    Anyone have an idea on updated F512M asking prices. I 'assume' the selling prices are a bit lower.

    10,000-20,000 mile cars.

    Surely an M isn’t worth 3x the price of a TR? I mean in terms of being 3x the better car?

    I feel you are correct, but, Is a 550 Barchetta worth 3x the price of a 550 Maranello?

    Let’s face it, if the M was not rare it would not be considered a highly regarded car; it’s far from being generally considered as Ferrari pretty but then again they didn’t make many hence its price.

    To each his own.
    I own one and I find it prettier than the standard 512TR. And that is why I bought one. I respect everyone's opinion. We all have different tastes.

    As a young teen in the Testarossa era, they were always a distant second to the Countach. But, to me, the M was by far the coolest. If I were to get a Testarossa, it would only be an M. The changes they made, particularly the front end styling are great. So, yes, rarity is nice, but I’d still like it Best even if the 512 TR and M production numbers were flipped. But, that’s just one opinion.

    I’m pretty sure If u were to look at the poll done recently on this forum the overwhelming majority found the 512TR,then TR then M to be the prettiest. I wouldn’t want a M for the world but each person have their preferences like you said;)

    but the rear end looks terrible ( in my old eyes )

    for free of course ! ! ! :)
    even about nearly double the price of a testarossa ( because of the improvement from the technic ), but never 3 times more

    Other vehicles are in the same boat with respect to supply and demand.

    Supply and demand set market price.


    LP 400 Countach / LP 5000 QV F.I. Countach.
    Miura SV / Miura
    300SL / 190SL - cosmetically the two cars have similar design, but different prices
    F512M / Testarossa
    250 GT Cabriolet Series II / 250PF
    2005 GT2 / 2001 996 TT

    300SL & 190SL Shouldn't be in that list.
    everything else I can see.

    Why not the SLs? A good 190 is at least 200k and 300 is a million no?

    2 different platforms
    Then youd compare a 308 with a Boxer
    A Testarossa/328
    A Countash/Jalpa

    Now we can argue the list but not the number one... being European I almost threw up the first time I saw a multipla;)
    The Ff actually grew on me with the right specs;)

    I should have added more information. The two only look somewhat similar. (300SL and 190SL)

    Actually in my opinion there are quite a few ugly Ferraris but I will not name them. That is a little like telling a proud new mother her baby is ugly. All puppy's are cute, not all babies are cute.

    Though, I do agree, the M is a cool looking car, in great measure because they got rid of the disastrous hide away headlights. The wheels on the other hand are a crime against humanity.
