Prettiest Engine (Ever) thread...it's time
Ok, lots of "best of" threads, but how about pretty engines?
How about this $10m + engine (yes, just the engine) ultra-rare twin-cam, twin plug '58 Testarossa engine?? Saw it during the '09 Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca.

Ferrari 512 at Leguna Seca.
Yeah I remember Engine Porn (the thread), didn't set in my memory. Maybe this one will.

How can that be a Testarossa engine without red valve covers?
