ABS

The early 512 TRs didn't have ABS, but it was introduced in October 1993 (near s/n 96400). This also resulted in a ABS button at the left side of the steering wheel and a ABS light on the dashboard.

"testarossa" logo on the engine lid

Early versions have the logo "testarossa" on the engine lid, but on later versions this logo didn't appear. The change was done between s/n 94500 and 95000.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Each car made after 1980 has a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), an unique number to identify the car. On 512 TRs, the VIN can be found on a small plate on the steering column and at the chassis in the engine room. On US versions, the VIN can also be found on a plate on the door. The VINs of 512 TRs look like this: 

ZFFLA40B0000xxxxx ZFFLA40C0000xxxxx ZFFLA40D0000xxxxx ZFFLA40JAP00xxxxx ZFFLA40JPN00xxxxx ZFFLA40S0000xxxxx ZFFLG40Axx00xxxxx ZFFLM40Axx00xxxxx

Euro version GB version (RHD) Australian version (RHD) Japanese version Japanese version (512 TR Speciale) Swiss version US version Canadian version

A detailed overview of the meaning of all digits of the VIN can be found on the VIN page.

At all European, Swiss, Australian, Japanese and GB versions, the serialnumber is also printed on all the windows. The five-digit serialnumber is followed by three letters, which have no meaning.

All 512 TRs will also have an assembly number, which can be found on a small plate at the right side of the engine compartment.
