1988 Ferrari Testarossa Review // Driving The Legend

The 1988 Ferrari Testarossa (~$150,000 in the used market) is an icon of 80s culture.

It was labelled as a failure and with it, its Ouya storefront was shutdown in 2019 reducing the micro console to a mere paperweight. But a community of passionate Ouya fans have kept the console alive thanks to a homebrew Ouya API replacement. In this episode we dust on my old Ouya from 2013 and bring it back to life once again in 2022!
