The Ferrari Testarossa above, with an estimate of €140,000 ($150,352), has become an iconic car of the 1980s via numerous appearances in American films and television shows. Most recently a Testarossa was featured in The Wolf of Wall Street, where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Jordan Belfort, struggles to get into his pristine white Testarossa after a night of hard living.
