Coupe Chassis Num: ZFFJA09B000047747   Sold for $93,500 at 2009 RM Auctions. The mid-engine, introduced at the 1971 Turin Motor Show, had the difficult task of competing with the Lamborghini Miura and the Maserati Bora supercars. It was a completely new car from the group up, including its new Pininfarina design which was hand-built by the craftsmen at Scaglietti. In keeping with Ferrari's Formula 1 race cars, the car was powered by a mid-mounted 'Boxer' twelve-cylinder engine. It was named the 365 GT4 BB and evolved into the 512 BB. In 1981, Ferrari introduced the 512 BBi at the Paris Salon. The 'i' reflected the new Bosh K-Jetronic fuel injection system, which aided in comply with U.S. emissions standards while maintaining performance. The 512 BBi could race from zero-to-sixty in a mere 5.4 seconds and reach a top speed of around 175 miles per hour. This example is one of just an estimated 1,000 examples produced between 1981 and 1984. The odometer currently reads just 18,900 miles and it is finished in black and rides on the original Cromodora five-spoke alloy wheels with wide Michelin performance radial tires. The interior is tan leather with brown carpeting. There is air conditioning, a Pioneer AM/FM cassette stereo system, graphic equalizer/booster and speakers. In 2009, this Ferrari 512 BBi Coupe was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island Auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $100,000-$120,000. The lot was sold for a high bid of $93,500, including buyer's premium. By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2010
