The Ferrari Boxer series, beginning with the 365 GT4 BB in 1973, marked a pivotal shift for Maranello, moving away from the traditional front-engine V12s that had defined its grand tourers. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the Boxer adopted a mid-mounted flat-12 engine, a layout directly inspired by Ferrari's contemporary Formula 1 cars. This configuration not only optimized weight distribution but also allowed for a lower center of gravity, enhancing handling and performance. The 512 BB, introduced in 1976, further refined this concept, increasing engine displacement to 5.0 liters and improving torque delivery. Its ultimate evolution arrived in 1981 with the 512 BBi, which replaced the Weber carburetors with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, boosting reliability, drivability, and emissions compliance without sacrificing its exotic appeal. Only 1,007 examples of the 512 BBi were produced between 1981 and 1984, making it a rare and significant piece of Ferrari history, representing the last of the Boxer line before the introduction of the Testarossa. This 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi stands as a remarkably preserved example of the final iteration of the iconic Boxer. Showing an incredibly low 5,165 miles on the odometer, this two-door coupe presents in exceptional condition, a testament to meticulous care over its four decades. Its Rosso Corsa paintwork gleams, perfectly complementing the car's purposeful, wedge-shaped design. Crucially, this BBi has just received a comprehensive belt service, ensuring its legendary flat-12 engine is ready for spirited driving with zero miles accumulated since the work was completed. This is a rare chance to acquire a low-mileage 512 BBi, a true analog supercar from Ferrari's golden era.
