512 Speciale?

Does anyone know about the 1993 512 Speciale? I came acrossed one from a website that has a pic http://community.webshots.com/album/422080490TzuIUq

and I looked at a website called Ferrari Enthusiastic and it says that there were 15 made. Does anyone know about these supposed cars?

looks like a 512tr to me with some nice alloys on it till you read who has posted it he knows more about testarossa/512tr/f512m than anybody

 

This car has been modified by the well known German firm of Koenig.

It looks as though it has had the side strakes removed - which is often the case, gained a modified front and possibly some extra air scoops. A twin turbo conversion is available.

As Steve says, Edvar knows more about these cars than most and I am sure that he could give you chapter and verse.

I think that Tahoe Guy is talking about that Testarossa with modular wheels of the central photo of the last row of the page.

I´ve heard something about a special series wich was only sold in Japan, built for the 15th anniversary of the Japanesse importer. Apart from the wheels and a few details, it was a standard TR.

Do a search in the forum for more accurate info, I´ve already seen it around here.

 

These are Edvar's pics, a fellow Fchatter (nick: evandaalen). Visit his site: www.red-headed.com

edit: like Steve has already mentioned.

 

The "512TR speciale" cars were sold through the Ferrari dealer Cornes in Japan. 15 cars made. 2 parts wheels, side Ferrari Badges and special metallic burgundy red color if I remember well. No engine mods.

I tried to do a search but all I found was that there were 15 but no explanation about them. I thought maybe it was some "in between" model of the 512 TR and the F512M? But it makes since that it was a Commentarive marke special car. Thanks guys.
