312 F1-67 C. AMON 1967

Designed in 1966, the series 312 was updated for the 1967 season and, in fact, the model continued to evolve all the way up to 1969. This updated version was lighter and technically sound, but less agile than its English adversaries and asked a lot of the driver. To try to improve its power, the fluid dynamics of the cylinder heads were modified by inverting the inlet and the exhaust ports. The model with four-valve heads per cylinder made its debut at Monza and the Scuderia’s best results came courtesy of New Zealander Chris Amon who managed third position on the podium on four occasions in 1967.
