    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?

    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.

    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.
