That would be a V-12 Ferrari. Looks like David Piper's car. It's an engine from the mid to late 60's, found in the P3, 412P and P4 cars. It's fuel injected, has 4 cams, and dual plugs per cylinder. It happens to be the finest sounding engine ever created.
A few years ago, I was attending the car festivities in Carmel/Monterrey in August and happened to be out early one morning, running the 17 mile highway loop, before breakfast. There was a 412P being auctioned that year in one of the big auctions. I happened to pull off at scenic spot to take a few pictures for the wife. Off in the distance, I heard the 412P. A prospective buyer was getting a demo ride and they passed me at full chat. The noise that thing made on the overrun was worth my left nut. Do anything you can to hear one in anger.
