Ferrari also initially refused to supply a car for the show, so the faked up Daytona was used. Fairly quickly, Ferrari demanded their logo be removed from the cars used on screen. When the show became a hit Ferrari was more than willing to supply a car. I always thought the Testarossa was a ugly car.
