testarossa, tr, 512, 512tr, 512m... what is the difference?

I've been searching the old threads trying to figure it out. I understand that there are hp, suspension, etc... differences, but are they just newer and therefore more evolved versions of the same car??
Thanks for the clarification.

The Testarossa was the first. Next was the 512tr, followed by the final incarnation, the F512m. The latter two were indeed newer, more evolved versions of the same car.
'tr' is shorthand for any of those 3 models. I hope this helps.

 

The models is:

Testarossa or TR (TestaRossa)
512TR
F512M or 512M

Testarossa is the firs and original Pininfarina design of 1985.

512TR have new interior, ABS, 18" wheels, electronic injection, +HP and new brakes.

For F512M see the link : http://www.cavallino.cc/index.php?section=stradali/ferraris/modele/f512m

 

The frame & suspension are different, as well.
