The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer was updated in 1976 as the 512 BB with refinements to the drivetrain with dry-sump lubrication and increased compression ratio, as well as larger rear wheels for better handling of the added power. Its new naming convention gave reference to the engine’s 5.0L displacement and the flat 12-cylinder layout. In 1981, further refinements were made for the last series, the 512 BBi, which included Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a dual-plate clutch for better city driving. This 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi is presented in the original Rosso Corsa exterior and sumptuous tan leather interior with the very desirable Daytona seat pattern.
The Boxer’s interior combines a race car’s intimacy with the comfort of a grand-touring machine, including air conditioning and power windows. This is one of only 1,007 Boxers produced in the final series from 1981-84, with the last year being the most refined systems for power and reliability. The powerful, naturally aspirated, 4942cc overhead four-cam flat 12-cylinder inspired by Formula 1 racing develops 335 HP. The Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection system provides strong performance and smooth drivability, while reliability is also enhanced by use of a toothed timing belt instead of chains to drive the overhead camshafts.
High-performance handling comes by way of front and rear unequal-length A-arm independent suspension, twin rear coil springs, an anti-roll bar, performance shock absorbers, hydraulic disc brakes and factory-correct Cromodora alloy TRX wheels with knock-off hubs. Full instrumentation monitors every aspect of the 512 BBi’s powertrain for the driver, with the iconic gated manual shifter giving direct engagement of the 5-speed transaxle gearbox. All of these combined for exceptional performance in the 512 BBi’s day with a 174 MPH estimated top speed and 0 to 60 MPH time of 5.4 seconds.
The 512 BBi Boxer is the first of the midengine supercars from Ferrari and the last hand-built production model by body manufacturer Scaglietti, with its all-steel-tube structure supporting the aluminum hood, doors and engine cover. A recent engine-out service brought maintenance items current, and this Boxer has ventured only 13,482 kilometers since new.
