1984 Ferrari 512 BBi

The Ferrari 512 BBi is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.9-liter flat-12 engine equipped with mechanical fuel injection, paired with a five-speed manual transaxle driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.

The Berlinetta Boxer features a mid-engine layout and a lightweight construction combining a tubular chassis with steel body sections, aluminum front and rear panels, and composite lower elements. The exterior design was developed by Pininfarina and reflects the brand’s classic wedge-shaped supercar era.

Exterior equipment includes pop-up headlights, a front spoiler, NACA side ducts, fog lights, and quad exhaust outlets. The car rides on center-lock five-spoke wheels.

The fully independent suspension uses unequal-length double wishbones with coilover dampers and anti-roll bars at both axles. Braking is handled by ventilated disc brakes at all four corners.

The interior is trimmed in leather and features sport seats, a gated manual shifter, air conditioning, power windows, and a period-correct audio system. The cockpit layout is driver-focused and emphasizes mechanical engagement.

Instrumentation consists of analog gauges including a speedometer, tachometer, and auxiliary readouts arranged across the dashboard.

The Ferrari 512 BBi represents a classic naturally aspirated mid-engine supercar, defined by mechanical simplicity, distinctive design, and traditional analog driving character.
