1995 | Ferrari 512 M
Overview
This 1995 Ferrari 512 M arrives finished in attractive Rosso Corsa over a Nero leather interior. Launched in 1994 as a revised, and ultimately the final version of the Italian brand’s highly coveted Testarossa supercar, the 512 M (M for ‘modificata’ or modified) was improved top to bottom to elevate it to the performance standards of the 1990s, whilst preserving the classic Pininfarina body that distinguished it as Ferrari’s flagship model of the time. Styling touches distinguishing the Ferrari 512 M ranged from fixed headlights (replacing the Testarossa’s signature retractable headlights), circular rear taillights, three-piece alloy wheels, and a new front fascia design. Mechanical upgrades included titanium connecting rods, lighter engine components, updated suspension settings, and anti-lock brakes.

This European-market example was originally sourced from Germany by the selling dealer before being exported to the United States in late 2024, where it received a U.S title and was registered in North Carolina. Available service documentation showcases care and maintenance by a Ferrari specialist in Germany and a specialist workshop upon the car’s arrival in the United States, ensuring this Ferrari is in excellent working order. Ready to be used for leisure or spirited drives alike, this sorted example awaits its next keeper.
.
With just 27,789km (~17,267mi.) shown on the odometer, this 512 M features remarkable preservation inside and out, with the only non-original change being an aftermarket Fuchs exhaust system enhancing its naturally aspirated 12-cylinder soundtrack. Behind the cockpit, this car’s highly desirable gated 5-speed manual transaxle sends power to the rear wheels. With reportedly just 501 Ferrari 512 Ms having graced the production line in Maranello, this is a rare opportunity for a well-seasoned or aspiring Ferrarista to acquire one of the last mid-engined, flat-opposed 12-cylinder Ferraris made. A desirable color combination, rare optional carbon fiber bucket seats, and detailed service records boost collector credentials alongside a Seller’s Disclosure, period-correct Ferrari owner’s literature, plus a leather-bound Ferrari toolkit and accessories.
