Miami Vice: More Than Just Pastel Suits
So, you wanna know what kind of wheels our favorite '80s undercover cops, Crockett and Tubbs, were rolling in? Well, buckle up, because we're about to take a trip down memory lane.
The Daytona Dilemma
Now, if you're a true Miami Vice aficionado, you're probably thinking "Ferrari Daytona, duh!" And you wouldn't be wrong. That sleek, black beauty was the poster child for the show's first two seasons. But here's the kicker: it wasn't actually a Ferrari. Mind blown, right?
Those bad boys were actually Chevrolet Corvettes in disguise! Yep, you heard it here first. Some clever folks slapped on a Ferrari-esque body kit and voila! Instant iconic ride. So, next time you're trying to impress your car-obsessed friend, drop that knowledge bomb.
Testarossa: The White Knight
Then came the Ferrari Testarossa. That was the real deal, a bona fide Italian stallion. All white everything, it was the epitome of '80s excess. And let's be honest, it's still pretty damn cool. It's like the Ferrari said, "Yo, Corvette, step aside, I got this."
But let's not forget the other cars that made appearances. There were plenty of flashy sports cars, some questionable choices (we're looking at you, pastel Cadillac), and even a few undercover cop cars that were, well, less than glamorous.
So, to recap:
- Seasons 1 and 2: Corvette disguised as a Ferrari Daytona (talk about a catfish situation)
- Seasons 3-5: Ferrari Testarossa (the real deal)
