Cars, IndyCar, F1, Bengals, Reds, Ohio State, retro gaming, snarky comments about BaT auctions. Maybe not in that order. Depends on the season. #740

These hot rods are certainly cool, but they come from the Boomer era of cars. I wonder how far they will drop in the futureβ€”although $21k for this seems like a steal now.

1988 Ferrari Testarossa for sale on BaT Auctions - sold for $160,000 on November 22, 2025 (Lot #220,804) | Bring a Trailer Bid for the chance to own a 1988 Ferrari Testarossa at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #220,804.

Considering how they were compared with each other back in the day, time has definitely declared a victor in the Testarossa/Countach battle, considering the Lamborghini goes for $300,000 or more than the Ferrari these days.

I'm not going to bother with a price analysis because I've done so many damn Hellcat-powered things that were never driven I'm bored by them.

I will, however, point out it takes 71 characters, including spaces, to write out the full name of this car.
