SUMMARY
This beautifully-presented example is offered from an exceptional Ferrari Collection with just 29,000km and Ferrari Classiche Certification.
DESCRIPTION
The Testarossa was first seen at the Paris Motor Show in 1984. Its name derived from the legendary 1957 Ferrari 250 GT, and the car went on to achieve many awards including "Design of the Year" and the "Car Design Award". This acclaim recognised not only the brilliant aesthetics of the car but its technical accomplishments as well. It's difficult to surpass excellence, particularly when compared with such an illustrious predecessor as the original Testarossa - a car which had already attained a particularly high level of performance, maximum speed, acceleration, and road handling.
So how was it going to be possible to proceed one step further? In 1991, the answer came in the form of Ferrari's new 512 TR. The TR represented a significant step up in Ferrari performance and, with 41 more horsepower than its predecessor, the new 428bhp engine shaved a whole second off the already impressive 5.7 seconds 0-60mph acceleration. The chassis was extensively reconstructed, as was the 5-speed manual transmission and brakes, and the bodywork received a minor facelift, giving the TR a more aggressive stance whilst still retaining that distinctive Testarossa style.
This lovely left-hand drive 512 TR dates from 1992 and is classically finished in Rosso Corsa with a black leather interior. It was originally supplied new to Japan and subsequently shipped to Dubai some time later before being purchased by its current owner, our vendor, in 2015 and imported to the UK. It presents really well and is described as being "in very good condition with good paint and interior and driving well". Perhaps, most importantly, the TR is in possession of its 'Ferrari Classiche', Certificate of Authenticity along with the famous 'Red Book' offering peace of mind to the car's next owner.
