The 126 C2 was unveiled to the press in Maranello on January 6th, 1982. It was a development of the previous model and was about 20 kg lighter. It retained the engine solution with twin overhead compressors and just one wastegate valve. Each compressor received the exhaust gas from a line of cylinders and fed the opposite line to achieve a kind of fluid dynamic balance. After the accident of Didier Pironi during Germany GP tests, Mario Andretti was called to replace him and in the Italian Grand Prix, he took 3rd with this car.
