"The best all round sports and GT car we have ever tested", Road and Track Magazine. The new boxer was released at the 1971 Turin Auto Show, where Ferrari introduced a stunning new mid-engine road car to compete head-on with the Lamborghini Miura and the Maserati Bora.
Named the 365 GT4 BB, short for "Berlinetta Boxer", indicating its body style and 'flat-12' engine layout, it was finally released for production in 1973, with the improved 512 BB appearing in 1976 with an enlarged five-litre engine.
The ultimate 512 BBi debuted in Paris in 1981, with the "i" reflecting the new Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection system. Performance of all Berlinetta Boxers, particularly the final 512 BBi, remains exceptional, with a top speed of 174 mph and a quarter-mile acceleration of just 13.85 seconds at 103.5 mph.
