More pictures from early testing! Note the low and narrow side air intakes, changed soon afterwards to the larger model. Also the strange looking vertical deflectors, awkward.

Don't think so: Enzo hadn't this kind of hair, certainly not the color. And he had a "healthy" belly.

Marc, I always thought the 512S was beautiful with those white air intakes. Any idea why they got rid of those?
Hello, I don't claim to know anything but by definition any aerodynamic experiment tested and not retained has failed to prove useful.Remember also how tentative aerodynamic development was at the time: the "evil Stuttgart piggie" 917 was initially lethal, it is only by chance that they figured out during a test at Zeltweg that it needed rear downforce badly. That transformed it, made it planted, seconds quicker. Even Ferdinand Piech could not believe it. In 2015 at Monza there were two 512's in the Peter Auto race weekend. A 512S which kept porpoising at top speed and 1024 a 512M which was stable as an arrow at top speed: progress. When I drove 1024 months later at Paul Ricard I barely needed to hold the wheel at top speed. Would not have been the case in the S.
Early pictures of a virgin 512 S. I assume these are photos taken when the car was official presented to the press in November 1969 at Gatto Verde, Maranello. Love those pure original lines: no spoilers, no flaps , no deflectors. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Just got across this picture. s/n? Image Unavailable, Please Login Anybody able to explain the 4th pedal? Thanks! Image Unavailable, Please Login Picture of a very tidy and neat 512 S interior, probably an original from the official presentation. Image Unavailable, Please Login
First photo Cord (?) perhaps at Road Atlanta in the future Sunoco car? Trying to place that brow. Possibly Mid Ohio but grass looks awfully thirsty for Ohio... 2nd photo, obviously very recent must be a foot rest...the only other alternative is that it controls something but that is most unlikely and not period correct.
