Ferrari 212 edit

This article is about the 1951 open-wheeled racing car. For the road-going cars see Ferrari 212 Inter and Ferrari 212 Export. For the late-1960s sports-racing car see Ferrari 212 E.

The Ferrari 212 was a one-off Formula One and Formula Two racing car, built by Scuderia Ferrari in 1951 for the Swiss Ecurie Espadon team, owned by Rudi Fischer. The car was based on the older Ferrari 166 and 275 formula racing cars.
