As part of its Private Sales initiative, Petrolicious is proud to offer a unique collector-grade Ferrari. The F512M, or F512 “Modificata”, represents the ultimate evolution of the Testarossa line-up. Launched in 1994, it marked the end of Ferrari’s flat-twelve era, succeeding the Testarossa and 512 TR. The car featured a 4.9L, 434-horsepower flat-twelve engine (the last of its kind), clear-lensed headlights, and circular rear lights.

If the Ferrari 512TR was light-years ahead of its Testarossa predecessor in terms of performance and driving dynamics, the F512M was, conversely, much more of a stylistic evolution of the 512TR. Yet, functional elements such as the NACA intakes incorporated into the hood, optional racing “bucket” seats, new engine pistons, titanium connecting rods and a significantly lighter crankshaft all played a role in making the car slightly livelier. What truly makes the Ferrari F512M desirable, however, is that nearly ten thousand of the famous side-strake supercars were built between 1984 and 1996, yet only 501 of these were F512Ms.

In the autumn of 1994 the F512 M, the new version of the 512, was presented (M stands for ‘modificata’ or modified). Radical improvements were made to the whole car: the power/weight ratio was improved as was the styling, while still keeping the original Pininfarina basic design.
