Timeline

The Ferrari 512 TR, featuring a 4.9-liter flat-12 engine, produces 428 PS (422 hp) and reaches 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, with a top speed of 313.8 km/h (195.0 mph). Significant engineering updates over its predecessor include Nikasil liners, a new air intake system, Bosch engine management, and larger intake valves, resulting in a broader power band. Gearshift efforts were reduced through design improvements. Handling was enhanced by repositioning the engine and gearbox, quicker steering, and new shock settings. The interior and exterior were redesigned, notably with integrated spoilers and a new engine cover. The 512 TR features 18-inch wheels with different tire sizes for the front and rear. It faced recalls for fuel hose fitting issues and seat belt restraints. The 512 TR is culturally notable, appearing in the 1994 video game "The Need For Speed" and the "Forza" series, as well as in the "Sailor Moon" animated series.
