the design of the mirror had been
changed to a more suitable position
and matched by a passenger-side
accompaniment.
In 1991 the standard Testarossa
model was replaced by the 512 TR,
which featured a better weight
distribution (of 41 per cent to the
front and 59 per cent to the rear),
alongside larger intake valves, a
better engine management system,
and a broader power curve to assist
with better acceleration. Later, in
1995, the industry also saw the
introduction of the F512 M – it had
better weight distribution than the
512 TR. By the time the cars were
removed from the production line,
Ferrari had manufactured close to
10,000 from the Testarossa, 512 TR,
and F512 M line, making this series
one of the most popular and widely
sold Ferraris at the time.
