1982 Ferrari 512 BBI COUPE

Part of our Private Collection, not for sale.

The 1982 Ferrari 512 BBi (Berlinetta Boxer) Coupe is considered special for several reasons:

Last of the Berlinetta Boxer Series: The 512 BBi was the last model in Ferrari’s Berlinetta Boxer series, which began with the 365 GT4 BB in 1971. The BBi designation stands for “Berlinetta Boxer injected,” indicating the inclusion of fuel injection in the engine.

Fuel Injection Technology: The 512 BBi was the first Ferrari to feature fuel injection, replacing the carburetors used in its predecessors. This transition was made to comply with increasingly stringent emission regulations while maintaining performance.

Performance: The 512 BBi was powered by a 4.9-liter flat-12 engine that produced around 340 horsepower. It had impressive performance figures for its time, with a top speed of over 170 mph and a 0-60 mph time of around 5 seconds.

Design: Designed by Pininfarina, the 512 BBi had a distinctive and timeless exterior design. The mid-engine layout and the absence of a traditional front-engine grille contributed to its aerodynamic and aggressive appearance.

Limited Production: The production run of the 512 BBi was relatively limited, adding to its exclusivity and desirability among collectors. Limited production runs are often a factor that makes a car more special in the eyes of enthusiasts.

Historical Significance: The Berlinetta Boxer series played a crucial role in Ferrari’s history, showcasing the brand’s commitment to high-performance mid-engine sports cars. The 512 BBi, as the final iteration of this series, holds historical significance within Ferrari’s lineage.

Classic Ferrari Heritage: Over the years, classic Ferraris have gained a reputation for their combination of performance, design, and engineering excellence. The 512 BBi is part of this rich heritage, contributing to its allure among collectors and automotive enthusiasts.

Overall, the 1982 Ferrari 512 BBi Coupe is special due to its technological advancements, performance capabilities, distinctive design, limited production, and its place in Ferrari’s storied history.
