Race cars were already using a mid-engined layout but it was the Lamborghini Miura that made Ferrari accelerate their plans for a mid-engined supercar. The debut of the 365 GT4 BB happened in 1971 at the Turin Motor Show. Gone was the old front-engine 365 GTB Daytona and in was the 365 GT4 BB. The Berlinetta Boxer platform was updated in 1976 with the 512 BB. The 512 BB has refinements to the drivetrain, including dry-sump lubrication, an increased compression ratio of 9:2.1 and larger rear wheels for better handling of the added power. Its new naming convention gave reference to the engine\u2019s 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 with more low-end torque for better tractability and a dual-plate clutch for better city driving. Fuel injection also made it easier for federalizers to calibrate the ever-tightening emissions standards. Exterior differences included metric wheels and Michelin TRX tires along with changes to the front grille running lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The 512 BBi is a more civilized and user-friendly car than its predecessors. The fuel injection system makes it easier to drive, and the ride is more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><small>&lt;p&gt;Road &amp; Track (1982)&lt;\/p&gt;<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer Ultimate Guide to the 365 GT4 BB, 512 BB &amp; 512 BBi The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer, a series of mid-engined V12 supercars produced throughout the 1970s and 80s, marked a radical departure for Ferrari, with its groundbreaking flat-12 engine, stunning Pininfarina design, and a legacy that shaped the future of high-performance automobiles.
