"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.

The interior of the car is original and is in beautiful condition, showing some small signs of patina. The car was supplied new with air conditioning which still works very effectively today.
