The 1992 Ferrari 512 TR: A /DRIVE Film.

[@TheCriticalAss]

I can't really find a more appropriate forum to tell my story than this, although probably noone is going to read it. But I have to get it out of my system. So let's begin. I was around 6 years old. Year 1994. My father got a scholarship for phd-students (he was an assistant professor teaching informatics back then) in northern Italy. He got a little apartment in Gallarate, near Milan. He spent several months there, and we went to visit him with my mom and my little brother, who was 4 at the time. So he doesn't remember much, and neither do I, but still, I conserved the essence of the place. I'm Hungarian by the way. So imagine: a 6 years old boy, from Eastern Europe, where 4 years ago was still socialism. I've arrived to northern Italy, the richest region of the country with the best looking cars the world has ever seen. We went by car. An old, Czechoslovakian stallion, the Skoda 105S. You can imagine the faces of the Italians overtaking us in Alfas on the highway. They were laughing so bad. And we had to stop occasionally to refill the cooling system with water from the rice fields, because the summer heat wasn't very merciful with the rear-engined car - the radiator was placed in the front, a major design flaw -, we had to turn up the heat to the maximum, and only the front windows were able to lower. This function for the rear ones was an optional extra. But nevertheless, we arrived, and although we were obviosly short on money (both of my parents were teachers back then. Imagine the average salary for an Eastern European high school teacher and an assistant professor...), we really enjoyed everything. One day, we've decided to visit Zürich in Switzerland. It was pretty close, so we went there by car. We parked it somewhere, and then we took a walk in the center. And there, between the old buildings, on a narrow street, a Ferrari 512 Testarossa turned into our direction. A red one, obviously. It was as wide as the street, we had to put our backs against the wall to let it pass. I really couldn't believe my eyes that something like that exists. Me, the little boy from the poor and undeveloped Eastern European country, where the streets are filled with Ladas, Skodas, Polski Fiats, two-stroke Trabants, occasionally a used Panda - so basically only shitty cars, and stopping to refill the cooling system with ricefield water is completely normal -, there I stand, and this magnificent, wide, flat, intimidatingly humming huge red beast goes by. I didn't have any base for comparison in my mind. The first time I saw a Ferrari in real life, and it was a 512 Testarossa. I've never seen one ever since. But this movie really brings me back there, because without any words, it communicates the whole package, the clean message of what this car is about. I still have difficulties to put in words, and obviously back then I had nothing but the feeling that I'm seeing something from another galaxy, but here's what I have: this car made me a fanatic petrolhead. This very car kindled that huge fire in my soul what cars mean to me today. I've always thought that the Countach is a more outrageous car, and honestly, it is. But this one is just pure, pure '80-s beauty, and the definition of THE supercar to me. And the starting point of a fantastic journey I'm still going on. Whoever reads this, thank you for wasting your time on my stupid little detour on memory lane here. A little kid from Hungary approves :)

[@bumblebee9019]

TheCriticalAss ... cool story, I thought it would be about seeing Ferraris in Italy. The Testarossa is an icon and one of the top 10 cars in my opinion. A car collection would not be complete without a red-head, nor a Countach. I'd like to say that Ferrari has made more beautiful cars since the Testarossa, but nothing comes to mind. Isten veled.

[@NESherv]

I have seen this video four or five times, and I still love it. An 80's Ferrari, a white jacket, a Rolex, South of France...and British humor It is for me one the best video of Chris Harris.

[@WB_19]

One of the most recognizable sportcar ever built. you don't even need to be a car enthusiast to know thats a Ferrari. The Ferrari Testarossa is as iconic as the Kalashnikov AK47 is in the world of firearms. This car is a 20th century icon. .

​@@raoiii8352but it's a derivative of the iconic 80s Testarossa, and the white suit is clearly a nod to the iconic white suit that Crocket wore in the Miami Vice show while driving....a Testarossa.

[@kassenz]

The part I loved, is How Ferrari designed the perfect amount of space in the vehicle for crap, stuff, and crying kids. None. No Power steering, no automatic transmission, No turbo lag, No outdated GPS NAV screen. Flat 12 with 48 valves singing to your manual analog control. cheers

Great filming. I loved the testarossa growing up. It's one of the most beautiful things ever designed.

[@EduSanjuan777]

Funnily enough designed by FIAT not Pininfarina, and a lot of people in Ferrari didn't like the design including Enzo. The sales numbersproved them wrong though.

[@biggreensparkle]

Undoubtably one of the most stunning pieces of film I've seen in ages. Great camera work - that TR is schoolboy dream car stuff and sounded amazing

[@Baby1961-i5e]

I messed up big time. Here in San Diego, several years ago in downtown at an historic car museum/dealership was selling a clean Testarossa in white (Totally "Miami Vice") that just had the $10k belt service done and only about 20k miles on it and they were selling it for $30k because they were cleaning house (it's a small place). I was going to buy it, but for some reason I backed out, and now they're going for like $100k+. Huge missed opportunity. This freakin' video had to remind me. Thanks Harris. Thanks.

Funny story, my dad used to work at a warehouse that stored things for a probate court. A drug dealer got in trouble and they stored a Ferrari Testarossa and a bunch of other cars for the court. The cars had already been gone through to find any drugs or drug money in the car. But somebody my dad worked with found a hidden compartment with thousands of dollars in it.

[@tollytimepropulsion5252]

Chris really caught the moment with his best "Crockett" face and cotton wardrobe. If you're not from the 80's, you didn't get any of it. It was one of the best vintage car reviews ever and not a single word was spoken! The Testarossa mostly came in red, the side vent styling was outlandish, and it leaned real heavy in the corners. You had to know what you were doing with this car or you would find yourself wrapped around a tree. The gated shifter and camel interior! This was the ultimate statement! It was a legend (inside and out)! I love the Testarossa! All you haters can F-Off! This car was the first supercar you could actually drive around in town. You would need to drive early in the morning or late at night in warm climates. The air conditioning couldn't keep up on a hot day. This was the car that revolutionised the "supercar" breed!!

[@viowave]

***** I think it was about the Ferrari V12 by greatest. But you are right that the F355 was one of the last great V8 's on a timeline of 'pure' driving. However I must say that the 458 in all its versions- as I like the mid-V8's a bit more - did grew on me immensely... It got that aggressive predator look , what was missing for 30 years. give it a few years and maybe the 488 I can add to it as well..

[@Tommyblueeyes]

This is a 512 TR not the 80s testarossa that don drove in MV.

[@rotor13]

Why do I love these older Ferrari's? Because a competent and detail oriented mechanic can still work on them on their own, at their own house. Can't do that with the 360 and newer models.

[@sstaiger]

A major service for the TRs means engine out. My deepest respect to anyone who does that at their own house.

[@rotor13]

I've done it a few times when working for a certified repair shop, owned and operated by a Ferrari Engineer in Colorado. Put the car on jackstands, use an engine lift. The part that is tedious is disconnecting everything in the engine bay to access the engine mounts, because you can't just get at them from the bottom, you have to get at them from the top. Its not like a Honda where you can have it out in about an hour, it takes a long time yes. But its very doable.

I don't care if paddles change gear quicker open gate manual is just better

[@philipdalton2144]

It's an individual view I think. Technically, a modern paddle shift type gearbox(DSG/PDK etc) is better as it's faster/smoother etc, but personally I'd prefer an open gate manual as it's more involving.

[@danewilbanks1]

Actually it IS from a driving point of view, and that's absolutely the point. It isn't better for the numbers game, or on paper. But driving? That's the sole reason for a manual.

The Ferrari 512TR. As much as I love the limited models such as the F40-F50, etc. If I had the money to buy any Ferrari on the face of the Earth, I'd get the Ferrari 512TR. The most beautiful and one of the most different Ferraris ever made.

[@il_sassaroli]

Simply the best. I saw her once on the highway. Gorgeous as it advanced as if the road was all its own. On the side, the enjoyment of the 12 cylinders that stomps and becomes a ferocious melody ready to attack. From behind, the beautiful back that seems to eat the road. Something that makes you shiver, the certainty that if there is a car with a lot of soul and voice, it is the TR. Of Ferrari I have always dreamed of 12 cylinders, aspirated, boxer and flat. No 8 cylinders of Maranello, although performing and bad, can fight against this sound. Point. The rest is just commercial. Of course, cars like GTO, and F40 make a separate story. Always respectful. But the Testarossa series, except the M, I still consider it, the most exciting as bodywork, engine and driving.

[@andrewlongfield3102]

I think the most beautiful and desirable Ferrari's ever made were made in the fifties. If I could own just one, then it would be either a 250 Europa, a 340 America, or a 410 Super America. I think the market agrees with me too, as these are the cars that command the highest prices, other than the 250GTO, which is an anomaly in some ways. The earlier cars are rarer. While there were nearly fifty GTO's, the earlier cars were done in numbers like 8, or 15. Yes this makes them harder to get your hands on, and is one of the reasons there aren't many clips of them on youtube. I bet Chris Harris would drool to do a test on a 410. I like his 512 TR, they are a very good Ferrari, but nothing like the old hand built fifties cars. I have to say, i thoroughly approve of the way Chris exercises his cars properly. After all these were the top 'performance' cars of their respective era's, so it doesn't make sense to drive them sedately. I have a 73 Espada, and it's when you are pushing the car close to it's capability that the real essence of the car shines through.

These videos are a great source of motivation to earn a fortune and get a few myself. Keep them coming Chris!

FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!

At 1:52 We see Chris Harris channeling his inner Sonny Crockett.. Lol.. Pardon me what's you're name ? Johnson, Don Johnson.. Awesome short Chris but I think your narrative can sell everyone on pretty much any car.. Some people start watching your reviews about some cars with opinions formed, decision made thinking this fucking thing is dog shit with 4 tires & a steering wheel & nothing Chris Harris can say or show me will ever make me change my mind.. Cut to the last 10 seconds of your review & these same people are now thinking, Chris made some valid points it's actually not a bad little car.. Followed by the next thought DAMNIT !!! Why is he so likeable & a damn good driver too.. Your bread & butter Chris, I'm telling ya..

[@KushanWijendra]

Thank you Chris and Drive network, for making this. It put a big smile on my face, which will last through out the week. On a separate topic, Kavinsky anyone? ;)

[@gregtevanian]

As the owner of a 512TR, I loved this video. I can't wait till spring to pull the car out!

[@SlavaHero]

All-time car video ever. After all these years.

[@Magnero]

People on automotive show are always banging on about how ugly this thing looks. The only think I can say is they weren't 8 years old when this car was being built. I loved the way it looked then and I still do.

[@dvamateur]

I was 10 years old when Testarossa came out. I didn't like it back then, it was too radical and new, at least on pictures. I much preferred 288 GTO which came out the same year. But the Testarossa quickly grew on me. The main things missing for me on the 512TR is the lack of characteristic Testarossa headrests and the amber/red tail lights looked better too than white/red. Still, this is THE most beautiful Ferrari. If so many people consider this ugly, I don't really know what to say...

While he enjoys bread, we savour his breadcrumbs.

[@StereoSoundAgent]

this, and Kavinsky's Protovision

[@FeverythingAboutThis]

The best automotive enthusiasts film i've seen in a long time. Well done.

[@paulwagner8649]

The most iconic car ever made. Period.

[@Patrick94GSR]

Can we compare this video to the 512TR vid posted by Doug Demuro last week? Should we? :-P

[@davidebonannini640]

Patrick94GSR this video is much cooler than Demuro's, i guess.

[@Patrick94GSR]

I would tend to agree, of course.

[@jippalippa]

I think the 1984 testarossa looks much more stylish.

[@Das_Rami]

Dear Santa....

[@Hypalinx]

One of my dream cars, always has been. Always will be !

[@bernardsandmayer4451]

Fact is - humility leads to this. Chris is beyond Britty' self deprecation in this one. Seriously man. You just encapsulated it!

[@NORML85]

Upload another copy without the "music" I want to hear the soundtrack of the 512 TR!

[@codydeese1948]

why did he throw the bread down like that though XD

[@mro9466]

+Cody Deese because CAR GUY

[@EpiphanyOne2]

Cuz the(always SNOBBY)"French Baker" was very RUDE to our beloved "Chris Harris!"

[@R90909]

Shitty moods can be attributed to the come down

[@mmessina4321]

chris could you please do a similar test just with a 308 gtb? would be really cool

[@3089280288]

GTS!

[@emperorbobarino]

Well mother trucking done. The effort to complete capture that late 80's early 90's vibe was excellent. Golf clap, sir. Golf clap...

[@dan280]

Chris this is great. I've only just seen this but it's so nice to see you all being creative for the hell of it instead of telling us all about the cars. I'm not complaining about the informative videos but this is a nice break from the norm. I tried to find other /DRIVE films on the channel but there weren't any. What the feck? This is great and you should make more of them! Love this kind of stuff.

[@onurkarabulut912]

Should you turn down sound of music. Because we don't hear nice sound of engineer but at anyway wonderful

[@bwilliamblock]

Plot was a bit thin, but great soundtrack.

[@FFE1TB]

that's because this video is porn

[@NESherv]

The drive is the plot.

[@Redstone2K12]

some kavinsky would have made this video

[@wojciechkotas8887]

2:23 - like me driving my ND mx5 - love those slight drifts. When I have wathing this AMAZING video 5 years ago, I did not expected my life will be so fortunate.

[@gulf627]

Thank you guys of Drive for the video! Just wonderful!
