1983 FERRARI 512 BBI

Any roadgoing street version of Enzo Ferrari's mid-engine, flat-12 racecars have always been an obsession for collectors to own and enjoy. These became available for the first time with the Berlinetta Boxer, or BB, introduced in 1973 as the 365 GT4 BB. It would replace the front engine, 12-cylinder powered Ferrari 365 Daytona. Not to be mistaken by the mid-engine layout of the Dino V6-powered cars, the Berlinetta Boxer was the first mid-engine, 12-cylinder road car to wear Ferrari's Prancing Horse badge on the hood. It would progress to a larger displacement 12-cylinder in 1976 newly renamed as the 512BB, and ultimately the 512BBi from 1981 through the end of production in 1984. This final Flat-12 iteration, Tipo F110A, engine would be equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and Magnetti Marelli Dinoplex electronic ignition for optimum performance. Only 1,007 512BBi examples would be produced worldwide during those 4 short years, when production shifted to the more mass-produced Testarossa that would replace it.
