This is a 1981 not an 1980 Ferrari 512 BBi vin #
ZFFJA09B000038713. It's likely one of the lowest mileage and the best early injected Boxers in the world. I would
not be saying this if I did not spend a good amount of years owning and inspecting these beautiful, last of the
hand built Ferraris. Scaglieti was hired by the Ferrari factory to hand build these great mid-engined super cars of
the 70's and 80's. The panels were put onto wooden bucks and hammered to shape by very talented craftsman. No
Ferrari has gotten built this way since the Boxer went out of production in 1984.
The car being offered here is truly a time warp car! It has just 1600 miles. It's the 5th injected Boxer build.
This is an 1981 production year car. A classic color combination of Rosso Chiaro with black boxer trim. Beautiful
tan interior with the Daytona style seats and black inserts. The car was a Borgata Casino featured show car. There
is a one inch thick well organized folder on its history and origin. You will find an incredible wealth of
information like the original bill of sale, letters and telegrams from the first owner and Ferrari SPA. Certificate
of origin, copies of checks to Ferrari through Luigi Chinetti, payment certificates, importation and freight
documents, receipts from Classic Coach, Importation Tag with Pallet number and destination report and so on. The
DOT releases are part of that paper work. Classic Coach out of NJ did the DOT conversion. The car also comes with
every thing it came from the factory, including an original hard to find sales brochure. The original quartz clock
tag. These materials are in concourse condition. Please refer to the pictures of these materials. The car has had
some minor paint work over the years, but still retains most of it's original paint. The car had an engine out
service about 8 years ago so it's due for a major service. The car runs and drives absolutely incredible! Cold A/C.
It retains it's original interior, dash leather and stereo equipment all in mint condition. This car has never been
restored! It is truly a mint condition car, as it should be with having just 1600 miles. This is a museum quality
Boxer. If you ever wanted a Boxer that has not been molested or brought back to life after years of driving, this
may be the car to own. I looked at so many cars, some were excellent examples alright, but none came close to this
car's quality. Remember a car is only original once. The mid-engined flat 12 cylinder engined Ferraris are one of
my favorite Ferrari designs and is a memorable experience every time you drive one! The car must be seen in person,
as pictures do not do it justice. The mid-engined Ferraris are red hot these days. I believe Boxers have a bright
future ahead and should continue to climb in value. Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns.

You can apply to attempt to break the world record for fastest blindfolded driver [w/video]
Sat, 07 Jun 2014The Guinness-certified world record for "fastest speed for a car driven blindfolded" is 186.12 miles per hour, set by Mike Newman in a Porsche GT2 last year at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in England. Then earlier this year, Newman said he'd go for the 200 mph mark - something he might want to talk to fellow Bruntingthorpe speed demons Vmax200 about. UK firm Extreme Motorsport, which seems to have been set up solely to set blindfold driving and riding records, wants to wrest the record from Newman using a Ferrari 458 Challenge and the even longer runway at Elvington Airfield in York, England.
Strangely, it appears the terms "legally blind" and "blindfolded" equate to the same thing. The Guinness record and Extreme Sports say "blindfolded," but Newman and the man who held the record before him, Turkish pop singer Metin Sentürk, are legally blind and neither of them wore blindfolds during their record attempts.
No matter - the real point is that Extreme Motorsport is casting about for a driver to set a new record. The could-be-shady part is that Extreme is pretty vague about what's involved; they'll provide the car or the motorcycle, but you have to "choose a charity and pledge to give them all the funds you raise above the entrance fee and for any other personal expenses you may need to participate in the challenge." Extreme doesn't give any indication of how much that entrance fee might be.
Ferrari reports fewer sales, more profit to prove strategy is working
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ferrari's angle of emphasizing exclusivity by limiting deliveries is appearing to bear fruit. The company posted a 7.1-percent increase in revenues to 1.7 billion Euros ($2.2 billion at today's exchange rates) during the first half of 2013. Net profits, meanwhile, saw a jump of 20 percent to 116.2 million Euros ($153.5 million). The Prancing Horse delivered 3,767 cars, which, while an increase of 2.8 percent, represents a rate of growth that's slower than in the first quarter of 2013.
While Ferrari may be actively trying to slow its sales down to below 7,000 in 2013, it's seen increased numbers in the US, Great Britain and Germany, along with double-digit growth in the Middle East and Japan (39 percent and 28 percent, respectively).
The move to limit sales should have a greater impact on the numbers that come in later this year, which we told you about back in May. Ferrari's controversial move has already seen a drop in sales to China, which saw 50 fewer Prancing Horses than this time last year.
The Ferrari FF is now the GTC4 Lusso
Mon, Feb 8 2016As groundbreaking as it might have been when it debuted in 2011, the FF was never the best-looking Ferrari in the fleet. And at five years old, it's now the oldest as well. But Maranello is out to correct that with the new model you see here. Dubbed the GTC4 Lusso, the updated version of the FF is not only better-looking than the model it replaces, but packs some innovations under its slightly sharper coachwork as well. It debuts next month at the Geneva Motor Show. The 6.3-liter V12 carries over in naturally aspirated guise, but now produces 680 hp and 514 lb-ft. That's a marked improvement over the existing ratings of 651 horsepower and 504 pound-feet of torque. It still stops short of threatening the more focused F12 Berlinetta with its 730 hp and 509 lb-ft. The muscle still meets the road through the only all-wheel drive system that Ferrari has ever made, but now integrates four-wheel steering as well, like we saw on the F12 TdF. The 4RM-S system works in tandem with Slip Side Control 4.0, integrating the electronic differential and adaptive dampers to keep this horse prancing on no matter the conditions. No mention was made of the transmission, but we're likely dealing with the same seven-speed DCT as its predecessor. Regardless, the sum total is a 0-62 time quoted at 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 208 miles per hour. The revised mechanical bits, as you can see, are wrapped in new sheetmetal. It all looks tauter, more sculpted, and more aggressive than some of the rounded forms of the FF, and the interior has been updated as well. The key change is at the back of the greenhouse. Often derided as somewhat awkward and ungainly, the fastback roofline is lowered with the kink at the back of the side glass flipped, a spoiler added at the trailing edge of the roof, and the twin taillights replaced by four. THE FERRARI GTC4LUSSO DEBUTS AT THE GENEVA SHOW - The Ferrari GTC4Lusso debuts at the Geneva Show: class-leading performance, versatility in all driving conditions, sublime elegance. - A unique car, a whole new world Maranello, 8 February 2016 – Ferrari announces the addition to its range of the Ferrari GTC4Lusso, the new four-seater which hails a major evolution of the sporting Grand Tourer concept by integrating rear-wheel steering with four-wheel drive for the first time.
