One of the things I like about the 412 is that with the roof off and
because of the targa roll bar it looks like a two seater when it is
actually a four seater tourer. On the upgrade front, you can have
whatever you want. I am going to get my engine uprated with an extra
30% power and torque in the autumn at Bristol cars, which is as far
as you can go on the carb 360 engine without compromising
smoothness. I had thought about fitting a double turbocharger but
with what is on offer down the normally aspirated route it isn't
necessary.They have already adjusted the ride and shocks so that it
really digs into corners. The 412 are the best handling of the V8s.

BCL do a 6.3 and a 6.7 fuel injected option that drops straight in
with well over 450 BHP, or you can have more!
