James, these images are from the GB Progretti on the design and history of the 512TR. The build sheet is for the make, not for one car. The date is 1981. | ||

Thanks guys I am really enjoying the car so far. Willis, the Boxer has a 12 so it is a "real" Ferrari. Dave, it has "Daytona" style seats which are tan with brown inserts and a brown dash. | ||

Ric - great images. What are they? Are these related to a particular VIN Car, or were they specification sheets for the Boxer model in general? What date is written in the right lower corner? I can't quite make out the 8?. Where did you find them? Thanks. Jim S. | ||

If you're a true Boxer fanatic, these links might get you excited... www.rainbolt.com/ferrari/31Dec02/512bbi_build.gif www.rainbolt.com/ferrari/31Dec02/512bbi_top.gif They're big images, so you may have to D/L them and reduce them in order to see the whole image. | ||

HenryK: Hate to be a stickler, but Ferrari has called the Boxer a "180 degree V-12", in addition to "flat 12" and "horizontally opposed". Somewhere around here I have that in a brochure. | ||

DES: The actual designation is 512 BBi; which means 5 liter, 12 cylinder, Berlinetta Boxer. No one ever said it is a V-12......if they do, then they are wrong. Berlinetta stands for COUPE. The i stands for injected. The BOXER designation refers to the flat 12 alignment of the engine. Simple, isn't it? | ||

Ok, so as i understand it, a Bb512i is a Boxer Berlinetta with a fuel injected, 5 liter, V12 engine, rather than a carbuerated one, right...? Which means this bad boy has a removeable hard top, right...? What i don't get then, is if a boxer has a horizontally opposed engine, how can it be a V12...? Or because it's a Boxer, does being a boxer cancel out the V-shape and make it a flat 12...? Um... just wondering... | ||

Nice car, Frank. Rosso Corsa treats that shape right, I think. Like the solid color, too. Good choice. | ||

Nice car, Frank. But to be a "real" Ferrari, shouldn't the engine be at the front?  Enjoy it and have a great 2003. | ||

Looks great... I personally prefer 3/4 shots from the front, but with a car like that, any angle will do! | ||

Nice! But I would love to see a profile shot from the side too. Does it have the "boxer" paint scheme? | ||
