Swiss company Officine Fioravanti is preparing a restomod Ferrari Testarossa.

In restoring classic Porsche 911s, reputable companies also offer refurbishment of the cars to modern standards, called resto-modification.

Gradually, however, companies are beginning to turn their attention to classic cars from other manufacturers, and perhaps unsurprisingly, classic Ferraris are the most popular in the non-911 cloud.

Recent restored Ferraris we've covered include a Maggiore 308, a Casil 328 and a Dino modified by renowned Ferrari collector David Lee. And now Swiss company Officine Fioravanti has released the first photos of the Ferrari Testarossa restomod under development.

Since Officine Fioravanti has not yet finalized the development of this car, the specifications are not yet known. The original 4.9-liter V12 engine sits behind the seats, but it has been completely redesigned with controls that allow the driver to adjust power.

An adjustable exhaust system has also been added. It is made of titanium to reduce weight. The company claims that the total weight of the restomod has been reduced by almost 265 kg compared to the stock Testarossa.

Other mechanical improvements were aimed at improving safety and driving performance. Brembo brakes, Öhlins shock absorbers, adjustable traction control, and modern ABS and traction control systems were installed. In addition, the car is equipped with a nose lift system to protect the bodywork from scuffing.

To preserve the Testarossa's legendary looks, little has changed on the exterior, but the interior has been extensively redesigned. Many surfaces are finished in new leather, and some of the old plastic parts have been replaced with metal. In addition, a new audio system has been added, as well as controls to adjust some of the elements mentioned above. [Officine Fioravanti has not yet disclosed how many Testarossa restomods it plans to build.
