Chassis

#62897

In 1986, Agnelli “the Avvocato” had an uncovered version of the Ferrari Testarossa made by Pininfarina: a one-of-a-kind, silver-gray, with personalized license plate TO0000G. It remained in the hands of Gianni Agnelli for some time and then changed hands several times

Vehicle Overview

The Ferrari Testarossa Spider stands as a bespoke marvel, meticulously crafted at Maranello to commemorate l’Avvocato Gianni Agnelli’s stewardship of FIAT S.p.A. Ferrari’s archives chronicle the construction of its Pininfarina body, initiated on February 27, 1986, culminating in delivery four months later, on June 16, meticulously tailored to match the significance of the occasion and the esteemed recipient. Registered in Turin with the personalized plate TO 00000G, it embarked on a journey emblematic of Agnelli’s legacy. Adorned in “Argento 101/C” livery, chosen to symbolize Agnelli Gianni’s initials as the chemical symbol for silver, this Testarossa exudes sophistication, accentuated by elegant “Blu 3282” bands and “Blu 168” carpets. Its meticulous design transcends mere aesthetic enhancements, as evidenced by the thoughtful integration of extra controls into the dashboard. A testament to Agnelli’s personalization, this Ferrari Testarossa Spider features an electronic button facilitating the raising and lowering of the hood, maintaining its angle with precision. Further innovations include a unique gear-change system, enabling effortless operation for Agnelli, who faced challenges due to a past car accident. This system, reminiscent of the F40 developed for him three years later, offers the driver the flexibility to switch between manual and Valeo electronic clutch operation at the touch of a button. The Testarossa Spider’s roof lowering mechanism, ingeniously engineered to seamlessly integrate beneath an integrated hard tonneau cover, underscores Ferrari’s commitment to both form and function. Delivered with its original leather folder containing the Uso di Manutanzione, dealership listings, and service book, this meticulously maintained specimen boasts a mere 23,000 kilometers on the odometer. Symbolizing the epitome of 1980s automotive design, the Ferrari Testarossa Spider commands attention with its radical aesthetic, characterized by unique air intakes and generously styled rear end. In automobile history, the Testarossa is a perfect symbol of the 1980s, just as the Lamborghini Countach represents 1970s design. A symbol of innovation and boldness, its sale by Artcurial in 2016 for 1,210,080 € underscores its status as a coveted piece of automotive history, immortalizing the enduring legacy of l’Avvocato Gianni Agnelli and his unwavering impact on the automotive world.
