Completed in October 1991, this early-production 512 TR is a superb example of one of Ferrari's most celebrated modern classics. Finished in the quintessential Italian sports car livery of Rosso Corsa over beige leather, it perfectly captures the bold styling and spirited elegance that define Ferrari’s flat-12 supercars of the era.
An evolution of the iconic Testarossa, the Ferrari 512 TR offered dramatic styling paired with significant mechanical and performance refinements. Its 4.9-liter flat-12 engine produced 428 horsepower, propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5.0 seconds on its way to a top speed exceeding 190 mph. Ferrari revamped the engine layout, five-speed manual gearbox, and suspension for improved balance, responsiveness, and drivability, while upgraded intake and exhaust systems enhanced both performance and the flat-12’s unmistakable soundtrack. Subtle refinements to the nose, rear deck, and integrated aerodynamic elements distinguish the 512 TR visually from its predecessor, while also improving airflow and cooling efficiency.
Sold new via Lake Forest Sports Cars (now Ferrari Lake Forest) in Illinois, this example’s low mileage—30,619 at cataloguing time—and accompanying service records indicate that it received caring upkeep throughout its life. In 2016, it joined a private family collection in the Pacific Northwest. Besides its maintenance records, a factory tool kit and manuals with a leather pouch are included in the sale.
With approximately 2,300 units produced from 1991 through 1994, the 512 TR remains far rarer than the original Testarossa, and is widely regarded as the most driver-focused and dynamically refined of the flat-12 Ferraris. Whether destined for spirited road use, concours display, or as part of a curated collection, this superb 512 TR offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a standout example of one of Ferrari's most prized contemporary icons.
