The 512 TR is the updated 1991 version of the Testarossa. Extensive revisions were made to the engine: larger intake valves, Nikasil cylinder liners, revised intake runners, Bosch engine management, and an updated exhaust system. Output climbed to 315 kW, with the twelve-cylinder delivering its power across a broader rev band. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes 4.8 seconds, and top speed reaches 313.8 km/h. Visually, it is distinguished by a trapezoidal grille that echoes the styling of the 348 tb. A total of 2261 units were built through 1994.

Chassis, brakes, and wheels
A quicker steering rack, lower-profile tires, and revised shock absorber tuning sharpened the handling. The front brake discs were larger and cross-drilled. The 18-inch wheels measure 8 inches wide up front and 10.5 inches in the rear, wearing 235/40 ZR 18 and 295/35 ZR 18 tires. The brake discs measure 315 mm in front and 310 mm out back.
Body and interior
Pietro Camardella at Pininfarina refreshed the bodywork so that the revised spoilers and new engine cover blended together harmoniously; the styling aligned with the recently introduced 348. At the rear, the raised cowl on the engine cover is flatter and features an additional cooling slot, the perforated metal strips on the fins were eliminated, and the rear valance encloses the exhaust tips. Inside, the center console was separated from the dashboard and the climate controls were repositioned.
