Ferrari - Testarossa (1987)
When you think of a Ferrari that defined the high‑end sports car market of the 1980s, the Ferrari Testarossa instantly comes to mind. The 1987 model, in particular, has become a sought‑after icon for classic car collectors and enthusiasts alike. While the Ferrari Testarossa price varies widely depending on mileage, condition, and provenance, you can expect a reasonably high valuation for a 1987 version in excellent condition. This guide will help you understand the key specifications, typical depreciation pattern, and where the 1987 Testarossa stands in today’s market.

When assessing Ferrari Testarossa depreciation, it is useful to look at broader industry patterns for high‑performance exotic cars. Typically, a brand new Ferrari Testarossa loses 15–20% of its showroom price within the first year of ownership. Over the next 3–5 years, the annual depreciation slows to around 8–12%, depending on mileage and wear. By the 10‑year mark, a well‑maintained, low‑mileage 1987 Testarossa may still retain 35–45% of its original value. Here are realistic estimates over a typical lifespan:
- Year 0–1: -15 – 20 %
- Years 2–5: -8 – 12 % per year
- Years 6–10: -5 – 7 % per year
- Beyond 10 years: Value plateaus; can increase if provenance improves
But how does the 1987 Ferrari Testarossa stack up against its contemporaries? For instance, the Ferrari 308 GTB shares a V‑12 engine lineage but is older, usually priced lower because of its more dated styling. The used Ferrari Testarossa price of a 1987 model will often surpass the market value of a 1979 Testarossa simply because the 1987 models saw high production numbers and received significant upgrades in power and interior refinements. In contrast, the newer 1990‑92 Testarossa can command premium figures for tighter tolerances and freshly updated electronics.
In comparison with non‑Ferrari Italian supercars, the 1987 Testarossa remains a benchmark for driver engagement. The Lamborghini Countach and the Maserati Quattroporte V‑12 are often cited, yet the Testarossa’s symmetrical “parabolic” front fascia and linear driver layout give it a distinctive operator experience. Buyers managing a budget between $70,000 and $200,000 will find a used 1987 Testarossa within that range, especially if the vehicle has been well serviced, retains its original parts, and carries a clean title.
From a market position perspective, the Ferrari Testarossa is highly popular in the classic collector segment. Its iconic status makes it a
