The Ferrari 312T was a Ferrari Formula One car design, based on the 312B3 from 1974. In various versions, it was used from 1975 until 1980. It was designed by Mauro Forghieri for the 1975 season and was an uncomplicated and clean design that responded to mechanical upgrades.

The 312T series won 27 races, four Constructors\' and three Drivers\' Championships, and was replaced for the 1981 season by the 126 C, Ferrari\'s first turbocharged F1 car.

The car was powered by the powerful and ultra reliable flat-12 engine which gave around 510bhp. The T in the name stood for \'transverse\', as the gearbox was mounted in this way, improving the car\'s handling characteristics, which had been the downfall of its predecessor.

FERRARI 312T4:

In 1979, a significant amount of progress was made in aerodynamics and to challenge Lotus, Forghieri realised he had to follow their lead and design a ground effect car for 1979. The 312T4, introduced at the 1979 South African Grand Prix was closely based on the 312T3. Its origins placed restrictions on the aerodynamic design since the T series had never been designed with ground effect in mind. The 312T4 monocoque was designed to be as narrow as possible, to take advantage of ground effects, but this was limited by the width of the flat 12 engine.

The car was extremely reliable and it won 6 races in 1979, three each for Villeneuve and Scheckter. Other solid placings helped Ferrari win its fourth Constructors\' Championship in 5 seasons and Scheckter his only Drivers\' Championship.
