5. Ferrari Testarossa

The Ferrari Testarossa is one of the hottest vintage sports cars. When you check most of its reviews, they focus mainly on its aesthetics and understandably so. The vehicle has a striking look that saw it adorn walls of car dealer shops and teenage bedrooms for quite some time. 

So much was its influence that its image was used in popular video games such as  Grand Theft Auto III and Impact Racing for several years. Its 12-cylinder engine was loud, which enhanced its appeal. The interior is leather upholstery that comes in various colors, including red, brown, black, and white. 

It also came with a broader interior that provided more luggage space without affecting its speed and weight. The sports car had two radiators instead of one, which helped cool the temperatures in the cabin. What stands out most about this Ferrari is its sleek, unique, and edgy design.
