Talk:Ferrari Testarossa

Copyright violation
I had to remove a TON of text from this article because it was copyvio from here. Even if it had not been copyvio, it was not encyclopedic writing. There were a ton of photos lifted from there, too. --SFoskett 01:41, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

Also Called...
I think the "Also Called" part from the info box should be removed, as the 512TR and Especially the 512M are Significantly different cars. AppleRobin 16:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Heads
I will eat a cream cake for the first person who can illustrate this article with a legitimate photograph of the engine's red heads. -Ashley Pomeroy 17:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Boxer or 180 V?
Clicking between this page and the Boxer engine page, I was looking to understand the difference between a 180 V engine and a boxer configuration. Aren't they just the same thing?

A flat plane where cylinders are horizontally opposed IS a boxer engine... right? Is there something unique about the crankshaft configuration that I'm not seeing? Because I fail to see the point in saying 180 V if it is just a Boxer Engine —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.242.54 (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The crankshaft is different in Ferrari engine, its like those in V engine --&mdash; Typ932 T  17:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

PICTURE
Too bad the top picture is of a 512 TR not a Testarossa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.145.136 (talk) 06:08, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

4.9 or 5.0
are there any sources to 4.9 l capacity? both nomenclature (5litres 12cylinders) and sources (like autozine) point to 5.0 capacity — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ybsone (talk • contribs) 15:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * 4,943 cc is closer to 4.9 L -- >Typ932 T&middot;C 16:01, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * it is not about which is closer, but which is ment by the manufacturer (ex 1779cc was named by Alfa 1750 not 1800) YBSOne (talk) 21:21, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * But the Testarossa is Testarossa not Testarossa 5.0 The "name" capacity is only used when its actual name or used often by magazines or such. for instance Mustang 5.0 -- >Typ932 T&middot;C 13:08, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes testarossa doesn't have 5.0 in its name but it's successor does, 512TR, F512 M, also the 512BB and 512BBi had same capacity. Again 5 for liters, 12 for cylinders. There is a rule about the 1750 Alfa engines: capacity is 1779cc, name is 1750, but in wiki it is 1.8 as a capacity, because 1779 is much closer to 1,8. It is wise to just ask Ferrari Storico what is their opinion. On one hand it's a bit closer to 4.9 but on the other is almost as close to 5.0 and the name suggests 5.0 YBSOne (talk) 07:48, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Removed "redhead" sentence
I've removed the following sentence from the Name section:

Unless someone cites an interview from Sergio Pininfarina, this is just speculation. Furthermore I highly doubt this has any basis, since in Italian testa rossa is never used to refer to a red-haired person, as "redhead" is in English. —Cloverleaf II (talk) 11:38, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
