Ferrari 412
Production 1985–1989, 270 (GT) and 306 (A) produced, Engine 4943 cc V12, Transmission 5-speed manual, 3-speed automatic Dimensions: Wheelbase 2.700 mm (106,3 inches) Length 4.810 mm (189 inches) Width 1.798 mm (70,8 inches) Height 1.314 mm (51,7 inches) Curb weight 1.805–1.810 kg (3.979–3.990 lb) In 1985, further improvements were made to the series, with the launch of the Ferrari 412 in April of that year. The engine was bored out by 1 mm, increasing the displacement to 4.943 cc (4,9 L) — hence the name change to 412, which stands for the displacement of a single cylinder in cubic centimeters. Both the manual and automatic transmissions were retained, but the exterior badges no longer indicated the type of transmission fitted. Bosch ABS was offered, a first for Ferrari. The bodywork was modified, featuring a raised rear deck that offered more luggage space. Pininfarina made many subtle adjustments to modernize the exterior.

Further improvements were made to the range in 1985, with the launch of the Ferrari 412 in April of that year. The engine was bored out by 1 mm, increasing capacity to 4.943 cc (4,9 L) — hence the name change to 412, denoting the displacement of a single cylinder in cubic centimetres. Both manual and automatic transmissions were retained, but the exterior badging no longer indicated the type of transmission fitted. Bosch ABS was available, a first for Ferrari. The bodywork was changed, with a raised rear deck providing more luggage space. Pininfarina made many subtle changes to modernise the exterior. The bumpers were body-coloured; at the front there was a deeper spoiler, while at the rear a black lambrequin was incorporated into the fog lamps and exhaust pipes. The side window trims were changed from chrome to black. The flat-rimmed wheels were new, and fitted with TRX tyres.
A total of 576 units were made. Production ended in 1989 without an immediate successor being launched; the mid-engined Mondial remained the only Ferrari with 2+2 seating. In 1992, after a three-year hiatus, the classic front-engined V12 2+2 grand tourer returned with the 456.
This 412 presented here is a car delivered by Franchorchamps, Belgium, and finished in dark blue metallic. Invoices from 0 – 85000 km are included! The engine was overhauled at 92.000 km at Ferrari Antwerp. At 128.000 km, the car was transported to France and re-imported into the Netherlands in 2015. The bodywork is very sleek and the panel gaps are all parallel. The interior is finished in dark blue leather and the dashboard with all the gauges still looks like new. Under the hood, you will see a very dry engine. The manual gearbox is a plus in this car, as it allows it to retain full power. The engine runs beautifully smoothly, and this Ferrari drives just as smoothly. Furthermore, it features 5-spoke wheels fitted with Michelin TRX tires. An extensive file regarding maintenance and history is included. A serious Ferrari for the enthusiast.
