Description

The Modulo has an extremely low and wedge-shaped body, with a canopy-style glass roof that slides forward to permit entry to the cabin of the car. All four wheels are partly covered. Another special feature of the design are 24 holes in the engine cover that reveal the Ferrari V12 engine which develops 550 hp (410 kW)[1] to propel the Modulo to a top speed of around 220 mph (354 km/h)[citation needed] and from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in approximately 3.0 seconds.[citation needed]

History

The Modulo originally started out as a

1970 Geneva Motor Show and was originally painted black, but was later repainted in the white. The Modulo was well received by critics and has won 22 awards for its design.[2][3]

In 2014, Pininfarina sold the Modulo to American entrepreneur and automotive aficionado James Glickenhaus who is restoring it to full operating condition.[4]
