Launched in 1994 as the final evolution of the vaunted Testarossa, the F512 M, or Modificata, was to be the last Ferrari produced with the company’s legendary horizontally opposed 12-cylinder engine. Every aspect of the model was refined from the previous version, with particular attention paid to the chassis, engine, and cosmetics. Numerous internal engine upgrades, including titanium connecting rods and other lightened components, along with increased compression, helped bump engine output to 440 horsepower—a noticeable boost over the preceding 512 TR.

In total, just 501 F512 M examples were manufactured for worldwide distribution, making it one of the rarest road-going models produced during former Ferrari chief Luca di Montezemolo's reign.

Supplied new to Munich, Germany, this Modificata left Maranello in the firm’s classic hue of Rosso Corsa over black leather trim and equipped with the rarely seen, and über-supportive, carbon fiber seats with perforated red inserts. As documented in the car’s original warranty book, chassis 102585 passed through Brussels, where it received its all-important Ferrari Classiche certification, before coming under the consignor’s curation in 2017. Following its importation to Canada, the car was treated to a comprehensive, engine-out service in 2023 by Ferrari of Alberta in Calgary. Accompanying invoices document the car receiving new timing belts, seals, bearings, and gaskets in addition to a thorough diagnostic of the HVAC, braking, clutch, and suspension systems at a cost of over $19,000.

Now displaying just 10,695 kilometers (~6,646 miles) at cataloguing, this highly desirable, European-delivery example is accompanied by its Ferrari Classiche Certificate of Authenticity with Red Book, service invoices, tools, warranty book, and two pieces of factory F512 M luggage.

Prized for its unique qualities and refined driving experience, the F512 M is rightfully considered the most desirable iteration of not only the modern Testarossa series, but of all Ferrari Boxer 12s. This example, sporting low mileage, Classiche certification, and recent comprehensive sorting, checks every conceivable box for aspiring tifosi looking to enjoy the thrills of flat-12 Ferrari ownership on the open road.
