The 8c35 (various engine displacements were used, ranging from 3 liters to almost 4 liters) and the 12c36 look identical, other than the 35 only had exhaust pipes on one side of the car, and the 36 on both. They use the same chassis and have almost identical bodywork. The 12c36 also is a SOHC V-12 of 4.1 liters.

The 12c37 is a new car, with a lower chassis, and a 4.5 liter DOHC V-12. The bodywork is different from the earler cas. The 1938 Tipo 312 looks like this car, but uses a 3 liter 12 cylinder motor, due to rules changes limiting the maximum engine siize to 3 liters
