1992 FERRARI 512 TR 4.9L V12 5MT RWD (430 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The Ferrari Testarossa was a legendary supercar that inspired the pop-culture of the ’90s, and the evolution that followed, the 512 TR, was even better.

In the ’90s, it was hard o beat Ferrari at its own game. There was only one true contender for it: the Lamborghini Diablo, but that couldn’t match its beauty. Its lines were easy to recognize, and its flat-12 sound was hard to forget.

Pininfarina designed the car with pop-up headlights and big stationary lamps on the front bumpers. The front grille was smaller than the one fitted in the Testarossa and sported rounded corners instead of just its predecessor’s squared design. Its long side slats guided the air to the mid-mounted engine were kept since they became a specific design element. In the rear, the taillights were hidden under a black grille with horizontal bars.

Ferrari designed the car as a sport-touring car, even though it could beat most of the other vehicles on the road. It offered comfortable sport-bucket seats with leather upholstery and the magical chromed metallic grate for the gear stick with a dog-leg pattern.

There was the magical flat-twelve engine upgraded behind the cabin that produced 430 hp from a 4.9-liter displacement. It featured a Bosch injection system, and the factory offered a sports exhaust system that made the car roar even better. Its track abilities were not too affected by the softer dampers needed for a relaxed drive in a touring car. Its 41/59 weight distribution allowed the vehicle to be driven hard on the race track.
