The Ferrari 512 TR represents one of the most significant evolutions of the legendary Testarossa lineage, refining the dramatic presence of the original while introducing meaningful mechanical and dynamic improvements. Produced between 1991 and 1994, the 512 TR featured a revised 4.9-litre flat-twelve with Bosch Motronic engine management, improved cooling and suspension, creating a sharper and more usable interpretation of Ferrari’s iconic twelve-cylinder flagship.

This 1992 example is an Australian-delivered car, presented today in a striking and sophisticated specification. Originally delivered in Blu Scuro over Crema, the car now presents in Grigio Titanio over Bordeaux — a refined Ferrari colour combination that complements the dramatic Pininfarina design particularly well. The metallic grey exterior highlights the car’s broad rear haunches, signature side strakes and purposeful stance, while the Bordeaux interior provides a rich and sporting contrast befitting Ferrari’s early-1990s flagship.

Power comes from Ferrari’s 4.9-litre Tipo F113 flat-twelve, producing approximately 421 horsepower, driving the rear wheels through the traditional 5-speed gated manual transmission. With its distinctive longitudinal engine and gearbox layout, the 512 TR delivers the unmistakable soundtrack, balance and mechanical engagement that define Ferrari’s analogue era.

Compared with the original Testarossa, the 512 TR benefited from lighter engine internals, improved intake and exhaust systems, enhanced cooling and revised suspension geometry. The result is a car that is both quicker and more composed while retaining the raw character and theatre that made the Testarossa an icon.

Today the 512 TR is widely regarded as the sweet spot of the Testarossa family, combining the purity of the original design with the engineering improvements of Ferrari’s early-1990s development. Wide, dramatic and unmistakably Maranello, the 512 TR remains one of Ferrari’s most recognisable twelve-cylinder road cars and an enduring symbol of Ferrari’s analogue era.

In our opinion, this 512 TR offers an excellent opportunity for an enthusiast to acquire one of Ferrari’s iconic twelve-cylinder models at a very reasonable price, with scope to elevate the car into an excellent example with some careful attention.
