Ferrari 412 Reimagined with 812 Superfast V12
- A Ferrari 412 received a rebuild featuring a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine from the 812 Superfast.
- Otsuka Maxwell Design completed the extensive restomod project in over 5000 hours.
- The build incorporates 12 throttle bodies, port injection, a carbon airbox, and a gated manual transmission.
This Ferrari 412 transforms into a V12, gated-manual grand tourer with cashmere carpeting, demonstrating a clear departure from restraint.
A US-based owner invested approximately US$1.8 million (roughly NZ$3.1 million) too reimagine Ferrari’s frequently enough-overlooked four-seat coupe, creating a substantially more powerful machine.
Otsuka Maxwell Design (OMD) executed the project over more than 5000 hours, responding to a simple brief: build the ultimate 412, disregarding conventional limitations. Otsuka Maxwell Design (OMD)
Old Badge, Very Modern Lungs
The centerpiece of this change resides under the hood. OMD replaced the original Colombo-derived V12 with Ferrari’s contemporary 6.5-litre naturally aspirated F140 engine, sourced from the 812 superfast. While Ferrari did not originally design this engine for an ’80s GT, a proper restomod embraces such deviations.
DRIVEN has learned that OMD has not yet released the final power and torque figures.
