I was too young to watch Miami Vice (the TV series) in the 1980s and back then, American TV haven't really hit Singapore in a big way. Well, I did watch Miami Vice (the movie) and was smitten with the gun metal gray F430. After a bit of Wiki-ing, I realized Ferrari and Miami Vice go WAY back, with the Daytona and Testarossa featuring heavily in the show.
So you can imagine my delight when I spotted one the other day (old Ferraris in Singapore are not so commonly driven out, compared to the newer F360 and F430) The design is more than 20 years old and yet it still looks so exotic: wide, low, 'cheese grater' cooling grilles looking oh so retro cool, did I mention wide?
