1970 Ferrari 512 S Modulo Concept

The Modulo, built on the exceptional Ferrari 512/S Chassis, was the result of a study made by Pininfarina seeking a new design for automobiles.

Introduced at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, this concept car was inspired by what was at the time the most up-to-date layouts of racing cars and sports cars. The result was a car with striking clean lines. It also featured unique relationships between space and objects.

The Modulo was not intended to be a racing prototype but was instead intended to help us all break away from present styles and peer into the future.

It earned 22 international design awards for its pure formal research and its intentional geometry.

The mechanicals of this concept were those of the Ferrari 512 S. It had a mid-rear V12 60-degree engine, displacing 4,004 cubic centimeters and delivering 550 hp at 8,500 RPM. It also had a five-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive.

The Modulo has a wheelbase of 2,405 mm a length of 4,480 mm, a width of 2,040 mm, and a height of 36 inches.
