Introduced to the public at the 1981 Frankfurt Motorshow, Ferrari’s new 512 BBi offered the advanced and reliable Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection system for the first time in a 12-cylinder Ferrari. A handful of cosmetic upgrades accompanied the new model. Exposed driving lights were added at the front, and rectangular parking lights were fitted adjacent to the exhausts at the rear.

For the Ferrari faithful, the addition of the fuel injection was a welcome change, and the 512 BBi is generally considered to be the most livable of Ferrari’s Berlinetta Boxer models. The change from carburetors to fuel injection brought about an increase of 20 foot-pounds of torque, helping the engine to feel much more tractable overall. Performance remained extraordinary. In 1984 production came to an end and the 512 BBi was replaced with the Testarossa, Ferrari had built just 1,007 examples.

This well maintained example in a rare outstanding color combination was delivered new 06.06.1982 to Pozzi Charles SA in France and came from there to Germany (Augsburg Region) on 15.07.1986. From there the car came to Italy in 2002. The owner kept the car until 2004. The next and last owner kept the car from 2004 until 2013.

In 2006 the color of the car was changed into the color rosso corsa. In 2007 the car took part in the Ferrari 60 Years jubilee in Maranello (#43). 2007 motor revision. 2014 new clutch.

Recently the car was repainted in its original color Argento 101/c and has received a full service including new belts. The 512 BBi has now around 42.000 km and in this color combination it can be seen as a very good investment.
