Friends, this is finger-licking gorgeous.... Listen to the heavenly symphony of this 3 litre flat 12! And in the sports car configuration it wasn't even revving as high as in the 312 B2's F1 Cars... Sitting here, watching this..... what beauty. Forghieri was a great engineer who made beautiful real Race Cars and Engines. Credit where it is due....
***** Odd, I think of it as a fun fact, literal or not. And why should I stop being literal when I am the only one (In this thread)? I'd rather be that than say what everybody else says.
Thank you so much Steven, for sharing this incredible and rare car with us! All the cars on this channel are special and wonderful in their own way but this is truly a very special treat for us all. Kind regards from Leo in Denmark.
Just listen to that. Listen to it and forget about everything that's bothering you for a brief moment. That's the beauty of Ferrari. It's not about 0-60 times or 'Ring times. It's about how you feel when behind the wheel of a moving symphony and a rolling piece of art. Only those who have driven a V12 Ferrari understand.
In 1973 Jacky Ickx qualified one of these little Ferraris at Spa Franchochamps for the 1000km race at an average speed of 164 mph. That until Monza F1 Gp in 2018, was the fastest ever lap of a road circuit.
at the beginning of '70s the prototype (P) championship was nearly more important than the F1 one, the sound of the 312 "boxer" Ferrari (180^ flat) was exactly that shown in the video: "harmonic" ... .
In my opion cars that run for more than 2 hours are the best. F1 has always been technical even clinical series. Endurance racing combines that with full on precision in everything, one small misjudgment hours down the line can spell disaster or at best a DNF.
+Petrolicious your video's production is incredible every shot edit, sound edit music choice is magic. Bringing these amazing muscle, sports & racing machines, the rare, brutally expensive and the obscure manufacturers that only a small group would recognize has raised the bar For us petrol heads all over the world. Thank you
For those 35 thumbs down all I can say is you're never seen a 312PB in person . This is great to see it on TH-cam. I try to get to most of the vintage racing in my area as possible . The beauty of the car is only matched by the sound. This Ferrari is load , really load ear splitting , on the pit wall at Laguna seca when one blasted down the straight, thought I was a teenager again . Great stuff , Cheers for the video
This channel presents perhaps the best photo journal I’ve ever seen of race car stories. The content is so stunning, you end up falling in love not just with the gorgeous car and the breathtaking sound of the engine, but with the sun, sky and earth around the race track 🏆😘🙏🏽
The production quality of this video is so perfect. The combination of the piano music and the V12 whine might just be the most beautiful thing ive ever heard.
Your own piece of motoring history..... Lucky Lucky Man. Beautiful, Visceral, Orchestral automotive art. I`m so pleased that there are some people out there that believe in keeping the history alive. Thank you.
Man, Petrolicious, your videos are as beautiful as the cars they showcase. The music, the car footage, the interviews and history... absolutely my favorite TH-cam channel! Keep up the stellar work.
After hours of seeing and listening to this video, can say this is the best one you have ever done, but then i see the others videos you have put together and DAMM... better than the one before. Thank you for the experiences!!
Fantastic impressive camerawork once again ! Awesome car too, watched the last few seconds like ten times, just to hear that gorgeous sound again and again. Thanks !
You guys always do such an excellent job shooting these cars and editing these pieces every week, I always look forward to the films from Petrolicious. I have watched this video four times now, several times for how well it was put together, but mostly for that unbelievable sound. Well done to you for the video and to Mr. Read for still driving this amazing machine!
I had a demanding day work, came home, opened a bottle of wine and ate a steak and then found and watched this. Sublime. This such a delight to watch and to listen to.
I've met, had a drink with and talked to Mr. Brian Redman, talk about a man with a legacy. Amazing car btw, such a pure sound I will never grow tired of.
ferrari 3 litre 12 pot engines are a gift from the heavens... if i could hear that sound when i wake up for the rest of my life, i'd have finally found nirvana. i never knew the sound alone from ferrari 3 litres could almost make me high...
I don't know who recorded the audio for this car at the track but you got it spot on, and great mix, very rare in a car video. Minimal distortion just gorgeous. Rest of the video is great too, I was just surprised by how good the mix is...
Best feature yet, Petrolicious. I've enjoyed other cars featured even more, but your photography and succinct story telling is impeccable. Congratulations on a wonderful formula, and please keep these coming!
It just warms my heart seeing a beautiful beast of a race car being whipped around a race track. I mean can you fucking imagine...taking your vintage Ferrari race car around the world. Manly tears, man. Manly tears
what a treat and find these videos are!! Great for the insights from the guys who raced or were affiliated to the car at the time it was being raced. Just the right length of time too, no getting bored here! Good work, Petrolicious :)
This is why I've always loved the freewheeling racers of the 70's and especially the 80's. Not only the amazing designs and looks but just the raw power and control.
Dear FIA: This is what a race car should sound like. Fix your regulations and bin the hybrid engines in F1 thanks. Yours truly, a fan that has moved on to more pure forms of motorsport
Mike M PS: this car is a flat 12, and has a different sound than the V12. I like the V12 sound better. But either way I always wonder where that "ripping sheets" quote came from. I have a whole closet full of un-ripped sheets, which is pretty good evidence that ripping them does not sound like a Ferrari V12 or flat 12 (or horizontally opposed 12 or boxer 12 for the ninnies that want to argue about the distinction.
What a fantastic sound, let alone the car. Brilliant. Was that a LM 250 in the background when the owner was talking? If so, yet another beautiful sound, a classic V12 "ripping calico" sound.
almost positive we saw this yesterday! An SVRA event - Mid-Ohio Vintage Grand Prix. (6/28/15) car was beautiful and quite the hidden treasure. and if that was in fact Steven Read we met, he was a very humble man! always an honor to hear from owners.
I probably saw this car at Watkins Glen in 1972. There were 3 312PB's entered, including Redman/Merazio. This video does not do justice to the sound and feel of this car. I don't expect an amateur racer and collector to drive the car like an Andretti or a Redman, so no disrespect to Mr. Read, who helped make this wonderful video. In 1972 there was no chicane on the straight at the Glen, so cars would be at very high speed as they approached the turn at the end of the straight. At very high speed these cars would downshift. Several hundred meters away you would feel an impact in your chest from the downshift. Of course, the high rpm shriek was even higher pitched and incredibly loud as well. The chicane is there now, and there are no cars like this anymore. Oh well.
The Ferrari 312 was a highly successful 3.3 litre V-12 (hence 312) Formula One car raced by the factory team from 1966 to 1969. The 312 B was used from 1970 until early 1975. The 312 P began as a Group 6 Prototype-Sports Car raced in 1969 and 1970. It was a 3.3 litre Formula One 312 with an open Barchetta, and later a closed top Berlinetta body, the latter of which is one of most beautiful racing cars ever built by Ferrari. Chris Amon and Mario Andretti drove the open top 312 P to second overall and first in class at Sebring in 1969. Two Berlinettas were entered in the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans. They were fifth and sixth on the grid, but didn't finish.
Went to Bologna for a school trip, took a stroll down to the Ferrari museum, walked in, looked at some very nice cars and then I see this beautiful 312pb sitting there and my mouth just drops
+David R Flat- is a bad expression in general because it just means a 180 degree engine, which can mean both Boxer- and 180 degree V-. The boxer has pistons boxing against each other on strokes to get maximum balance in the engine, where as 180 degree V is an async firing order. And to make matters worse with the Ferrari 312 PB shown here, the B was for Boxer, named by the press to diff the 71+72 models from the 70 model, but in reality this particular engine did not have the opposed boxing pistons, so it was just a flat/180 degree V-12.
+barath4545 the name 312pb has no relation to the flat 12, strictly speaking ferrari never made a 312pb anyway but they had already made a 312p so they were known as 312pb because it was the second one, for the same reason there was an opel kadett a and b and c, a golf mk2, mk3 etc.
Its crazy to think that at the same time this was dominating the track overseas, the 69 Z28 Camaro was dominating Trans Am racing. They are 2 very differnent types of racing. But Trans Am was what was popular here at the time. It just show how behind we were with engineering and building engines and race cars in comparison with Europe.

Well stated!
DAT SOUND!
Mojo Risin best sounding racing car EVER.
Watching this in 1080p with the sound cranked up is a near religious experience. May god bless Petrolicious and Ferrari. Amen.
Amen.
Papa Bless.
Those downshifts are orgasmic!
Even Jesus would have stopped believing in God if he had ever heard a V12
How could you play music over the sound of that car. That was a crime!!!!
Wow what a car!!!!!!!
If you pardon my improper language: - Screw turbos, hybrids and diesels. This is how a proper racing car sounds like. Also no cookie cutter drivers!
Whats a driver anymore? Most cars drive themselves these days!
thank safety regulations for neutering any thrills the past had
There should coexist hybrid, electric, naturally aspirated, etc.. No reason why we should have to choose.
Wow it's fast. At 20ft per nanosecond (As stated 0:45 ) it moves approximately 20 times the speed of light.
That's why that car won.
To think you took the time out of your day to give a shit...
Thayne Palmer A very short time, given that light travels about a foot pr. nanosecond and that that was knowledge I already possessed.
***** Odd, I think of it as a fun fact, literal or not. And why should I stop being literal when I am the only one (In this thread)? I'd rather be that than say what everybody else says.
Quicker than anything lol
Oh man, the goosebumps I got at the downshifts in the end of the video. Beautiful!

I really want to find the song at 4:06 can you please help??
According to my Soundhound, it's "Grace" by Patrick Watson, from "Love Songs for Robots."
Robert O'Brien totally different song
The initial 25 secs with that thundering downshift at the end of the straight just made my day...I've goosebumps and watery eyes now!
