James Glickenhaus, head of the boutique car maker Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG), has completed the restoration of the Ferrari 512S Modulo Concept issued as far back as 1970.
The vehicle exists in a single copy. As a pure design study, it is mainly meant for various automotive shows and not for actual use. To that end, it doesn’t even have a steering wheel – or, at least, didn’t until SCG installed one a few days ago.
The Ferrari Modulo was the first project carried out by automotive designer Paolo Martin, who worked in the Pininfarina atelier in the 1970s. It utilizes the Ferrari 512 racecar chassis and has a pointy V-like shape.
Its exterior appearance is rather peculiar, featuring closed wheel arches, a heavily perforated hood, spherical elements here and there, and a slide-out roof.
The hood opens to reveal a 5.0-liter V12 engine with 560 hp (418 kW). Driven by this monster of an engine, the car has no trouble accelerating to 100 km/h (60 mph) in three seconds.
James Glickenhaus has already tried out the sporty vehicle in action. You may find the video on his Twitter page.
