Ferrari 712

Ferrari 712 model made by Fabbri with Ref. FRC046 and part of the "Ferrari Racing Collection".

Active year: 1971.
s/n: 1010 - This Ferrari 712 is a former 512S and 512M Spyder that was heavily modified at the factory to receive the biggest engine (6.9L) that Ferrari ever built. Also this unique car was Ferrari's first and only official entry into the Can-Am championship.
1971 Can-Am Watkins Glen #50 Team: Spa Ferrari SEFAC with Mario Andretti finished 4th (2 laps behind the winner) Grid: 5th (1:07.660).
Engine: V12cyl dohc 6860 cc 750 hp at 8000 rpm, 680 kg, 1 built.
In 1972 this car raced again after having a new body work but then was not for Ferrari works team but this time for the N.A.R.T. team, which took over the car after this race at Watkins Glen.
As a finishing note, Enzo Ferrari took this car on the 2nd of May 1971 to an Interserie race at Imola (Coppa di Shell) to assess the performance of the car with Arturio Merzario where he finished 1st OA. This provided the hope he needed for glory in the Can-Am championship however they were soon crushed by the dominance of McLaren in the USA races.
