Timeline

The Ferrari 512S Modulo, a concept sports car designed by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina, was unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. Originally a Ferrari 512S, it was converted to 612 Can Am specifications before being transformed into the Modulo. The car features a distinctive, extremely low, wedge-shaped body with a canopy-style glass roof that slides forward for cabin entry. It also includes a V12 engine with 550 hp, enabling top speeds of around 220 mph and acceleration from 0–60 mph in approximately 3.0 seconds. The Modulo won 22 awards for its innovative design and was later sold in 2014 to James Glickenhaus, who is restoring it to full operating condition​​​​​​.
