Ferrari 512BBi Boxer 1984

Description

A Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer is one of a series of cars produced by Ferrari in Italy between 1973 and 1984. They used a mid-mounted flat-12 (180° V12, not actually with a Boxer crankshaft) engine, replacing the Font layout Daytona, and were succeeded in the Ferrari stable by the Testarossa.

However, third parties made conversions, and quite a few of them are now in the United States.The Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injected BB 512i introduced in 1981 was the last of the series. The fuel injected motor produced cleaner emissions and offered a better balance of performance and daily-driver temperament. External differentiators from the BB 512 besides badging include a change to metric sized wheels and the Michelin TRX metric tire system, small white running lights in the nose, and red rear fog lamps outboard of the exhaust pipes in the rear valance. 1007 BB 512i models were produced.
