The Testarossa name, which, in Italian means "red head", comes from the red-painted cylinder heads on the flat-12 engine. Of course, the double entendre with a red-headed woman was intentional; in fact, Ferrari and Pininfarina regularly use descriptive terms related to a female's body when describing the style of their automobiles.
