A symbol of an era and a generation, the Ferrari Testarossa was a well-born car, and for many, a car that was difficult to improve. But thanks to the talent of the engine manufacturers at Maranello and the genius of the Pininfarina styling centre, it was given a new lease of life under the name Ferrari 512 TR… The aims of the project were simple: improved performance and roadholding, as well as compliance with the strictest pollution and safety standards. Despite having many elements in common with the Testarossa, particularly the bodywork, the Ferrari 512 TR can almost be considered a new car. Restylings are so rare and so profound at Maranello that they almost always justify a change of name, which rather subtly takes up the famous number 512 and TR for Testa Rossa, of course.
