Ferrari 512TR Testarossa 8,000 RPM on Dyno!!

[algorithmae]

That shifting was REALLY rough.

[McLarenMercedes]

Walter Koenig the German tuner of Ferraris always said that the Ferrari flat 12 had serious potential, and therefore it is hardly suprising he made his insane 1000hp "Koenig Competition" based on it in the late 80's.

The sound alone is reward enough.

512Ms rev to 8k not 512TRs

[512BBi]

@gomythos - This TR has had it's ECU "chipped," so there is NO redline.

[ekbusdriver]

@512BBi Interesting, since it never went anywhere near 8k.

[512BBi]

@ekbusdriver - yes it did. Look at the 37 second mark of the video at the tach needle. The speedo is totally maxed out and the tach is at 8K. You can't see the tip of the tach needle because of the steering wheel, but the tail end of it is at 1,000 so that means the tip is at 8,000.

[ekbusdriver]

@512BBi Well, IMHO, it never completely lined up. No matter, it was closer than I initially thought, and it is a SWEET-ass clip. Just wish you had some numbers after the pull!!!!

[512BBi]

@ekbusdriver - actually, I believe it probably hit 8,100 or 8,200. If you look closely at the tail end of the needle at the frames at 36 and 37 seconds, you will see it is higher than the 1,000 mark.

[400SA]

I believe the fuel cutout for the 512TR is more like 7250 rpm (about what it hit here), althogh I'm sure the engine could take 8000.

[512BBi]

@400SA - My friend had his Ferrari performance "chipped" so the rev limiter no long functions. He can rev it as high as he wants to within reason.

[corvettels9]

I think that's the first time I've ever seen a car's speedometer climb faster than the tach

[SuperBadass1982]

i love this car, my desire

[TreAldMatVideo]

It Damage YOUR ENGINE Not RECOMENDED

[512BBi]

@TreAldMatVideo - What are you talking about??

[Aztech355]

@512BBi

Sounds good man

[Jaiv74]

The sound inside that room shuold have being awesome...

[pizzapingvin]

So where are the results ?

[512BBi]

@pizzapingvin - I believe the HP was around 360 at the tires.

[pizzapingvin]

@512BBi thanks for the info!

[beanieostrich]

It hit 203 actually, I saw carefully. Just a little heads up. That car has the potential to be quick, its just too heavy to be quick.

[Kingsoupturbo]

Totally awesome!

[wizzledumb]

WHY SO MUCH HATE? People on Youtube should BUY their own car before telling other people how to drive theirs.

[doodydude234]

This is so fake. This car cannot go 200mph. You are dumbasses for believing in this fake video.

[512BBi]

@doodydude234 - you're the dumb ass... Can't you READ? The description states that the car was on a DYNO at 8,000 RPM and hit 205 on the speedo. 

[richerthanyou13]

@doodydude234 i would like to see you get in that car and do the same damn thing but run into the wall if u dont believe it!

[arpusiiikm]

you shouldnt let the car free rev in neutral while going that fast, its bad for the car shoulda just let off the throttle

[512BBi]

@arpusiiikm - Really? Please tell us what is BAD with putting it in neutral. What does it hurt?

[v67oldstyle]

@512BBi ... on a dyno

[bfk90]

@512BBi its feelings? its like teasing it 'faster faster aha no...youre in neutral...'...

[damarwak]

@arpusiiikm acutally mate it wont hark it as when he puts it in neutrul the car is fre rolling so there for he might as well be stopeed and doing the same thing reving in nutural wont harm it trust me

[madbicyclist]

Beautiful sound. Even better than Porsche's air cooled horizontally opposed six cylinder because the horizontally opposed twelve is like two Porsche motors joined at the crankshaft and made in Italy.

[TheDregstar]

it can doo 200+ there but when on the road with air resistance and tire resistance it will be doing abour 190mph

[moondog637]

Got nowhere near 8k judging by the video.

That car was well known as being a piece of shit anyway.

[512BBi]

@moondog637 - I was sitting in the passenger seat recording the video, so I know that Steve took to 8K, and a bit more.... You can tell by the sound too.

[redtesta]

@moondog637 >>>> car was well known for being a piece of shit? This particular car or the TR in general? If you're saying the TR in general you're full of shit. Sure, it was a costly car to maintain for its 30k service and clutch but give me an example of it being a piece of shit. if you're saying this particular car is then that is another story. I have never had any issues with my TR's when they are maintained properly.

[SeeProfileForDetails]

@moondog637 what was the criticism of this car? who wrote it was a piece of shit? From what I have heard the shifting in ferraris is bad - people brag about how difficult it is to shift, as if it is some kind of bonus to have a poorly designed transmission that you paid top dollar for.

[GaiaOnline777]

@SeeProfileForDetails It is not poorly designed. The Clutch and Gearbox are heavy because they are designed that way. You aren't driving a Fiat Punto your driving a Ferrari.

[SeeProfileForDetails]

@GaiaOnline777 So they design formula one cars to shift slowly so that when the driver is going around a turn on Monaco he crashes into a wall instead of focusing on driving? makes sense to me.

[GaiaOnline777]

@SeeProfileForDetails Simply because people don't have the arm strength to pull the shifter through the better made gears doesn't mean it's crap. You also realize F1 cars are not true manual and just paddle shifters. Simply because Ferrari has formula 1 heritage doesn't mean the cars are exactly like them.

[SeeProfileForDetails]

@GaiaOnline777 Formula one cars in the 80's had shifters that you had to put your hand down on, sequential. New formula one cars shift automatically so the driver can focus on what he is doing. A 5 speed or 6 speed style transmission that shifts easy, is a benefit, not a loss. For some idiotic fucktarded reason, ferrari owners and fans like you think it's a benefit and an advantage to have a car that shifts difficult, so that when you are going around a corner, you crash into a wall. GoodForYou

[GaiaOnline777]

@SeeProfileForDetails Wait, why would shifting have anything to do with crashing into walls. The Brakes are for slowing down into a corner you down shift on exit. It may be heavy but it's a damn good gear box.

[SeeProfileForDetails]

@GaiaOnline777 When driving fast you shift before turning and every millisecond counts. Obviously under a high pressure situation, fucking around with the stiff stickshift might get you killed. Now I'm not saying it makes the car useless, I"m saying you pay all this money for a car and what do you get? a shifter that's worse than a honda civic shifter. Your anecdotal "it's a damn good gear box" doesn't help. Prove why it is a good gear box, not just saying it because the car is red and pretty.

[ganon133]

EXTREME!!!!!!

[Schlipperschlopper]

My Golf VR6 can do the same :)

[Jamirofan89]

@Schlipperschlopper my bathtub with V8 engine can do 400 mph :)

[ltube12345]

@Jamirofan89 loll

[Scourge151]

I hope you treated the engine to a nice oil change after that!

Love the sound of that engine howling.

[carcajouxx]

dyno run...

[512BBi]

Yep, just like it says in the description.

[redbarronxxi]

@512BBi But not in the deceptive title.

[majkiboy86]

dude....this is a dyno run...i love the testarossa....but thi sis a dyno run....

[69chevelle9]

redline! redline!
