Description
The Ferrari 512 TR is an iconic car from the Prancing Horse marque, produced between 1991 and 1994. It represents the evolution of the legendary Testarossa, retaining its spirit whilst delivering numerous mechanical and aesthetic improvements.
Beneath the bonnet sits a 4. 9-litre flat-12 engine producing 428 horsepower. This powerplant allows the 512 TR to dispatch 0 to 100 km/ h in approximately 4. 8 seconds and reach a top speed approaching 310 km/ h—remarkable performance for its era.
The 512 TR's design, penned by Pininfarina, retains the famous side strakes characteristic of the Testarossa, whilst refining the lines for improved aerodynamics. The interior, more refined and ergonomic than its predecessor, offers a better driving position and superior quality materials.
The 512 TR also benefits from a reinforced chassis and revised suspension, which significantly enhances its handling and dynamic behaviour. It remains, however, a demanding car to drive, particularly at high speed.
Produced in just over 2, 000 examples, the 512 TR is today highly sought after by collectors. It perfectly embodies the transition between 1980s Ferraris and those of the modern era.
Both powerful, elegant and raw, the Ferrari 512 TR is an automotive legend, a symbol of an era when passion and performance dominated the supercar universe.
This 1993 Ferrari 512 TR is an exceptional example, purchased new by its current owner, who has carefully preserved it for over thirty years. A true collector's piece, it remains in its original paint to this day, testament to the meticulous care lavished upon it over the years.
The vehicle is accompanied by an extensive service history, meticulously documenting the car's entire life since delivery. Every service, every maintenance interval is properly recorded, attesting to exemplary upkeep. The Ferrari-stamped service booklet reinforces this impeccable provenance, a guarantee of integrity and quality.
This 512 TR also comes with its complete original tool kit in excellent condition, as well as its original puncture repair canister—a rare and precious detail for purists. It is currently equipped with a sports exhaust, which enhances the flat-12's sonorous character, whilst retaining the original exhaust system, supplied with the car.
In remarkable condition, both aesthetically and mechanically, this Ferrari represents a rare opportunity for enthusiasts of authentic, well-preserved examples. Its clear history, single ownership and integrity of original components make it a prime acquisition for any discerning collector.
