Ferrari 512S MODULO (Pininfarina - 1970) s/n 0864
To this day, the 1970 Ferrari 512 S Modulo never fails to turn heads. It's a rarer sight than spotting a unicorn or Bigfoot, but the luscious wedge-shaped supercar exists solely to inspire. Ferrari never meant to put the 512 S Modulo into production, but it was a precursor to the wedge-shaped Ferraris of the 1970s and early 80s. As such, the 512 S Modulo you're seeing here is the only unit in existence today.
It originally debuted at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show and was Pininfarina's weapon of choice against Bertone's Lancia Stratos Zero – yes, we're talking about the concept that inspired the production Stratos rally car – for the imaginary title of the best wedge-shaped car. Apparently, the Ferrari 512 S Modulo walked away with 22 international design awards, so there's no doubt which car was the 'king of wedges' back then.
The Ferrari 512 S Modulo was designed by Paolo Martin. It had an extremely low-riding wedge body with partly covered wheels. The 512 S Modulo has no conventional doors. Instead, it has a canopy-style glass roof – like in a fighter jet – which slides elegantly forward to permit ingress and egress. It was the Jetsons in real life, and it's nothing short of fantastic.
Underneath the arrow-sleek wedge design is a Ferrari 512 S Group 5 racing car. Ferrari only made 25 examples of the 512 S for the Scuderia racing team. And as it turns out, Ferrari had a spare chassis and gave it to Pininfarina to create a one-of-a-kind show car. The vehicle, based on chassis #27, rolled out of the Pininfarina design studio as the Ferrari 512 S Modulo.
