Ferrari Testarossa Suspension for More Precision
As the curves get tighter and the route becomes more challenging, your Ferrari Testarossa (F110) should provide you with clear and predictable feedback. With KW suspensions, that classic mid-engine feel remains a part of every drive. But it’s complemented by modern damper technology that controls pronounced body roll and erratic reactions during load changes. With our KW V3 coilover suspension, you can combine a subtle drop with contemporary ride comfort. For select Testarossa models, it even features a lift function at the push of a button.
Ferrari Testarossa Chassis: A Balance Between Gran Turismo Comfort and Precise Control
The Big Suspension Comparison
Series
The Ferrari Testarossa F110 combines high driving stability and strong traction with the comfort-oriented design of a high-performance Gran Turismo. On challenging winding roads, however, noticeable body roll, somewhat sluggish steering response, and—depending on the road surface—unsteady handling can be felt. A modern suspension upgrade addresses precisely this issue: It provides more room for tuning without indiscriminately replacing the car’s historic character with stiffness.
KW V3
The KW V3 suspension gives you more control over body roll, steering response, and handling in the Ferrari Testarossa F110. Rebound and compression can be adjusted independently in 16 and 12 clicks, respectively; the ride height can be lowered by 10 to 30 mm on both axles. The coilover suspension is a perfect fit for the Testarossa F110 (4.9L with 283 or 287 kW; 5.0L with 272 kW). Please note: Not compatible with the 512 TR and F512 M.

Technology Highlights
Customized lowering
This coilover suspension offers maximum possible lowering, customized to your vehicle model. You can also change this at any time after installation.
Adjustable rebound (low speed)
You'll notice the difference with every click! Here, you can adjust the low-speed rebound with 16 clicks. This adjusts the ride characteristics, making them either harder or more comfortable.
Adjustable compression damping (low speed)
You can fine-tune the low-speed compression damping even after installation. The vehicle's handling and stability will benefit from 12 clicks.
Composite spring disc
The height-adjustable KW spring plate is made from a resistant and friction-optimised polyamide composite material with a stainless steel insert. In contrast to anodised aluminium adjustable spring plates, the polyamide composite material prevents possible oxidation.

Modern Damping Respects Historical Physics
An adjustable coilover suspension like the KW V3 can control body roll more effectively and make load changes more predictable. However, it does not negate the physical characteristics of the mid-engine layout and rear-biased weight distribution. That’s why it’s important to adjust the compression and rebound damping to suit the tires, road surface, and intended use, and to approach setup changes incrementally. This preserves the characteristic driving experience while allowing you to fine-tune the handling characteristics in a targeted manner.
Answers about the Ferrari Testarossa F110 Coilover Suspension, Lowering Kit, and HLS 2
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the KW V3 change the handling of the Ferrari Testarossa?
Separate compression and rebound damping adjustments allow you to control stability, body control, and overall comfort. This enables you to fine-tune body roll and steering response more precisely. The fundamental physics of the mid-engine layout and the demands placed on the car at the limits of handling remain unchanged.
How does the KW HLS 2 work on the Ferrari Testarossa?
At the push of a button, the hydraulic HLS 2 lifts the front axle several centimeters within 4–5 seconds. This helps when navigating ramps, driveways, and speed bumps. Once past the obstacle, the front end is lowered back to the preset ride height; the lift is not a substitute for a permanent lift kit.
Does the KW V3 also fit the Ferrari 512 TR or F512 M?
No, the KW V3 applications listed here apply specifically to the Ferrari Testarossa F110 and do not include the 512 TR or the F512 M. Before making a purchase, you should therefore use our vehicle configurator in the online store to clearly verify that the model, engine type, power output, and other vehicle specifications match the specific product listing.
Can I adjust the rebound and compression damping separately on the Ferrari Testarossa?
Yes. With the KW V3 coilover suspension, you can adjust the low-speed rebound in 16 precise clicks and the low-speed compression in 12 precise clicks separately. This allows you to fine-tune the factory-tuned base setting to provide either better body control or greater ride comfort without changing both settings at the same time.
