After four years, the fourth model of the Ferrari 512S Berlinetta finally appears: the only opponent in the
Unfortunately, there is not much to write about the design. It is red. Like almost every one of the 25 512s produced.
The Ferrari is the version that was delivered to the Swiss racing team Scuderia Filippinetti in 1970. The racing team was founded in the 1960s by the then Swiss Ferrari general importer Georges Filippinetti. The team was very well known in the sixties for its successes. According to Wikipedia, it was the first racing team to be financed purely through sponsorship. Its best-known drivers were Jo Siffert, Phil Hill and Jim Clark.
After the death of its founder in 1973, the racing team was closed.
This car with starting number 3 was entered in the 1970 Brands Hatch 1000 km race, driven by Herbert Müller from Switzerland and Mike Parkes from England, who finished 13th with this car.
At 200 grams, the weight of the Ferrari is exactly on a par with its Porsche 917K rival. Although the tires are profiled, they have sufficient grip. The wide rear and the flat silhouette guarantee fast and safe driving, the car is only thrown out of the slot willy-nilly. The gearbox runs very smoothly and responds directly to the push of a button. For those who like to tinker: There is plenty of room for tuning in the chassis. There is nothing to criticize about the paintwork, the printing is clean and without errors.
