Ultimate symbol of Italian automotive passion, the Ferrari 512 BBi embodies timeless elegance and the mechanical fire that built the legend of the Prancing Horse. Presented in its “i” variant in 1981, the 512 BBi benefits from Bosch K-Jetronic electronic injection, modernising its fabulous flat-12 engine, a synonym of nobility and performance. Thanks to this innovation, it offers the driver a subtle blend of refined power (340 hp), generous torque, and increased reliability in all conditions.
Under its low, sculpted lines by Pininfarina, the 512 BBi exudes a charismatic presence, combining rakish sportiness with exclusive refinement. A true rolling work of art, every journey aboard reveals the pure pleasure of Grand Tourisme: brisk accelerations, deep sonority and perfect balance between raw power and mechanical smoothness. This model, rare — only 1, 007 examples produced — is prized by connoisseurs for its versatility: perfectly usable for Sunday drives as well as at prestigious gatherings of exceptional vehicles.
The Ferrari 512 BBi, superbly balanced, illustrates Maranello’s savoir-faire.

A true VIP pass to a timeless automotive lifestyle, the BBi promises its new owner entry into the exclusive circle of aesthetes, for whom every outing is a private celebration of Ferrari passion.
Finally, thanks to its electronic injection, the 512 BBi delivers an unmatched driving experience, blending character with ease of use. It stands today as a pleasure investment with strong heritage potential, sought after for its beauty, rarity, and the essence of Italian Gran Turismo spirit.
