Overview

1999 Ferrari 512TR finished in classic Rosso Red with beautiful Tan leather interior, showing just 19,504 km / 12,119 miles and fitted with the legendary gated manual gearshift every Ferrari enthusiast dreams about.

This is not just another Ferrari.

The Ferrari 512TR is one of the last truly outrageous analogue supercars ever produced and values have been climbing rapidly as collectors chase the raw driving experience modern cars simply cannot recreate. The combination of a naturally aspirated 4.9 litre flat 12 engine, open gated manual transmission and dramatic wide body styling makes the 512TR one of the most exciting Ferraris you can own today.

Every gear change feels mechanical.

Every throttle input feels alive.

And the sound from the flat 12 engine is something that genuinely goes through you when driving.

This particular example is also Left Hand Drive making it perfectly suited for collectors and buyers across Europe and the Middle East.

Why The Ferrari 512TR Is Becoming A Hidden Collector Gem

The Ferrari 512TR sits directly after the original Testarossa in Ferrari’s history and for many enthusiasts it is actually the better car to own and drive.

Ferrari refined the chassis, improved the engine performance and sharpened the overall driving experience while keeping the iconic wide body side strakes and dramatic rear engine layout that made the Testarossa world famous.

What makes the 512TR so special today is that it still feels completely analogue. No complicated driving modes, no hybrid systems and no digital interference. Just a massive naturally aspirated flat 12 mounted behind the driver and one of the greatest manual gearshifts ever created.

Collectors are now recognising that cars like the 512TR simply will never be made again.

Despite increasing values, the 512TR still remains within reach compared to many other blue chip Ferraris which is exactly why demand continues to grow globally.

Everyone loves a Red Ferrari and this one is guaranteed to attract serious attention in the auction.

Condition Overview

Achieving a Grade 4 on a classic Ferrari like this is still considered very strong and confirms the vehicle has been cared for properly throughout its life.

The auction inspector has noted a handful of age related items including air conditioning faults, headlining sagging and some cosmetic imperfections, all of which are typical observations on analogue Ferraris of this era.

Importantly, the structure and overall presentation remain strong which is why this Ferrari still achieved a Grade 4 overall.

This is exactly the kind of collector Ferrari buyers should be targeting. Honest, usable and properly maintained examples that can still be enjoyed while values continue rising.
