Yes, the 512 BB is one of Ferraris finest cars that uses the flat, 12 cylinder, 5 liter powerplant that is well-known for it's horsepower and incredible torque.
(The Testarossa powerplant is very similar to that of the BB, almost the same).
Of course the body of the BB is exquisite in design and execution and was built to house the massive boxer engine that is located just behind the driver/passenger firewall.
A friend of mine named Larry O'Rourke owns a beautiful example and regularly wins concourse events with his flawless red 512 Berlinetta Boxer.
It's' one of the most alluring Ferraris and lives up to it's reputation well.

thanks Chris, one of these days soon i am going to drive my early 930 to the Mullholland area id like you to drive it for me down Mull to get your impressions as well as any tips you may have to improve its performance and handling maybe at a group meet there for show, its a blast at 400 plus hp in a light early 3.0 homologation special. It would be a special treat for me i remember that article as a kid about you guys in the 70s tearing it up i was so jealous then, good times!
