[[Image:1952 Ferrari 212 Vignale Coupe.JPG|right|thumb|250px|[[Vignale]]'s 212 show car from 1952]] |

The '''212''' replaced [[Ferrari]]'s successful [[Ferrari 166 Inter|166]] and [[Ferrari 195 Inter|195]] Inter [[GT car]]s in [[1951]]. Unveiled at the [[Brussels Motor Show]] that year, the 212 was an evolution of the 166 — a [[sports car]] for the road that could also win international races. |
|||
The chassis was similar to the [[Ferrari 125|125]] with [[double wishbone]]s in front and [[live axle]]s in back. [[Coachbuilder]]s included [[Carrozzeria Touring]], [[Ghia]], [[Vignale]], and now [[Pinin Farina]]. The latter was an important move for the company, as Farina was already well-known and adding his styling skills would be a tremendous boost for Maranello. However, Pinin Farina was as proud as [[Enzo Ferrari]], and neither would go to the other to request business up to this point. A mutual meeting halfway between Maranello and [[Turin]] was the negotiated solution. |
|||
Both 2500 mm and 2600 mm versions were built (''Export'' and ''Inter'' models, respectively), both with a larger 2.6 L (2563 cc/156 in³) version of Ferrari's ''[[Ferrari Colombo engine|Colombo]]'' [[V12]] engine. Like the 195, the additional displacement over the 166 was achieved with a larger bore, this time to 68 mm. Output was 150 to 165 hp (111 to 123 kW) with one or three [[Weber carburetor|Weber]] 36DCF [[carburettor]]s. The short-wheelbase Export model got the more-powerful engine. 5 hp (3.7 kW) more was on the table for [[1952]] thanks to better cylinder heads. |
