An Evolution of the Ferrari Testarossa – The 512 TR was an updated and improved version of the Ferrari Testarossa, featuring better aerodynamics, handling, and more power.
Powered by a 4.9L Flat-12 Engine – The 512 TR used an upgraded 4.9-liter naturally aspirated flat-12 engine, producing 428 hp and 491 Nm of torque, allowing for a top speed of 314 km/h (195 mph).
0-100 km/h in Just 4.8 Seconds – The 512 TR improved acceleration, reaching 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.8 seconds, faster than the original Testarossa.
Major Improvements in Handling and Performance – Ferrari lowered the engine by 30 mm to improve handling and weight distribution, giving the 512 TR better cornering and stability.
More Refined and Luxurious Interior – The 512 TR featured a redesigned interior, offering better ergonomics, improved materials, and more comfortable seating compared to the Testarossa.
Rare and Collectible – Ferrari built only 2,280 units of the 512 TR, making it a rare and desirable collector’s car today.
One of the Last Classic Ferrari Flat-12s – The 512 TR was among the last Ferraris to use the iconic flat-12 engine, which was later phased out for more modern V12 powertrains.
Inspired the Design of Future Ferraris – The 512 TR’s sleek and aggressive styling influenced the design of later mid-engine Ferrari supercars, including the F355 and 360 Modena.
Facelifted into the Ferrari F512 M – In 1994, Ferrari introduced the F512 M, the final version of the Testarossa lineage, with more power (440 hp) and updated styling.
Replaced by the Ferrari 550 Maranello – The front-engine Ferrari 550 Maranello (1996) marked the end of mid-engine Ferrari 12-cylinder supercars, replacing the 512 TR and F512 M.

The 512 TR is the evolution of the Testarossa, with 428hp, refined styling, and improved handling. Only 2,261 were built, making it rarer than the original.

⚠️ Red Flags
"Testarossa Rebadged as 512 TR": Check VIN (ZFFSG17A********)
Non-OEM Exhausts: Factory system is €15k+ to replace
(Fun Fact: The 512 TR’s name stands for "Testarossa Evoluzione" – Ferrari never officially called it a "Testarossa"!)
Pro Tip: A PPI (€1,500–€3,000) must check:
Compression/leakdown tests (cylinders #7–12 are trouble spots)
Undercarriage corrosion (check subframe)
A/C functionality (€5k+ to repair if broken)
(Bonus: The 512 TR’s suspension was tuned by Nigel Mansell during his F1 stint with Ferrari!)
(Note: Japanese-market 512 TRs often have lower miles but may need EU compliance work.)
