The Ferrari 512 BBi represents the final evolution of Maranello's flat-12 Berlinetta Boxer series, a line that began in 1973 with the 365 GT4 BB. Initially conceived to challenge Lamborghini's Miura and usher Ferrari into the mid-engine supercar era for its road cars, the Boxer series was a radical departure for the company, moving away from its traditional front-engine V12 layout. The "BBi" designation, introduced in 1981, signified the adoption of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, replacing the earlier carbureted setup for improved emissions and drivability, while still retaining the iconic 5.0-liter flat-12 engine. Only 1,007 examples of the 512 BBi were produced between 1981 and 1984, making it a relatively rare and highly sought-after model that perfectly encapsulates the wedge-shaped aesthetic of the era before the arrival of the Testarossa. This 1984 Corson-built replica pays homage to that celebrated lineage, capturing the distinctive lines and presence of the original 512 BBi. It is understood to be car #17 of approximately 77 kits produced by Corson, making it a unique interpretation of the iconic Ferrari. Power comes from a 2.8L V6 engine, paired with a manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience. Showing 18,871 miles, this example presents an opportunity to enjoy the striking aesthetics of a mid-engine Ferrari. The owner notes that the air conditioning requires a new compressor to function, and while the catalytic converter has been removed, it is included with the sale. This is an intriguing opportunity to acquire a distinctive tribute to one of Ferrari's most evocative designs.
