Video: Roadtripping a Testarossa is surprisingly relaxing

The creator of this video describes it as '12 cylinder therapy' and we couldn't agree more. This is not the Elevenses video you might expect. No screaming up and down Alpine passes, round hairpins or through tunnels. Instead what we have is a leisurely walkaround of an immaculate Rosso Corsa Ferrari Testarossa of 1980s vintage followed by a driver's eye view of an unhurried trip down a selection of highways.

We can't identify the state and it's a shame there aren't a few more bends but, as the title of the video suggests, pressing on is not the point of this trip. The driver is clearly simply enjoying the rare treat of being behind the wheel of one of the most iconic Ferraris of all time, with its 180-degree V12 singing behind his head and the gearlever snicking through the exposed gate. Grab a cuppa, sit back, watch and enjoy.
