The Ferrari 212 E Montagna was a one-off spyder sports racing car produced by Ferrari in 1968. The car was built on a Dino 206 S chassis and used a unique 2-litre, 48-valve, flat-12 engine, a development of the 1512 1.5-litre Formula One engine. Driven by Peter Schetty, the car dominated the 1969 European Hill Climb Championship, placing first in every race it entered and setting many course records.[1]
Development history
In 1964, Ferrari developed the Tipo 207 1.5- litre flat-twelve engine for its 1512 F1 car. This basic design by Mauro Forghieri was modified by Stefano Jacoponi to create the Tipo 232 2-litre engine used in the 212 E. Overall capacity of this engine was 1990.08 cc, bore and stroke was 65 x and the compression ratio was 11:1. Initially, the engine produced approximately 280-290 bhp at 11,500 rpm.[1][3]
