This Ferrari 512 BB/LM 'Silhouette' factory built racer is serial number 35527. It was used by the North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) and was given many upgrades by Motion Products, such as the engine which features titanium rods, an aluminum flywheel, forged 11.5-1 racing pistons, racing grade piston rings, titanium retainers, high lift camshafts, and ported cylinder heads. It has been rated at around 526 horsepower with maximum torque achieved at just under 400 lb/ft.

This car has a double LeMans race history and is the 19th of the 25 constructed.

In 1981 it was entered in the LeMans 24 Hours but failed to finish. It returned the following year wearing number 72 (the prior year had been 49), and finished in an impressive 9th overall.

In 1999 the engine modifications were made. The original engine is still in-tact. In 2000 it was brought to the Cavallino Ferrari Classic IX in Palm Beach Florida. It was raced in the Ferrari Historic Races in 2000 through 2002.
