  When in mid-1967 the CSI decided to ban the over-3-litre prototypes from the circuits, this decision put an end to the exciting fight between Ford and Ferrari. Furious for this decision that made the fantastic Ferrari 330 P4 obsolete, Enzo Ferrari refused to produce and enter a new car at the 1968 Manufacturer's World Championship. However, towards the end of the year, the “Commendatore” changed his mind and launched the Ferrari 312P in view of the 1969 season. Eventually only 3 copies of it were built with numbers 0868, 0870 and 0872, and only 0872 was in coupé version, the other two were open spyder type. The Ferrari 312P was in fact a 3-litre F1 car transformed into a two-seater with covered wheels. Indeed, for the engine, Ferrari made use the 312 de-tuned engine of Formula 1. The engine was a V12 at 60 ° with four valve cylinder heads, mounted on a semi-monocoque with tubular frame and aluminum alloy and fibreglass panels bonded in place. The displacement remained 2989cc as well as the Lucas injection system and the Dinoplex Magneti Marelli ignition remained unchanged. The suspensions were largely derived from the 312 F1 car, but with the outboard front springs thanks to the wide bodywork. Chassis 0872 was the third and final 312P built. He was entered at Le Mans in 1969 with Chris Amon and Peter Schetty, who qualified fifth in practice. The race lasted very little because before the end of the first lap, Amon was involved in the accident in which John Wolfe lost life on board a Porsche 917. Amon's Ferrari was invested by the Porsche 917 burned tank and was so badly damaged by have to withdraw. At the end of the season, the 312 P chassis 0872 was sold to N.A.R.T. (North America Racing Team), the Luigi Chinetti's racing team, who used it to race at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans. In 1971 it was transformed into spyder, always for the NART colours and in 1974 it was disassembled and some parts were used for the prototype that ran to Le Mans with Andruet and Zeccoli. In the 1980s, all original parts were reunited and reassembled. Recently, a Swiss enthusiast bought the car and rebuilt it completely and brought it back to the original coupé configuration.

 Quando la metà del 1967 la CSI decise di vietare i prototipi con cilindrata superiore a 3 litri dai circuiti, con questa decisione pose fine all’emozionante lotta tra Ford e Ferrari. Furibondo per questa decisione che rese obsoleta la fantastica Ferrari 330 P4, Enzo Ferrari rifiutò di produrre e iscrivere una nuova vettura al Campionato del Mondo Marche del 1968. Tuttavia, verso la fine del  1968 il Commendatore cambiò idea e lanciò la fabbricazione della Ferrari 312P  in vista della stagione del 1969. Solo 3 vetture 312P furono costruite con i numeri 0868, 0870 e 0872, e solo la 0872 era in versione coupé, le altre due erano tipo barchetta aperta. La Ferrari 312P era in pratica una F1 trasformata in una biposto con ruote coperte. Infatti, per il motore, Ferrari utilizzò quello montato sulle 312 di formula 1 depotenziato. Il motore era un V12 a 60 ° con testate a 4 valvole per cilindro, montato con funzione portante su una semi-monoscocca con telaio tubolare e pannelli in lega di alluminio e fibra di vetro rivettati e incollati. La cilindrata rimase  2989cc così come restarono invariate  il sistema di iniezione Lucas e l'accensione Dinoplex  Magneti Marelli. Le sospensioni derivavano direttamente dalla vettura 312 di F1, ma con le molle anteriori fuoribordo grazie alla carrozzeria a tutta larghezza. Il telaio 0872 è stata la terza e ultima 312P costruita. Fu iscritta alla  ore di Le Mans nel 1969 con Chris Amon e Peter Schetty che in prova si qualificarono al quinto posto. La gara durò molto poco perché prima della fine del primo giro, Amon fu coinvolto nell’incidente nel quale perse la vita John Wolfe a bordo di una Porsche 917. La Ferrari di Amon fu investita dal serbatoio incendiato della Porsche 917 e risultò talmente danneggiata da doversi ritirare. Alla fine della stagione la 312 P chassis 0872  fu venduta alla N.A.R.T. (North America Racing Team), la scuderia automobilistica di Luigi Chinetti, che la utilizzò per correre a Daytona, Sebring e Le Mans. Nel 1971 fu trasformata in spyder, sempre per i colori della scuderia NART e nel 1974, fu disassemblata e alcune parti furono utilizzate per il prototipo che corse a Le Mans con Andruet e Zeccoli. Negli anni 80, tutte le parti vennero riunite ed assemblate. Recentemente un appassionato svizzero ha acquistato l'auto ricostruendola completamente e riportandola alla configurazione originale di coupè.

Nice book, full of very useful information for those who want to deepen their knowledge on the technical and historical aspects related to this type of cars. The themes of aerodynamics and its development over the years until the advent of the ground effect, the construction techniques of the frames, including those in composite materials, suspensions, brakes and transmissions, are explained in great detail. The part relating to the engines is also very interesting. The text is written in English, is very fluent and is accompanied by several photographs, all in black and white. It is definitely recommended for all fans, especially those of historic cars.

Bel libro, ricco di informazioni molto utili per che vuole approfondire la conoscenza sugli aspetti tecnici e storici legati a questo tipo di vetture. I temi dell’aerodinamica e il suo sviluppo negli anni fino all’avvento dell’effetto suolo, le tecniche di costruzione dei telai, compresi quelli in materiali compositi, di sospensioni, freni e trasmissioni, sono spiegati in modo molto dettagliato. Molto interessante anche la parte relativa ai propulsori. Il testo è scritto in inglese, è molto scorrevole ed è corredato da parecchie fotografie, tutte in bianco e nero. E’ un libro sicuramente consigliato a tutti gli appassionati, in particolare di auto storiche.
