02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionTestarossas supplied by Ferrari to the Miami Vice production | 21 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Two black Testarossas were supplied to the production and repainted white because white shows up better than black in night filming, which gives the odd white-and-cream colour combination. Chassis 63631 was the car used from the second episode of the third series onwards. It went into storage after filming ended in 1989 and stayed there until 2015, when it was offered at Mecum Monterey with 16,124 miles and failed to sell after bidding reached $600,000. The other white car sold for $750,000.
