Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The first two races of 1979 were run with the 312 T3 and the T4 debuted at the South African Grand Prix with an immediate one-two. Another one-two at Monza sealed the title for Scheckter, with Villeneuve winning. The car was a further development of the T series, with wider sides to carry air ducts to the radiators and intakes and inboard rear brakes. Ultimatecarpage lists five cars built.
