The Saratoga Motorcar Auction is set to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike with the sale of two rare Ferrari 512s. Among the highlights is an exceptionally rare Ferrari 512 TR Zegna Edition, one of only 27 ever produced. This exclusive model, designed in collaboration with the renowned Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna, boasts unique interior finishes and a timeless appeal that makes it a true collector’s dream.
Adding to the excitement is a meticulously maintained Ferrari 512 BB, another gem from Ferrari’s illustrious lineup. With both vehicles crossing the auction block bidders have a unique opportunity to acquire two of the most coveted Ferraris ever built, each representing the pinnacle of Italian automotive excellence.
1982 Ferrari 512 BBi Zegna Edition
The 1982 Ferrari 512 BBi Zegna Edition is an incredibly rare and desirable collector's item, being one of just 27 examples ever produced. This unique model was crafted in collaboration with the renowned Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna, featuring exclusive Zegna wool cloth seats, headliner, and door panels. The car retains its original 4.9L flat-12 engine, delivering 340 horsepower, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Sporting its original red exterior and a freshly restored tan leather interior, this BBi Zegna Edition is a testament to Ferrari’s commitment to luxury and performance. First sold in Switzerland, it stands out with its European specification, free from U.S. emissions constraints. This pristine example not only offers a piece of automotive history but also represents a significant investment in one of Ferrari's early mid-engine 12-cylinder street cars. See it here.
1994 Ferrari 512 TR
The 1994 Ferrari 512 TR, famously known for its role in the iconic TV show "Miami Vice," remains a symbol of 1980s automotive excess with its distinctive fluted side air intakes. This particular 512 TR boasts a 4.9L flat-12 engine producing 428 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It is finished in its original red exterior with a classic black leather interior.
This example, having originally been delivered to Germany before moving to Japan, has recently undergone a thorough refurbishment by AR CARS s.f.o. in 2021. The refresh included engine overhaul, suspension updates, and brake system improvements, all supported by comprehensive documentation and photographs. Additionally, it comes with a complete set of Schedoni luggage, valued between $15,000 and $20,000. As Ferrari enthusiasts look towards the future, late 20th-century models like the 512 TR are increasingly seen as solid investments. See it here.
