That's right, they used the Daytona, so in theory, using the Testarossa would be quite appropriate! That would be a riot to see!

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted February 11, 2020 I saw it today for the first time. Didnt drive it, but sat in it, started it.. Initially feeling is that it is very roomy and comfortable. Much more so than the Countach and Testarossa. Clutch engagement is fine, but the throttle seems very stiff. Build quality is not up to the Countach or Testarossa. Very on the fence with the wing. Everyone telling me to keep it, versus this is the one car Ive always envisioned without one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyno Report post Posted February 11, 2020 FINALLY!!! I’m stoked you got one. The gas pedal is very very long in its engagement but shouldn’t be stiffer than a Countach. It should have a choke under the handbrake which is usually stiff to operate but very useful when the car is cold and you want to warm it up. Make sure you upgrade your windows so they go up and down at a normal speed. When removing the top make sure to put the windows down and seats forward before you try and store it behind the seats. If you have any questions then let me know as I’m on my second one. Get an exhaust system made as soon as possible as the Jalpa sounds great with one!

rhyno Report post Posted February 12, 2020 I can’t remember what it is exactly but I think they increase the voltage. Miura’s also have the same issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cake Report post Posted February 15, 2020 I usually vote for keeping a classic car original but it looks so sleek without the wing. That wingless profile is gorgeous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wingless profile is gorgeous. 100% agree! It may be lack of sleep, but it's reminiscent of the early Countach profiles, a bit of a wedge on the back half. Either would be great, but seeing it without the wing it feels much more essential without. Granted, you can't go wrong either way.

4xchamp Report post Posted March 14, 2020 Fabulous car. Good luck. I can do without the wing. Even the Countach has a cleaner profile without it however it's wing and scissor doors are it's trademark features Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
