1990 | Ferrari Testarossa

The numbers in the name come from the enlarged displacement of the V12 over its predecessor. Displacement is up from 5.5 Liter to 5.7 liters in the new car. A reworked inlet and exhaust system, along with the compression ratio rising to 11.0:1 gives the car 508 horsepower, versus the 485 of its predecessor. Although, more important than the horsepower gain, was the gain in torque up to 434 ft lb, as well as the broadening of the torque curve. The Other M in the car's name means Modificata, or "modified" in Italian. To that end, the car's suspension, body work, transmission, brakes, interior, and engine were all modified.

Although the differences between the two cars can be subtle and somewhat hard to spot, almost nothing in the new car was left untouched from its predecessor. The biggest exterior visual change was done to the headlights. The interior was vastly changed in the 575MM; fit and finish of the interior were improved as well. The biggest mechanical change was the introduction of the optional F1 transmission, along with revised gearing, and the transmission itself.

Ferrari deliberately softened the overall character of the 575MM over its predecessor with increased damping and softer springs, incorporating a quieter exhaust. Some initial customers did not like this change in character, so Ferrari quickly introduced the Fiorano handling package as an option. This package increased the spring rate by more than 10%, introduced a sport exhaust, included a larger 21mm anti-roll bar in the rear, and changed the software programming setup in the dampers. Three piece wheels were made available as an additional option when ticking the box for handling package, thus making the car visually distinctive from those without the package
