Launched at the 1969 Turin Motor Show, the Ferrari 512S Berlinetta Speciale concept car shocked and confused in equal measure. The shock factor came from its being the first Ferrari to receive the ‘wedge’ treatment that became popular in the late 60s; the confusion stemmed from the ‘512S’ moniker, as there was no 5.0-litre V12 to be found beneath the bodywork. It wasn’t a 3.0-litre V12 either, despite the Speciale's underpinnings being rescued from a damaged 312P (chassis #0868). The engine was in fact a 6.0-litre V12 from a 612 Can-Am racer – although it was an empty bloc.
