The Turbo Racer is an Autobot Action Master vehicle from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A Ferrari Testarossa large enough to carry a regular-sized Ferrari Testarossa in the trunk. Wheeljack is a genius!

The Turbo Racer is the most versatile ground/air attack vehicle ever constructed. Wheeljack created it and is the vehicle's primary operator. In its car mode it boasts an energon-injected, liquid nitrogen-cooled engine, capable of accelerating the craft from 0 to 250 mph in just 3 seconds. It is armed with a rear-mounted cannon able to fire shrapnel and incendiary projectiles, along with Laser-strafer rifle. In jet fighter mode, it also packs a nose mounted proton missile launcher.

The Turbo Racer is a large red sports car based upon the Ferrari Testarossa that can seat two Action Master figures. The Turbo Racer has an "attack mode" where it transforms into something vaguely resembling an aircraft made from car parts. In this form, another set of foot pegs is revealed behind the top-mounted cannon, enabling a third Action Master figure to ride the vehicle as a gunner. When transformed, the cannon itself has a 3mm hole on top to mount any of the various handheld Action Master weaponry.
It came with the Action Master figure of Wheeljack.
