This was good enough for zero to sixty in sixty 4.7 seconds and top speed of 195mph. By the time production ceased in 1996, only 500 examples were completed, which made the 512 M especially coveted among Testarossa enthusiasts and Ferrari collectors.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/car-of-the-day-1996-ferrari-512-m-2\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/car-of-the-day-1996-ferrari-512-m-2\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/car-of-the-day-1996-ferrari-512-m-2\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1996-Ferrari-512-M1430128_-scaled-2.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1996-Ferrari-512-M1430128_-scaled-2.jpg","width":2560,"height":1708},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/car-of-the-day-1996-ferrari-512-m-2\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Car Of The Day: 1996 Ferrari 512 M"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/","name":"Supercars.net","description":"Exotic and Supercar news, information, pictures and videos","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/f7911fdaa196826d11b170379d110f1d","name":"Nick Dellis","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1963-Ferrari-250-GTO-front-view-02-660x440-293x293.jpg","url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1963-Ferrari-250-GTO-front-view-02-660x440-293x293.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1963-Ferrari-250-GTO-front-view-02-660x440-293x293.jpg","caption":"Nick Dellis"},"description":"Meet Nick, the Porsche and Ferrari obsessed car nut whose morning routine includes a daily ritual of polishing his prized Porsche with a chamois cloth.
