At first glance, the Ferrari 512 TR looks strikingly similar to its predecessor, the Testarossa, and one could be forgiven for believing there is little difference between the two. However, closer inspection reveals a host of subtle styling revisions, artfully executed by Pininfarina to update the car for the mid-1990s without sacrificing any of the original visual punch. Work included redesigned C-pillars, engine lid, and bumpers, which housed new driving lights and brake-cooling ducts at the front. More prominent were the TR's new 18-inch alloy wheels, with slim spokes for a lower and lighter overall appearance. Inside, new seats and instrument housings added to the list of changes over the outgoing Testarossa, but these were minor compared to what was going on beneath the skin.
The 512 TR's mid-mounted twelve-cylinder engine was subject to a significant redesign to include higher compression (up from 8.7:1 to 10.0:1), Nikasil-coated aluminum cylinder liners, larger intake valves, revised cams, more efficient intake and exhaust, and new electronics, boosting output from 380 horsepower to 421 horsepower. To lower the center of gravity, the engine was also mounted about an inch lower in the chassis, now with increased rigidity, larger-diameter cross-drilled disc brakes, and lighter suspension components. These improvements made a significant difference not only in its subjective handling feel, but also on the short Fiorano test track where the 512 TR was a full second faster than the outgoing Testarossa.
Finished in the rarely seen combination of Nero over Nero leather, this stunning 1993 512 TR shows just 18,202 kilometers (approximately 11,310 miles) recorded at the time of cataloging and is presented in superb condition. Delivered new via Maranello Sports Cars of Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada, this car benefits from consistent service history, as shown on the accompanying CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Highlights of the service history include a major service by Ferrari of Vancouver in 2015 which included an extensive chassis overhaul encompassing new upper and lower control arm bushings, shock bushings, sway bar bushings, and ball joints. More recently, a fresh engine-out timing belt service was performed by Ferrari specialist Alex Traverso of Scottsdale, Arizona, completed in October 2026.
As offered, this 512 TR is in superb order and features an updated Clarion audio head unit and Tubi Style exhaust system to best enjoy the symphony of your choosing. It is furnished with the factory tool kit and tire inflator in the leather case, a VIN-matched warranty booklet, and owner's manual set in the original Schedoni leather wallet.
When new, the great Phil Hill, writing for Road & Track, declared the 512 TR was “... three-quarters of the F40 with all the conveniences of a modern GT.” Blurring the lines between supercar and grand tourer, this gorgeous and fully serviced 512 TR is a visually arresting, breathtakingly quick, and highly capable grand tourer, ready to devour the miles at an astonishing rate.
