The Ferrari 412 S, produced in 1958, was a unique and powerful sports racing car, known for its exceptional V12 engine paired with an experimental racing chassis. It was custom-built for John von Neumann to compete against prominent American race cars in the SCCA racing series. The 412 S, sometimes mistakenly called the 412 MI, was a formidable challenger on the racing circuit, driven by notable racers such as Phil Hill and Richie Ginther​​.
