The 512 BBi represents the final evolution of Ferrari's groundbreaking Berlinetta Boxer series, introducing Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection to tame the wild 5.0-liter flat-12. While purists mourned the loss of 20 horsepower compared to the carbureted 512 BB, the BBi delivered superior drivability and reliability without sacrificing the intoxicating soundtrack. Pininfarina's timeless wedge design remained largely unchanged, though revised NACA ducts and subtle aero tweaks distinguished it from its predecessor. With just 1,007 examples built over three years, the BBi marked the end of an era before the Testarossa's arrival. Today's collectors appreciate its position as the most refined mid-engine Ferrari of the 1980s, combining exotic flat-12 drama with improved real-world usability.
