The Ferrari 512S Modulo is an extremely low, wedge-shaped concept car designed by Paolo Martin for Pininfarina, unveiled in 1970. Built on a surplus Ferrari 512S race chassis, its radical body features a sliding canopy for entry and spherical controls inside. Originally a non-functional show car, this award-winning, futuristic design was meant purely as a static study. In 2014, collector Jim Glickenhaus bought the Modulo, restoring it to a fully roadworthy vehicle and finally bringing the iconic design to life on public roads.
