512 BB (1976 to 1981)

The Ferrari 512 BB (Berlinetta Boxer) was produced from 1976 to 1981 and was Ferrari’s flagship mid-engined road car of the late 1970s, evolving from the earlier 365 GT4 BB. It was powered by a 4.9-litre naturally aspirated flat-12 engine producing around 360 hp, paired exclusively with a 5-speed gated manual transmission, and featured dramatic wedge styling that defined Ferrari’s supercar image of the era. Ferrari built approximately 929 examples of the 512 BB before it was replaced by the fuel-injected 512 BBi. In the Australian market, the 512 BB is considered a highly desirable blue-chip classic Ferrari, with right-hand-drive cars being extremely rare, and values strongly influenced by originality, matching numbers, and documented engine and timing-belt service history.
