The Best of Ferrari
512 BB
The 512 BB was a very fast car. Just made during the year 1976, this
car had a lot of speed and performance. It had a 12 cylinder engine
that gave some fierce competition to its competitors. Many of the
racing cars made during 1976 did not have a 12 cylinder engine. The 512
BB had a top speed of 302km/h. The body styling was also very nice. It
looked like a sleek racing car. Among all the Ferraris, this car was
not one of the most streamlined. The later version of this car came out
during the year 1981. It looked exactly the same, but it went a little
faster. Overall, the 512 BB was a tough racing machine.
