No. 10 of a special edition of 15 examples for the Japanese market, this 1994 Ferrari 512TR is a uniquely exclusive example of this landmark midengine V-12 classic. The special limited edition “CORNES” badge overlooking the rear deck signifies the purpose of this limited edition, which was to commemorate the then 15-year relationship between Ferrari and Cornes & Co., Japan’s leading Ferrari importer.
Launched in 1992, the 512TR took up the mantle of the enormously successful Testarossa introduced in 1984, building on that model’s success with more traditional Pininfarina styling touches that included new front and rear bumpers, more prominent driving lights and a new front grille that brought the 512TR’s visage more into line with the contemporary 348 series. New thin-spoke alloy wheels showcased the 512TR’s enormous vented disc brakes and painted Ferrari calipers. The cockpit was redesigned to improve driver ergonomics, all the while retaining a distinct Ferrari feel in such elements as the tightly grouped instrument cluster and 5-speed gated shifter.
The Testarossa’s 4.9L flat-12 engine output was increased from 380 HP to 428 HP at 6,750 RPM with sophisticated low-friction Nickasil-coated cylinder liners and vastly improved breathing. In addition to the special limited edition “CORNES” badging, the 15 Cornes Limited Edition 512TR Speciales were treated to exclusive Rosso Rubino Metalizzato paint, tan Connolly leather interior upholstery, unique three-piece alloy wheels and Cloisonné Scuderia Ferrari shields embedded in the front fenders.
Offered with an odometer reading of 24,429 kilometers, 512TR Speciale No. 10 of 15 recently received an extensive service and comes with extensive documentation and accessories that include the factory books and sales brochures, delivery information and the factory tool kit.
