The 312 T4 was an all out ground effects F1 car. The T-series were made to be as slippery as possible with a super narrow body that was made just as wide as their flat 12 engine. Ferrari, in the late '70s was in fierce competition with the Lotus 79 that made ground effects design a winning formula. The T4 had a lot of ugly nicknames, but when it debuted in 1979, it won six races that year... 3 for Giles Villeneuve and 3 for Scheckter. This was Jody Scheckter's only Drivers Championship win and the fourth Constructor's Championship in five seasons for the T series. Ferrari gave him this car in 1980 when the T5 replaced it and he drove it again in 2010 for a Goodwood type event in Bahrain
This model is the #11 South African Grand Prix winner driven by Scheckter.
