The car was not a Ferrari. It was a Daytona fiberglass kit car on a Vette base. The pic you posted shows it as good as any I've seen. Look closely at:

1) The seats and the way they are sectioned to fold forward (the Italian Stallion's seats I don't think they fold forward at all).

2) Center console (the side-handle '74 - '77 e-brake)

3) Windshield and windshield header (all Vette).

It was still cool, though. I had a '76 Vette and wanted to do the conversion to it - lack of funds stopped me (not lack of good taste).

You are right on brother :D:D

Phantom You have WAY to much time on your hands!!!!!! To think... Oh never mind :D:D

the black "Ferrari" was Vette all the way, the company who offered the package as a turn key or you buy the kit, McBurnie was the company if i remeber right, any way it was a "lawsuit" car and Ferrari didn't like it being showcased on Miami Vice.

part of the settelement was that the Black Vette/Ferrari be destroyed (remeber it was blow up by a hand held rocket launcher in one show) and the producers of Miama Vice purchase a Testarosa to replace it for thew duration of the show.

BODYSHOT1 08-30-2002 12:08 PM

I loved the show as much as the next guy, but you guys are startin' to scare me!! :( ;) :D

Our 38' Scarab KV was built side by side with the Miami Vice boat and is one hull number difference. Here is "Just Say No".

Ms. INXS 08-30-2002 05:13 PM

I lived in Fort Lauderdale during the taping of the Miami Vice episodes - I met Don, Phillip and all the guys because I dated Michael Talbot "Switek" . I have most of the episodes video taped because I worked in retail and missed the episodes - my girlfriend Tina in Florida has asked me to leave them to her in my will.

What Ferraris appeared on Miami Vice?

The answer to this FAQ is taken from the Guide to the Daytona and Testarossa of Miami Vice, by Jason Hatakeyama



Daytona Spyder

Detective Sonny Crockett was granted a number of undercover props to augment his identity as a high rolling, fast dealing drug runner. At the start of the series, he drove a midnight black Ferrari Daytona Spyder, Florida license plate ZAQ178, on loan to him by the Metro Dade County Vice Department. The Daytona was Crockett's prized "possession" and served as the perfect complement to his low key, yet high living identity. While more exotic cars such as the Lamborghini Countach could have been selected, the Daytona proved to be a wise choice by the producers.

Crockett's Daytona was an important visual part of the show. The sleek, mysterious Ferrari was integral to the undercover role of ultra cool Sonny "Burnett". A more exotic car would have been too conspicuous for his underworld drug running role, although many of his nefarious contacts preferred the flashy cars. The Daytona also provided a large dose of V-12 muscle in the high speed pursuits through the streets of Miami.

More formally known by Ferrari aficionados as the 365GTB/4[1], the Daytona was not well known to the general public. In fact, when the pilot episode aired, viewers were confused by the relatively obscure Daytona[2], and mistakenly identified it as a custom Corvette (although ironically, they were correct -- read on).

The original Daytona was introduced as a Berlinetta (coupe) model in Paris by Enzo Ferrari in 1968. Production continued in the U.S. for ten years until it was discontinued in 1978. The 4.4-liter V-12 (60o slant) was one of the last front-engined production models in the Ferrari stable. A 1971 road test review proclaimed the Daytona as the "fastest production car of all time."[3] The 352 bhp[4] engine was housed under the shapely front hood and provided spectacular performance in both the standing 1/4 mile (13.7s @ 104 mph) and 0-100 mph (12.6s).[5] For comparison with other sports cars, the Daytona reached 0-60 mph in 5.4s. The Aston Martin Vantage and the Porsche 911 were contemporary cars with similar performance.

The Spyder was a convertible version which was originally made by the Scaglietti house in Modena, Italy prior to the alliance of Ferrari, Pininfarina and Scaglietti. Original Scaglietti Spyders are quite rare, especially in the U.S., and most conversions are performed by custom car companies specializing in exoticar restorations. Berlinetta models were transformed into Spyders by sawing off the roof and remanufacturing the entire rear end. European Auto Restorations in Costa Mesa, California reworked Berlinetta models in 1979 for $15k and delivered a Daytona in three months.

Car design genius Pininfarina was responsible for the sharp, angular lines of the Daytona which was in marked contrast to the rounded shape of vintage Ferraris. The clean aerodynamic lines of the long-nosed Daytona allowed Group 4 racing[6] without major modifications. Spoilers were not used at all. Early models were manufactured with unique Plexiglas fairings which spanned the entire length across the headlights. Later models, designed for the U.S. market, had retractable headlights.

Crockett's Daytona Spyder was actually a look-alike replica, built using a 1980 Corvette chassis with Ferrari-designed body panels and real Ferrari hardware inside. According to Popular Mechanics, the original replica was "spotted on a lot in Newport Beach by the show's producer."[7] Motor Trend magazine, however, claims the two show cars were bought at an auction. Al Mardikian, an auto importer had the two replicas built by Tom McBurnie, but he found himself in legal trouble and the two cars were confiscated by the Feds.[8] The producers in turn purchased the cars from the government.

In 1986, McBurnie Coachcraft and California Custom Coach both offered Daytona Spyder kits for building replicas, and turn-key models built on a Corvette chassis were available for $45k.

By the start of the third season, Ferrari executives were getting miffed that the ersatz Daytona was gathering so much attention. The television audience was unaware that the show cars were fake. The producers intended for the car to be treated as a genuine Ferrari and Crockett never hints that the Daytona is a replica. Given the constructed reality of television, it is no wonder that the fake car was treated as real. In any event, Ferrari North America offered to provide two bona-fide Ferraris for Miami Vice, and they chose their flagship model, the 12-cylinder muscle machine, the Testarossa.



Ferrari Testarossa

The Testarossa debuted in the 1986 fall season opener as a black version driven by IRA gunrunner Sean Carroon.[9] The exoticar was a fitting image for high rolling terrorists dealing in hand held Stinger missiles. Although the episode credits read "Crockett's Car Furnished by Ferrari North America", Sonny was yet to drive his new car.

Michael Mann needed a plot device to introduce the Testarossa, so he had the gunrunners launch a Stinger missile at Crockett's prized Daytona and blew it up before his very eyes.[10] A month later (the next episode), Lt. Castillo told a still-grieving Crockett to check out back for his new car. Sonny was greeted by a white Testarossa,[11] Florida license plate ATF00M. He proudly recited the specs of his new toy to Rico, "345 hp and 180 mph!" Much like his treatment of women, Sonny soon forgot about his past relationship and eagerly moved on to the new.

Two show cars were provided by Ferrari North America and were originally delivered black, but were later repainted white for better contrast at night. In addition, a stunt car was created by the Roberts Motor Co. by beefing up a 1972 DeTomaso Pantera chassis with salvaged Testarossa body parts.[12] The mid-engined Pantera replicated the Ferrari much closer than the Corvettes which were used to create the Daytona look-alikes.



Pantera stunt double diagram from July 1987 Popular Mechanics - SEE BELOW

The Testarossa was the first Ferrari built expressly for the American market. Introduced in late 1984 at the Paris Auto Salon, it was brought to the U.S. in 1985 with a sticker price of $87,000. A waiting list was immediately created, and deliveries were back ordered through 1986.

Rather than follow the traditional Ferrari numbering scheme, this new model was simply known as the "Testarossa" in reference to former Ferraris. Testa Rossa, or "Red Head" (the cam covers were painted a bright red, hence the name)[13] was the original name of the 1956 4-cylinder racers and later used for the 1958 250TR race car which used the trademark V-12

Although it followed the earlier 1984 introduction of the limited production GTO250 model, the Testarossa was designed as the replacement for the 12-year old BB512i Berlinetta Boxer. The new Testarossa included an improved 5-liter Flat-12 Boxer engine[14] and early European models generated 390 bhp, more than enough power to rocket past the 180 mph barrier. A 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) time of 5.8s was the rated acceleration.

The sleek, low profile was enhanced by garish side rakes which were actually aerodynamic vents feeding air to the side mounted radiators. The dividing fins were added to meet specifications precluding the use of open air scoops. The engine was mounted at the rear, and coupled with the side vents created an extremely wide aft body (77.8"). The rear track spanned 65.4" and sat atop Goodyear Eagle 255/50VR-16s.[15] The side vents also provided cooling air to the massive 12.2" disc brakes. A single driver side mirror was positioned high on the front pillar and added an odd, yet striking sense of non-symmetry. The Pininfarina design was either loved or hated by both critics and car designers.

The performance, however, was undeniably superb. The American model top speed was just under 180 mph, 0-60 in 5.3s thanks to a 48-valve, 380 hp 5-liter engine which could propel the Testarossa to 100 mph in 12.2s The 1/4 mile was accomplished in 13.6s, an improvement over the BB512's 14.2s performance[16]. This bettered the Lamborghini Countach (5.6s), but couldn't quite out muscle the classic Porsche 911 (5.1s).

Other Ferrari models were woven throughout the various episodes. During his brief marriage to Caitlen Davies, Sonny visited Los Angeles and drove around in a rented Ferrari[17] (probably from Budget Rent-a-Car in Beverly Hills). This Ferrari was a black 308 GTB, a similar model to the one driven by actor Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I. One must admire the "sacrifices" he made in the line of duty.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
[1] The Ferrari identification began as the individual cylinder displacement (365 cc) followed by the body style, "GT" - Gran Turismo, and "B" - Berlinetta (Coupe). Later models adopted the engine size/number of cylinders nomenclature, as in the BB512, which stands for Berlinetta Boxer-engine, 5 liter, 12 cylinders.
[2] A red Daytona Spyder was raced cross country in the movie, "Gumball Rally".
[3] Autocar, w/e 19 August 1978.
[4] 352 bhp @ 7500 rpm, and 318 ft-lb torque @ 5500 rpm.
[5] 0-150 mph in 31.5s
[6] The requisite 400 production models required for Group 4 racing status were built by 1971.
[7] Popular Mechanics, July 1987.
[8] Motor Trend, August 1986.
[9] When Irish Eyes are Crying (1986).
[10] There is some discussion as to the original sequence of the third season episodes.
[11] Stone's War (1986).
[12] Popular Mechanics, July 1987.
[13] Road and Track, December 1984.
[14] The engine can be thought of as two opposing in-line 6-cylinders mounted together at 180o.
[15] Road and Track, August 1986.
[16] Motor Trend, March 1988.
[17] Rock and a Hard Place (1988)

Miami Vice - The BBC Cuts.

Season’s One and Two of Miami Vice were screened uncut by the BBC, with the only exception being that they placed the opening teaser sequence after the title sequence instead of before them.

Between Season’s two and three the Hungerford massacre occurred and the BBC then began to edit violent television programme’s to remove anything which could cause offence. When Miami Vice returned for Season Three, only a few episodes survived the censor’s scissors.

An entire scene was cut where Tubbs is told he is a walk-alone and then him seeing his cellmate hanging in his cell. A brief shot of Tubb’s being punched while tied to a chair. Footage of Tubbs using a guard as a shield, then the guard getting shot, followed by Castillo shooting a tower guard.

5) The Good Collar. - Cut.

Footage of a dead junkie with a needle in their arm. A lengthy sequence was removed showing several people being beaten up by Count Walker’s bodyguards.

6) Shadow In The Dark. - Shown Uncut.

7) El Viejo. - Banned.

Banned by the BBC for excessive violence.

8) Better Living Through Chemistry. - Cut.

9) Baby Blues. - Cut.

At the start footage of a Columbian woman being hit by a soldier at the start has been removed.

Great info on the Vice! Its my alltime favorite show. Looks like you were more addicted than I was. MIAMI VICE was the reason I bought my first boat. The era of the 80's was deffinetly cool:cool: Someone told me that there was an episode with a Chris Cat on it that looked just like mine. I don't remember it and I thought that I had seen them all. Do you or anyone else ever remember such an episode?
