     Comments    

In 1987, three years after the introduction of the Testarossa, Ferrari started to develop its successor, which would become known as the 512 TR. Many persons think that the 512 TR is almost equal to the Testarossa, but there are hundreds of changes, not only from the outside, but mainly from the inside.
 
 The engine (type F113D040 with Bosch Motronic 2.7) was completely new, just like 80% of all other mechanical parts. From the outside, the main difference with the Testarossa were: 18 inch wheels with a new design; the disappearance of the black stripe at the lower part of the side; a new front bumper like the 348 series; new engine hood, modified fins; new rear lights and finally a completely new interior.
 
 The first modified 1:1 models were tested in the windtunnel of Pininfarina in early 1988. The development of the engines started in early 1989. They tested 24 engines in 22 prototypes (18 US versions and 4 Euro versions). These prototypes were modified Testarossas and had the chassis type F110 EB. Most important aspects of the testing were dependability and certification. The majority of the tests were performed between February 1990 and July 1991, at places the tracks of Balocco, Fiorano, Mugello and Nardo, but also on the normal road and in northern Sweden (ABS tests).
 
 The prototypes probably didn't have any serialnumbers, but just a two-digit internal number. Pre-production started in January 1991 and most of those cars were meant for the USA. Among the prototypes / pre-productions cars are s/n 86815 and s/n 87440. Both cars still exist and are currently located in the USA.
 
 During the development of the 512 TR, the car was shown to a small group of Ferrari and Fiat top brass at Pininfarina's Cambiano centre in early 1991. The finished car was first presented to a limited group of journalists on November 13th 1991 in Maranello. In the same month, the car was also shown to a small number of Ferrari dealers and owners in Monaco, at the "Salle L'Empereur" of the Hôtel de Paris. The official presentation was on January 2nd 1992 at the Los Angeles Salon, USA. The European introduction was on January 14th 1992 at the Brussel Motorshow, Belgium.
 The production chassis type was F110 HB.
