Photo Gallery «Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer - the first mid-engined Gran Turismo from Ferrari»
This was the car to beat in the car quartet! The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer was the most expensive and, at least according to official factory specifications, the fastest sports car of its time. It also had more cylinders (or at least the same number of cylinders) than the others and accelerated exceptionally fast. Victory in the quartet competition was (almost) certain. From 1973 to 1984, a good 2,300 BBs were produced, a great success for Enzo Ferrari. During this time, the car was continuously developed further, the engine was enlarged and the last edition was equipped with fuel injection.
