- A Ferrari 512 BB from 1977 personalized with a large melee kit goes to the auctions.
- The car is powered by a naturally suction dish with a natural suction of 4.9 liters with 340 hp.
- This 512 BB was inspired by the competition models that ran at Le Mans.
A very special Ferrari 512 BB of 1977 with a large personalized box kit will be sold next month in the United Kingdom, and is expected to sell between £ 150,000 (~ $ 194,000) and £ 170,000 (~ $ 220,000). It’s a lot of money, but it’s about 512 standard BBS that sell more than $ 250,000 in recent years, or more than € 200,000, according to the market.
What this 512 BB has for this are the changes. Of course, some purists will not like the fact that this Ferrari is no longer completely original, but it is certainly unique. It was delivered in early 1977 and later returned to the Maranello dealerships and equipped with new front and rear aluminum shutters as well as front and rear flared passages.

H&H Classics sells the car and notes that the sidelines have also been repositioned during the upgrade process and that NACA enlarged channels have been added. Maranello dealers have also installed a new transparent engine cover which puts the 12 engine trumpets in full screen. The car also turns harnesses with several points.
As with the other BB 512 models, the 4.9-liter natural suction motor engine offers an impressive 340 hp and 331 lb-ft (449 nm) of torque. These figures may not seem so impressive compared to modern standards, but the car can reach 60 MPH (96 km / h) in about 5.5 seconds, which is very respectable since it is reduced rear and has a five -speed manual transmission.
This private car is also a little rare. It is inspired by the 512 BB Compartizione models which ran at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1978. Only 101 right driving models were built for the British market, and it was barely taken, with less than 6,000 miles (9,656 km) on the clock. If this does not arouse your interest, you are probably not passionate about Ferrari.
