Testarossa had engine F113a. 512TR had F133b. 512m had F133b with Titanium connecting rods (lighter) producing about 12-25 more HP. I've got a list somewhere of the differences. I'll see if I can't dig it up or recreate it later. -Ben | ||

Now, the dif between 512 TR and 512 M? I know they had a little about this in a recent Forza. More than just the headlights? | ||

A friend of mine with a Testarossa asked me to inform him what the differences are between his Testarossa & my 512TR so I thought I'd put it here in case any1 else is interested. First off the Testarossa was designed & built while Enzo was President. The 512TR was 1 of the first cars of the new Ferrari President Luca de Montelezmozo, I'm sure I hacked his name up  On the TR the engine is on a cradle along with the suspension & that entire rear assembly unbolts & drops put the bottom as 1 unit which is a great idea for maintenance & make repairing the engine very easy, it compromises handling however because it allows the chasis to be too flexible. On the 512 that rear assembly is welded into the car which of course makes the chasis much stiffer, but maintenance costs r increased as it takes much longer to remove the engine out the top. This is probably the most significant difference between our 2 cars The 512 also has F40 brakes, 40 more hp, & dropped a little over 200# in weight compared to the TR. Then of course there r rthe small cosmetic changes to the front bumper & interior. They r both wonderful cars, just the 512 is better suited to a track screwball like me |
