    Hi everyone

    I would like to see if anyone is interested in charring the difference between Testarossa and the 512.

    I been thinking of buying a Testarossa but I read somewhere that the 512 would be a much more modern car.

    I know Testarossa and the 512 is much more expensive to run and own than many other models but a 360 for example wouldn't do It for me.

    The pricing between the Testarossa and 512 is rather much so it would be interesting to know what that’s worth.

    Hi Tobbe from Sweden,

    I welcome you here on this F-Forum. Could you please (very shortly) inroduce yourself ?

    And please use the search function; many, many times this question arose ... and has been answered :)

    Shortly: YES, IMO the 512TR is the enhanced Testarossa ... and new things are most likely always enhancements ...

    Of course I say this because I also made this choice once and bought a ... 512TR.

    Do a lot of research first, try to find owners in Sweden and first of all: go drive one ...

    Good Luck (and you may allways PB me!) ...

    More power, improved gearbox, one piece (more rigid) frame so the engine only comes out the top for servicing, nicer wheels, all around better car like most cars that evolve over time. I don't know all the differences but there are several.

    Hi Newman and Mel

    I have updated my info. Thanks for you replay. I will use the search function and see what I will find. Sounds interesting that the engine goes out of the top when in service I would think that’s lightens the work chancing the sparkplugs. I been thinking of using a mechanic a know for service and not the Ferrari sales here in Sweden. I would also like to learn to take care of the car by my self.

    It’s a 512TR for sale here in Sweden and a couple of Testarossa’s so I will go and test them
