1970 Ferrari 512 S Modulo Concept
The Ferrari Modulo was designed by Paolo Martin at Pininfarina and unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. This mid-engined design was based on Ferrari's 512 S racing chassis, and the ultra-low body was made of two overlapping 'clam shells' separated by a band formed around its waistline. The unique side windows are repeated below on the doors like a shadow and the engine cover is made in black Perspex with 24 holes through which to admire the beauty of the rear mounted 5-liter V12 engine. At its Geneva debut the Modulo won 22 international design awards, and later that year the prototype was selected as the best of Italian coachbuilding at the 1970 Osaka Exposition. This fascinating prototype is widely regarded as typifying the trend of 'wedge-shaped' designs inspired by the 1970s modernist movement.
The mechanicals of this concept were those of the Ferrari 512 S. It had a mid-rear V12 60-degree engine, displacing 4,004 cubic-centimeters and delivering 550 hp at 8,500 rpm. It also had a five-speed gearbox and rear wheel drive.
The Modulo has a wheelbase of 2,405 mm a length of 4,480 mm, a width of 2,040 mm, and a height of 36 inches.
