Title:
HW Ferrari 512S
Description:
The Ferrari 512S was only made for one year in the spectraflame colors. It is relative difficult to find due the lower volume of production.
The window ”glass” is blue-tinted and can be removed. All four wheels are medium-size caps.
Mattel’s version of the Ferrari 512S faithfully re-created the large lift-up cockpit hatch and rear engine cover with black louvered vents.
Only two Ferraris were immortalized by Mattel during the redline era. The first of these was the Ferrari 312 P race car, issued in 1970 as part of the Grand Prix series.The second was a prototype show car known as the Ferrari 512 S Speciale. Interestingly, the two redline Ferraris were technically based on the same car! The red Ferrari 312 P Spyder with #60 badges that Mattel’s car is based upon was one of three built in late 1968/early 1969 as part of a renewed Ferrari racing program, and it carried chassis number 0868. This particular 312P Spyder was raced three times in preparation for the 1969 Le Mans 24-hour race. In its inaugural race in April of 1969, Mario Andretti and Chris Amon drove 0868 to a 1st place in class finish at the 12 hours of Sebring. A few weeks later, Amon and Pedro Rodriguez drove 0868, sporting the familiar #60 badges, to a 4th place finish at Brands Hatch in the UK.
The Ferrari 512 S Speciale, was the star of the Turin Salon in October 1969 and was the inspiration for the 1972 released Ferrari 512S.
