Ferrari 512 TR '92 1992

General description : Comes with catalogues, maintenance booklets and a manual Belgian vehicle With a true photo gallery of the latest thorough maintenance Brings all Testarossa’s perfection to a new level Last flat-twelve Ferrari made The Ferrari 512 TR is an evolution of the coveted and praised Ferrari Testarossa, which truly emerged as a film star due to its leading role in the TV series Miami Vice. Despite numerous other acquired accolades, the goose that laid the golden eggs was clearly not plucked; on the contrary, the audience demanded for an encore, and in 1991, it was granted, when the Testarossa was succeeded by the 512 TR. While its predecessor, the Testarossa, seemed to flirt with the boundaries of perfection, the 512 TR took it a step further. The powertrain remained almost identical to the previous one, which also reveals the traditional Ferrari model name: 'TR' standing for Testa Rossa, referring to the iconic red cylinder head; '5' signifies the five-litre engine displacement; '12' represents the twelve horizontally mounted cylinders in a flat, boxer arrangement located in the middle of the vehicle, just like in the Testarossa. However, thanks to a higher compression ratio, the 512 TR managed to produce almost forty more horsepower, resulting in higher torque at higher RPMs. The manual gearbox, which guarantees a rush of happiness-inducing hormones upon operation, is mounted lower and has been overall improved. The gearbox was, in fact, sometimes a sensitive point with the Testarossa. It's clear that Ferrari aims to elevate even the best to a higher level; ‘the sky is the limit’. The 512 TR is the ideal Testarossa, boasting a design that is somewhat more modern than the Testarossa's, exuding a '90s vibe. The prancing horse emblem now adorns the rear center, the pop-up headlights are retained, the front bumper is painted to modern standards, and they move away from the extensive use of plastic that was seen before. The wheels also undergo a rework, and inside, the focus is on making the sporty seats more ergonomic. The Ferrari 512 TR was produced until 1994, marking a bold step toward a modern era for Ferrari. After 2261 units were manufactured, the 512M was revealed, which in turn brought more modern innovations. The ranks of Ferrari classics are now rightfully joined by the 512 TR, and its value is firmly on the rise.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right?
Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.

Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.

Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.

In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
