The poster car of the 1980s. Launched in 1984 with a 4.9-litre flat-twelve behind the seats, it was very wide at the rear and had long slatted strakes down each side feeding the radiators. The name means red head, after the red cam covers, and recalls the 250 Testa Rossa racers of the 1950s. A white one starred in Miami Vice.
