc, name is 1750, but in wiki it is 1.8 as a capacity, because 1779 is much closer to 1,8. It is wise to just ask Ferrari Storico what is their opinion. On one hand it's a bit closer to 4.9 but on the other is almost as close to 5.0 and the name suggests 5.0 YBSOne (talk) 07:48, 4 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've removed the following sentence from the Name section:

Unless someone cites an interview from Sergio Pininfarina, this is just speculation. Furthermore I highly doubt this has any basis, since in Italian testa rossa is never used to refer to a red-haired person, as "redhead" is in English. —Cloverleaf II (talk) 11:38, 17 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
