Smile Example

I think the 512 (TR) is THE example of ferrari, perfect lines, the back looks cool, but the back of Modena and Maranello are better, but the headlights.... that's butifull!!

Yeah, I really like the back end on them (and 348's). Gives you a break from the regular round lights.

not sure

I like the round lights, but I also like the 512's lights. I just like the 512!

Well, yeah, I like the round lights too, it's just that the louvered ones are a pleasant change.

The replacement for the 512TR (predecessor to the 550) is the short lived F512M. It had basically the same body, but round lights in the back. I don't really like the look of round lights on a TR, personally.

hard choice

I'm split, but i think i like the round lights more, i just don't like the headlights of the 512 M, they just don't look very "Ferrari", i love the pop up lights on the testarossa family. but i like the headlights on the 360, F50...

512M

The 512M has always struck me as a bizarre "kit car" of sorts. You can clearly see the beauty of the 512TR underneath, but then there's all this "stuff". You've got the 355's "grille", the F40's headlights (sort of) and I absolutely hate those twist wheels.

The 512TR is awesome and the 550 Maranello is possibly the most beautiful car on earth; I just don't see where the hybrid mish-mash that is the 512M fits in. Then again, I'm probably being too harsh - after all it's still a 12 cyl. Ferrari!

I agree

Wow the things you learn everyday. the 512M is just a mix of the 355, F40, and 512TR/Testarossa that was put in a blender. it just has too many things gonig on. i like the simplicity of the 512TR. I love Ferrari's, i truly do.

Yeah, the Testarossa really went out in shame with the 512M...the first was beautiful, the 512TR was even better with all the 80's design stuff updated, then the 512M kinda screwed it all up. Oh well. The 550's here now, baby yeah!

I agree with Heep. The 512M doesn't have the unity of design you'd expect, at least after you can recognize the parts from the other cars.
