Meaning: Cheese Grater - The Testarossa side grills look WhatAPlate's Story:
Wrapping this Testarosa all together was a controversial Pininfarina body. Of course, the most widely debated feature were the “cheese grater” side strakes that shot across the doors into the rear fenders. Designed to provide the necessary cooling air while integrating the openings into the overall theme of the car, the look soon spawned knock-off treatments that were slapped onto far lesser cars like Pontiac Trans Ams and a wide variety of Japanese sporty cars, one of the most deplorable trends of the decade.
