    IF you were to remake the testarossa (most of the overall look outside at least), what would you change? Could one do something with the tail and the pop up lights? oculd one do somehting with the wheels? could one make the interior more like the chiron or rolls? could one do something about the lights behind? and the exhaust pipe looks? could one add rear seats without screwing up the design? What would you do if you had a team of 100 people on the ready to remake the car from a clean sheet? For one one could make it carbon fibre and stuff.

    I find myself commenting on all 512 TR reviews like this, so here I go again; I have one and have done about 50000 km/ 35000 miles in it. It is a wonderful car to drive. Take it on trips, drive nice roads with 50 mph/ 80-90 kph speed limit ( meaning you can bash the car around at up to 150 mph!). I am 6ft 2in ( 190 cm) tall with 45 euro size shoes. No big problem fitting in. It drives really good and you feel special the whole time. It is underappreciated. Does cost a bit to maintain ( mainly when the differential break ( It will break, I guarantee you. 20 000 usd/euro) + timing belt-change every 4 years( 5000 usd/ euro incl. oil and some other bits that you probably need to replace from time to time) but it doesn`t loose value so in the end it is not that expensive after all :-)

    Great car and in my opinion the best car in the Testarossa series. Faster and better handling than the original car but still great a great looking car. The later 512M had a little more power but I've never been a fan of the styling.

    515TR is simply the Testarossa perfected. More modern front end and bigger, better designed wheels make for nice upgrades.

    Steering wheel extensions are available to bring the wheel closer to you. I have one on my Testarossa. It’s just an inch thick but makes a big difference.

    I still not understand why is the Testarossa not considered a Hypercar and as good and beautiful like the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo and La Ferrari !?

    Because it is an iconic somewhat comfortable 12 cyclinder GT car …. it is not as rare, raw, edgy or extreme as the said mentioned limited Ferrari’s
