About the Ferrari 312PB

The Ferrari 312PB first debuted in 1971, featuring an aluminum monocoque bolted onto a steel frame, and equipped with a detuned version of the 180°V12 engine originally used on their 312B F1 machine.
Suffering from endurance issues in the 1971 season, the 312PB was upgraded on various fronts for the following year: increased engine output, separation of the gear box, strengthened chassis, separation of fuel tanks, and altered cowl shape to match low-profilization of the tyres. All these changes gave Ferrari a perfect winning record in 1972, except for Le Mans which the team did not enter that year.
In the following year of 1973 other upgrades were made to the car to make it competitive enough for Le Mans. However with the Ferrari racing team facing budget cuts from company owner Fiat, the team decided to focus solely on F1 from 1974 and on, making the 312PB the last endurance race car built by the Ferrari team.
