In April 1991, Ferrari started the production of the 512 TR. This car was the successor of the Testarossa, with lots of improvements. Most noticeable changes were the 18" wheels in a new design, a new front bumper in the style of the 348, an new engine hood and new rear lights. Inside, there were improved seats and also the dashboard had some changes compared to the Testarossa. More important, there were lots of technical improvements, the most important being the completely new chassis design. Also the engine and gearbox were improved, and it must be said that the 512 TR is far superior in driving characteristics. In fact, this is how the Testarossa should have been from the beginning. With only 2261 cars produced between 1991 and 1994, this is a relatitvely rare Ferrari as well.
This example has still its original german registration, and is technically a one-owner car as the second owner was a Ferrari collector who never registered the car in his own name. It comes with a full service history, and is still in fantastic condition.The car has just got a full service including cambelt change, and is 100% ready for a next owner. Even the tyres are brand new.
Driving this 512 TR is quite a revelation, and it is hard to believe that this sportscar is more then 20 years old. It feels quite modern, and is really easy to drive. The magnificent 12 cilinder engine produces a fantastic sound, and offers plenty of torque and power. The driving position is perfect, and visibility is surprisingly good for such an iconic italian sportscar, certainly compared to its period competitors.
A 512 TR is becoming a very sought after classic Ferrari, and this is reflecting in the ever increasing prices. No surprise, as it is a fantastic car to drive and to look at, and of course a blue chip investment. Our example is in pristine condition, well maintained and in the desirable colour combination of Rosso Corsa with Nero hide interior. We have the feeling that it won't be available for long,..
