Description

When the 512 S hit the track in 1970, it scooped up the first win of the season at Sebring. From there on, despite the thunderous torque of its 5-liter V12 and its sumptuous lines, it was relegated to finishing positions behind the Porsche 917. Rule changes and reducing engine capacity to three liters gave birth to the 312PB and a return to racing glory for the Scuderia. Given its elegant beauty and limited production, the 512 will live forever in the memories of the Tifosi. One drive will show you why.
