The 512 BB marked Ferrari’s return to mid-engined silhouette for its V12 grand tourers, following the Daytona era. With a flat-12 “boxer” engine, aggressive wedge styling, and luxurious interior tailored to high-speed comfort, it offered a refined yet potent experience. The 512 BB was the culmination of Ferrari’s GT design ethos in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
