Only one ever made
James Glickenhaus has recently purchased the Ferrari 512S
Modulo concept developed by Pininfarina.
Many consider the 1980 four-door Ferrari Pinin concept as being the most special car to
wear the prancing horse logo but in reality it's probably a concept that came
out a decade before. It was 1970 when the 512S Modulo was unveiled at the
Geneva Motor Show, a 512S chassis and drivetrain wrapped around in a
wedge-shaped body created by Pininfarina.
The one-off concept has now joined an already impressive
collection owned by James Glickenhaus who also has numerous other precious
automobiles, with the most popular ones being the P4/5 and P4/5 Competizione. He managed to convince
Pininfarina to sell the Modulo concept at a yet undisclosed price tag and just
like he did with the Dino Competizione, the 512S Modulo concept will actually
go through some modifications in Europe to become roadworthy as Jim is known to
drive all of his cars.
The 900 kg concept is 4480mm long, 2040mm wide and 935mm
tall while the wheelbase stands at 2405mm. Power comes from a V12 5.0-liter
engine generating 550 bhp (410 kW) working together with a five-speed manual
gearbox. Only one was ever made so sky's the limit in terms of the price paid
by James Glickenhaus.
