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. (worldcarfans)
