Ferrari introduced a new mid-engine car at the 1971 Turin Motor Show to compete with the Lamborghini Miura and the Maserati Bora supercars. It was developed from the ground up and given a low profile that was wide and clothed in gorgeous Pininfarina design and hand-built by Scaglietti. Power was from the 'boxer' twelve-cylinder engine that displaced 4.4-liters. This new model was named the 365 GT4 BB and was finally made into a production car in 1973. It was marketed as the fastest road car ever offered by Ferrari.
Over the years, Ferrari continued to improve upon the model. In 1976, they released the 551 BB, with an enlarged engine and a large improvement in torque. Three years later, in 1981, they introduced the 512 BBi at the Paris Salon. The 'i' represented the installation of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection which made it easier to comply with U.S. emissions standards. Zero-to-sixty was impressive, taking just 5.4 seconds with top speed realized at around 175 miles per hour.
This example was originally manufactured in March of 1983 and imported to the United States by Ferrari of Houston. It currently shows just 10,250 miles and is a well preserved, well maintained example. It is painted in black and rides on five-spoke alloy wheels with Michelin performance radial tires. The interior is trimmed with black leather upholstery and carpeting. There are many amenities including air conditioning, Pioneer AM/FM cassette stereo system, graphic equalizer, and speakers.
In 2009, this Jaguar XJ220 was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Arizona auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $130,000 - $160,000. The lot was sold for a high bid of $95,700 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2009
