The Ferrari 512 S Modulo is a concept car designed by coach maker Pininfarina, unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show.
By January 1970, Ferrari had built a series of twenty-five Ferrari 512 S racing cars for homologation purposes, just like Porsche had done in 1969 with the Porsche 917. This meant that dozens of high powered mid-engined race cars were available. Ferrari could not race or sell all of the manufactured cars, and gave chassis number 1046 (that means the 23rd) to Pininfarina.
The Modulo was the last in a series of studies. The concept car has an extremely low body with a Canopy-style roof that slides forward to permit entry to the cabin. All four wheels are partly covered. Another special feature of the design consists of twenty-four holes in the engine cover that reveal the Ferrari V12 engine.
The Modulo is a working car, although the limitations of the bodywork prevent it being practical or road legal.
1989 Ferrari Mythos
The Ferrari Mythos was a mid-engine, rear wheel drive concept car designed by Pininfarina and produced by Ferrari in 1989. The radical design was implemented on the platform of the Ferrari Testarossa, which dictated the car's wedge shape and large air intake ahead of the rear wheels. Although not intended to be sold to members of the public, the current Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, is known to own two, although it is unclear which cars in the Sultan's collections belong to which family members as clear records do not exist. It is capable of 290 km/h (180 mph).
The prototype is stored in Pininfarina style center at Cambiano, Italy.
1996 Ferrari FX
The Ferrari FX is a Ferrari automobile which was custom made for the Sultan of Brunei by Pininfarina. It featured the Flat 12 engine of the Ferrari Testarossa and a 7 speed sequential transmission from the Williams BMW Formula One team. Only seven cars were ever made, six of which were delivered to the Royal Family in Brunei. Dick Marconi managed to acquire vehicle number four from Williams before it shipped to Brunei and it is now on display at the Marconi Museum in Tustin, California.
2005 Ferrari GG50
The Ferrari GG50 is a concept car created by Ferrari to mark the fifty years during which Giorgetto Giugiaro had been designing cars. It was introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.
The Ferrari F1 GG50 has special modifications inspired by Formula 1 (F1), to improve performance. It uses a 65 degree V12 naturally-aspirated petrol engine. The engine develops peak power of 540 horsepower (400 kW), which is 94 horsepower (70 kW) per litre. The compression ratio is 11.2:1. The GG50 uses a sequential mode automatic transmission.
The GG50 is a 2+2 coupé "supercar". Most of the elements of the interior design are from the similar Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, as well as part of the exterior design. Some cues, such as the steering wheel, derive from Ferrari's F1 vehicles of the past. Unique parts of the GG50 are its dashboard and the fact that the GG50 uses the Pioneer AVIC–X1R satellite navigation system.
2005 Ferrari Ascari
The Ferrari Ascari is a Ferrari concept car that won the "Ferrari: New Concepts for the Myth" car design competition in 2005. The car was designed by Manuele Amprimo, Werner Gruber, and Yu Jae-Cheul from Istituto Europeo di Design (IED; English: "European Institute of Design"), Turin, Italy. The judges of the competition included Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, the second and only living son of Enzo Ferrari, Piero Ferrari, Jean Todt, Amedeo Felisa, Massimo Fumarola, Pininfarina, and more than 22,000 users of FerrariWorld's online website. A scale model was made for the competition. As a result of this competition, the Ferrari Ascari, has a larger chance of evolving from concept car to reality.
2006 Ferrari P4/5
The Ferrari P4/5 (officially known as the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina) is a one-off sports car made by Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari but redesigned by Pininfarina for film director and stock exchange magnate James Glickenhaus. The car was an Enzo Ferrari but the owner James Glickenhaus preferred the styling of Ferrari's 1960s race cars, the P Series. The project cost Glickenhaus US$ 4 million and was officially presented to the public in August 2006 at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elégance. Several websites were allowed to publish images of the clay model in July 2006.
2010 Ferrari Millechili
The Ferrari Millechili (Italian for one thousand (mille) kilograms (chili) is the name of a concept car shown at a technical symposium at Ferrari's headquarters in Maranello in 2007. It is also the name of a project by Ferrari to develop and manufacture a lightweight sports car. The development of the Millechili is being done in collaboration with University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Millechili Lab is a cross-project in which students are working on light-weight car design.
A production version of the Millechili concept car was speculated to enter production in 2010. It was believed that the car would be based on the F430's aluminum space frame on a 104.3-inch (2,650 mm) wheelbase and a V10 engine producing about 600 hp (447 kW).
It is currently believed that the Millechili concept car, developed with data gathered from the Ferrari FXX, will be the basis for a new Ferrari supercar called the F70.
