The Ferrari 412 debuted in April 1985 as an evolution of the existing V12 model range. Ferrari bored out the engine by 1 mm to 4943 cm³; the name 412 designates the displacement of a single cylinder in cubic centimeters. For the first time in a Ferrari, Bosch ABS was available, and the higher rear deck provided increased trunk space. 576 units were produced, 270 of them with a manual transmission. After production ceased in 1989, the Mondial was temporarily the only Ferrari with 2+2 seating until the 456 revived the concept in 1992.

Good to know

  • A black 1987 412 starred in the 2006 film Daft Punk's Electroma and was later auctioned for charity, its "HUMAN" license plates signed by the directors.
  • Externally, no badging remained to indicate whether a manual or automatic transmission was installed.

Refinements by Pininfarina

Pininfarina modernized the bodywork through numerous subtle changes: the bumpers were painted in body color, a deeper spoiler was added up front, and a black valance housing fog lamps and exhaust tips was fitted at the rear. The side window trim switched from chrome to black, and new, flat-faced wheels carried TRX tires. Both manual and automatic transmissions remained available.
