Despite being visually similar to the outgoing Testarossa, the new Ferrari 512 TR’s Pininfarina body softened the angular lines of the outgoing model. However, the most significant changes were beneath the skin and demonstrate that the 512 TR was far more than a facelift.


Looking to compete with Lamborghini’s new Diablo, the 512 TR’s chassis was modified to incorporate a one-piece rear sub-frame that allowed the engine to sit an inch lower, improving road-holding and lowering its centre of gravity. Improvements to the suspension geometry greatly benefitted handling as well. The addition of a Bosch engine management system, larger intake valves and a revised exhaust, among other elements, raised peak output to 428 bhp. Power was channelled through a new single-plate clutch, which vastly improved the quality of gear changes. A top speed of 195 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds illustrate its impressive performance.



This Rosso Corsa over Nero example was produced for the 1993 model year and presents immaculately. Purchased by its current owner in 2011, it has covered less than 1000 km in his ownership, showing 27,470 km on the odometer. A detailed appraisal of the car was undertaken by Bernard Loof GmbH in April 2016, who found it to be in excellent shape, even finding the paintwork to be entirely original with consistent paint depths on every panel; something of a rarity on many Ferraris of this era.
