For those of you guys who dont know about the Testrossa.... it was Ferrari's Flagship road car from the early 90's. Car had an amazing FLAT-12 motor...... sounds like 2 911's combined :boink:

flat 12? I now love this car.

yeah, it was designed with a Flat 12 to keep all the weight as low as possible.

The car was amazing even though it wasnt really as good as it was supposed to be and the F40 Blew the Testarossa off the road

I love Testarossa's. My dads buddy used to race them and had a black one for street driving. he used to nick the front spoiler all the time and always had my dad repaint it, and would let my dad drive the car for the rest pf the week. he picked me up and dropped me off at school a few times in it. it was sweet

i pick picture #1

Never been a fan of a testarossa painted any other color than red. Just seems counterintuitive to me.

i believe they came in red, black, yellow, silver, and white

I know of a few 512TR's, and a few Testarossas in blue as well.

Maybe custom paint though. I'm fairly sure that any Ferrari could be ordered in any color at that point in time. (Except the F40 which was only Rossa Corsa)

512TR & Testrossa = Same Car

the full name is "Ferrari 512TR Testarossa :thumb:

512



Testarossa





512's look better imo, but both are sweet as hell

They are both the same exact Car.... the white one is just an earlier 512TR...the Red one is from the 90's

Ferrari's have a Number that they go by and then an Italian Name

512 is the Number..... Testarossa is the Italian Name

....New cars follow the same Method

F430 Scuderia
612 Scalietti
599 GTB Fiorano

There are not 2 Cars called the 512 and the Testarossa.... There is only one Car, The 512TR "Testarossa"

512 is the name of the Ferrari, The reason the TR is added is because the Car had Red Valve Covers. "Testarossa" in Italian means "Red Head".

The 2 cars you posted are the same, one is just older than the other

The first year Testarossa was just called a 512 but then is 91 they added the TR....same car, TINY bit more power because it was 1991.

I was gonna throw my hat in for pic #1

That aside, I don't understand rich a**holes not wanting pictures taken of their cars. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but being the type of person they are, the only reason they bought that car was for the status, or to impress people (even though that one is an older Ferrari)...so someone taking pictures of your car with a quite expensive digital SLR camera should be what he wants.

There is a guy in my neighborhood who drives a GT2, one day I saw he had it parked on the street so I drove the couple blocks home and grabbed my camera, then while I was taking pictures of it, he came out and was very cool about everything. Offered to let me check out the inside, the engine, etc...BS'ed with him for a while about it...THAT is how people with expensive cars should be.

Not gonna lie you take great pics. How much does that camera cost? Looks to be pretty expensive. I want my next digicam to have an adjustable shutter so i can take the motion pics with lights like that, so hot.
