1978 Ferrari 512 BB

This is a photograph that I took at the Ferrari Racing Days meeting at Silverstone in September 2017. It's a 1978 Ferrari 512 BB and is the last of a line of Berlinetta Boxer cars designed by Leonardo Fioravanti that was introduced in 1973. The Berlinetta Boxer cars have a flat-12 engine designed by Giuliano de Angelis and Angelo Bellei with the original one, powering the Ferrari 365 GT4/BB, having a capacity of 4,390cc. In 1976 the flat-12 engine was increased in size to 4,943cc for the Ferrari 512 BB, and in 1981 the four triple-choke Weber carburettors were replaced with Bosch mechanical fuel injection in the BBi.
