1994 Ferrari 512 TR — Euro-Spec
Overview
Offered from the final production year of the Ferrari 512 TR, this 1994 European-market example is one of the most desirable iterations of Ferrari's legendary flat-12 berlinetta. Delivered new in Switzerland before being imported to the United States in 2001, the car is finished in Rosso Corsa over beige Connolly leather and displays just 29,000 miles. Based on its chassis number, the car is said to be among the last 100 examples for the 1994 model year produced. As one of the final 512 TRs built, it benefits from many of the factory mechanical refinements introduced during production, including standard antilock brakes and the later-specification drivetrain components that have become highly sought after by knowledgeable collectors. Its chassis falls within the desirable late-production VIN range, while its gearbox features the later Tipo 124859 casting, forged differential, and dowel-pinned ring gear design carried into the succeeding F512 M. The engine also benefits from Ferrari's upgraded 20 mm quill shaft, a notable improvement over earlier examples that enhances long-term drivetrain durability.
Beyond its desirable specification, this 512 TR has received extensive recent servicing centered around a comprehensive engine-out service completed in 2024. The work included replacement of a cylinder head stud, valve stem seals, timing belts, tensioner bearing, accessory drive belts, spark plugs, and the engine mount pad, addressing one of the model's most important maintenance milestones. Additional work includes replacement of the shock absorbers and door seals in 2023, refinishing of the rear bumper cover in 2024, and a fresh oil service and battery replacement in 2025. Performance remains true to Ferrari's original vision, with the 4.9-liter DOHC flat-12 producing 428 horsepower through a five-speed gated manual transaxle and limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Sport tires, air conditioning, power windows, pop-up headlights, and a Capristo exhaust system, while the original factory exhaust accompanies the sale.
Representing one of the last great analog Ferraris powered by a naturally aspirated flat-12, this final-year 512 TR combines the purity of Pininfarina's timeless design with the benefit of Ferrari's late-production engineering revisions and extensive recent maintenance. Accompanied by engine-out service documentation, manufacturer literature, the original exhaust system, complete factory tool kit, car cover, windshield sunshade, tire inflation kit, two sets of keys, a spare set of tires, and a clean Carfax report, this highly specified Swiss-delivery example offers collectors an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most thoroughly developed and mechanically desirable 512 TRs produced.
