Ferrari 512 BB / 512 Bbi


Classic Ferrari 512 BB and 512 Bbi 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984


The 512BB (Berlinetta Boxer) was introduced at the Paris Salon in 1976 as a replacement for the 365 GT4/BB. Visually there appeared to be little difference but on close inspection the new car had a "chin" spoiler under the front grille and NACA ducts low down on the body sides and just in front of the rear wings. The flat-12 boxer engine was given an extra 552cc over the 365 GT4/BB model, bringing the displacement up to 4,942cc. Quoted power was now 360bhp and the maximum speed had risen to 188mph/302kmh. Production ended in 1984 to make way for the controversially-styled Testarossa.
