Introduced in 1973, Ferrari's Berlinetta Boxer (BB) bridged the gap between the front-engine V12 365 GTB/4 “Daytona” and the 1980s Testarossa. Designed by Pininfarina to compete with the Lamborghini Countach, the initial 365 GT4 BB marked the start of Ferrari's mid-engined, flat-12 line. This engine was based on successful racing engineering, evolving from the 1964 Ferrari 512 Formula One car. The 4.4-liter “F102 A” engine was later expanded to the 5.0-liter “F102 B” in the 512 BB, offering improved aerodynamics and cooling. The 512 BBi, introduced in 1981, featured Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection to reduce emissions, maintaining the same power output. Only 1,007 512 BBi models were built between 1981 and 1984, noted for their drivability with a dual-plate clutch.

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY:
The Ferrari 512 BBi, known as the Berlinetta Boxer, marked a new era for Ferrari with its 12-cylinder mid-engine design, inspired by Formula 1. The flat-12 engine, named for its horizontally opposed pistons, offered improved handling due to a low center of gravity. Designed by Pininfarina, the 512 BBi was Ferrari’s most expensive model for nearly a decade. It featured a robust steel and aluminum chassis and met European emissions standards with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection.
The fuel-injected engine delivered 340bhp at 6,000 rpm or 360bhp at 6,200 rpm, achieving speeds over 188 mph. Built on a tubular steel frame, it had a Pininfarina-designed steel body and a five-speed manual rear transaxle. The suspension included race-car style A-arms and anti-roll bars. Initially equipped with metric Cromodora wheels, many owners switched to conventional wheels for easier tire replacement. The interior featured leather seats, thick carpets, air conditioning, power windows, and seat belts. A total of 1007 BBis were produced.
