The 512 BB (Berlinetta Boxer) is Ferrari's mid-engined flat-12 flagship, produced 1976-1981 as the successor to the 365 GT4 BB. It enlarged the engine to 4,943cc, moved to a dry sump, and used a wider rear track and a revised, more flowing tail. It was Ferrari's top-of-the-range road car of its era and a defining wedge-shaped 1970s supercar.
The 180-degree V12 and its distinctive induction and exhaust note give it an unmistakable character, and it marked Ferrari's transition into the mid-engined flagship era. The BB lineage, with its Le Mans racing derivatives, adds strong motorsport heritage.
