1988 Ferrari 412: The Atypical Tipo F101

Please Turn On Closed Captions To Enjoy This Film In English.
The Ferrari 412 might not carry the same cachet as the marque’s truly definitive road cars, but the three-box design of Maranello’s stately GT was made with the same ingredients as its more iconic kin, and the result is aging better than anyone would have guessed had you asked them even five years ago. Styling by Pininfarina, thrust by V12, it was a marked departure from Ferrari and their trusted design partner’s curvaceous work in the 1960s, but the 412 stayed true to the Ferrari ideals of fast-paced grand touring spiked with a dose of Italian verve. Only 576 examples of the car were ever built-the last of a lineage that began in 1972 with the 365 GT4 2+2-and finally, more than thirty years later, the boxy but sleek design is being regarded for what it is instead of what it’s not.

Always loved how this criminally underrated car looks.

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

Criminally underrated for good reason.....

[@psychoprosthetic]

I totally agree that this is the pinaccle of Pininfarina design. Every line is perfect and without hubris. Line and proportion in complete balance.

[@trulyoffensive446]

This car is, to me, one of the most beautiful Ferraris. Most of their cars are too flashy for my taste, almost vulgar, but this one is subtle and has these gorgeous classic lines.

[@EVILAKUMA]

Can't forget the 288GTO

[@Ekphrasys]

Truly Offensive Vulgar? Nope, except maybe race Ferraris, GTs weren't ever vulgar..... From 1950 Barchetta to GT4CLusso

[@Sweedster]

This has got to be the ugliest Ferrari I’ve ever seen🤨

[@brbenefield]

My eyes were watering throughout this one! I've always had a thing for the 412 and this story was terrifically told. Another gem by Petrolicious.

[@MrDieselakias]

me too

[@oliverroggenbuck7824]

This is one very beautiful Ferrari for the gentleman, who wants to enjoy his car without drawing everybody´s attention on both him and the car. Timeless, elegant Pininfarina design. Maybe comparable to a Mercedes 560 SEC or a BMW M635CSi. But the Ferrari has the adorable classic V12. For me, this is one of the most desirable Ferrari.

[@johnnyboy1586]

Yes and it's a car that keep growing on me😊

[@303cerebral]

It is always annoying when people say expensive and limited cars are accessible to everyone. It just isn't true.

[@SPProduction02]

they're missing a bit... "accessible to everyone with our amount of money" LOL

[@martijnlangeveld817]

Youre so very right...they dont understnad what they are saying...

[@Didi78180x]

A few years ago a 308 or a 412 was accessible to many people.

[@265308]

@303cerebral: I remember a time when a Lamborghini Muira and Ferrari Testarossa were available for under 30k so ur wrong mate it all about money n timing. Just like ages ago U could buy old skool Muscle cars for 500 bucks before prices shot up.

[@303cerebral]

​@@265308 This is what I mean. People thinking that 30k is a small amount of money. In car terms for what you are getting it is, an engine rebuild on one of those costs more, but it still excludes over 90% of the population from being able to afford it. Now a muscle car for 500, yes they were accesible to pretty much anyone who could afford a car. 30k is 60 times that, totally different situation.

[@christopherbellisario9195]

Beautiful car. I’ve always loved the design of the 412

[@erichakanson7010]

I know amongst Ferrari enthusiasts the 412 (and the Mondial) are sometimes considered to be the "lesser Ferraris." But the same thing was once said about the Dino, and look where they are now! While they may not get as much respect as other cars in the marque, let us not forget that its still a Ferrari and not only that, it is a V-12 Ferrari with a manual gearbox and that's pretty special! Some may sneer at them now, but one day these just might go the way of the Dino. Needless to say, fantastic video as always. Thanks Petrolicious for always being the only good thing about Tuesdays!

[@shannons1886]

Eric Hakanson I will admit to being a hater of these cars when I was younger and in live with cars like the 512TR. Now, they actually seem much more attractive.

[@erichakanson7010]

Shannon Sofield I have to say I'm the same way. Just the other day a friend of mine and I were discussing how much we've grown to like the Mondial coupe (the convertible or "spyder" is still not as attractive to me.) I think the 412i will age gracefully just as the Dino's have done. Again, I'm sure you know this already, but there was a time in the 80's and 90's where Dino's weren't even accepted as "real" Ferrari's and often weren't accepted into Ferrari specific events. I think now is a great time to buy a 412i. Prices are relatively reasonable and certainly will only increase over time and as I said its a somewhat inexpensive way to get into a classic, manual shift Ferrari V-12!

[@bernardcolinet4186]

La grande classe à l'italienne... Ligne splendide, discrète malgré tout, finition très élégante, le tout accompagné d'un majestueux V12 aussi agréable à regarder qu'à entendre

[@sethguest781]

As a Ferrari enthusiast I've found myself having a debate about this one, while it's not my favorite Ferrari roadster it is different and I'd have to give props to the builders and designers for at least putting in good effort to recapture the grandiose styling of the luxurious coupes of the '60s. So this car gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 from me.

[@darrelltuttle8298]

The Ferrari 412 is a remarkable car, the only problem is, it was built ahead of its time. I've been wanting one since its release years ago. However, their is a company called Ares Designs and they recreate the Ferrari 412a and it is simply GORGEOUS. Something that most people will never see. My sights are now set on owning a 412a built by them.

I totally love the 400/412 line up, but with such low production line I am terribly concern of sourcing parts- If I ever get into a Ferrari it will have to be a 456M.

[@DreamsLoopsTruths]

Mike Ross thanks for the detail comments, for me it will have to be a modern 456 -need the back seats. Your comments echo what my research shows, a 328/308 are as close to a daily driver classic Ferrari as one can get. One of these days the Ferrari on my wall as a child will be parked outside :)

[@tvjye]

@@DreamsLoopsTruths Just letting you know that if you don't like low production numbers as you stated above, a 456M may not be acceptable to you. 688 produced in Manual and 650 in automatic. But you do have good taste.

Dare to Dream I think people dont understand how to acquire a classic. They think you HAVE to be wealthy. So I will help. You need desire...and I dont mean I want one of those. You need to have an emotional attachment of desire...read about the car you truly desire! Read about it research it know about the car you want. Know what came vefore it what model c as me after it ...become a self acclaimed expert. None of this is any WORK at all it should be pure live and desire that propels you along. Join every club for that model car you desire...yes I know you dont even have the car . Join the clubs for the car model you want. Talk and get to know everybidy you can in the clubs so every one knows your live of that model car you truly love with passion. When you get to this point youve seen a number of them in person youve gotten rides in one you talk to owners about them. In a car Club there are many members that have more rhan one car of that model. Parts cars a more tired second car...or enough parts to build a car....... They know where other cars are.... They may have to make space, or down size the cars they have...the wife wants room not a nother car project...o r the collector just may love your passion and sell you one fir an honest peice jyst to keep a car freindship going. They want to see the car go to someone that LOVES the car as much as he does. The Car will find you!!! Do not think , the details. Do not say Ill never afford one Do tell anybody that listens a bout your dream car.....you never know who knows somebody that had one or has one. The Car will find you!
