Vehicle Description
Motorcar Classics is proud to present this stunning 1983 Ferrari
512BBi featured in Rossa Corsa (Red) with Black Boxer trim and
Black leather interior. Ferrari introduced their 512 BBi at the
Frankfurt Salon with only minor cosmetic and mechanical changes
made to the existing BB form, mostly exposed driving lights in the
front and the addition of rectangular parking lights next to the
exhaust at the rear. The largest change was replacement of the
carburetors with a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection system. The
fuel-injection system gave the 512 BBi an additional 20 foot-pounds
of additional torque over its carbureted sibling. In this guise,
zero-to-sixty too just 5.4 seconds and top speed was achieved at
174 mph. Production of the 512 BBi continued until 1984, with 1,007
examples produced before it was replaced by Ferrari's next
mid-engined, flat 12-cylinder model, the Testarossa.Our Ferrari 512
BBi was imported from Europe and delivered to New England. From
there it was sold to New York. The car is in pristine original
condition, and its odometer shows just under 24,752 kilometers
(about 15,800 miles) from new. We have not seen a better example.
