wow... its almost amazing how much better these cars sound uncorked :) Probably a dumb question but does that car have Webbers on it or is it injected ?
Webbers make a beautiful noise that is second to none imho.
OMG the comments! Every hobby has the know-it-alls, but car collecting is the worst. I had a guy at a show INSISTING my 1968 Charger was a 1970. Doesn't matter I have had it 30 years. Or how you should NEVER use a multi-weight oil. Or how you should NEVER use a straight grade oil. Or how I was going to wreck my AMX engine if I didn't run it on avgas or use a REAL (illegal) lead additive. Everyone's an expert, especially if they have nothing in their garage to speak of!
It´s amazing to think that this beauty has almost 30 years. Congratulations for the owner. It´s a classic sport car, and nothing sound better than a Ferrari V-12.
Is this an untouched version of the engine or has something changed (forged pistons, carbs, H rods, heads porting)? Thanks in advance and congrats for the beast :-)
The 512BB is one of the best looking Ferrari's ever. With the one of the all time greatest Ferrari engines, the boxer 12. It proved itself in many forms of racing.
Why use V8's when you can make turbodiesel straight 4's produce a good amount of horsepower and impressive amounts of torque, and using almost no diesel fuel at all in the process? Check out Audi's 2,0litre turbodiesel 4 and BMW's.
The reason some manafacturers stick with V8's is because they are cheaper to manafacture and design. However,the Rolls Royce Merlin V12, the Daimler-Benz V12 603 and others are some of the finest engines ever made, and it's the optimal configuration
Again you use "larger block V8's" but are seemingly ignorant to the fact that Ferrari and many other sportscar manafacturers raced their cars in racing series with a maximum amount of displacement, so you can forget all about "larger block". V12's can rev higher, but in Formula 1 they discovered that a V10 could produce almost as much power but with smaller radiators (a little more vibration is the downside) so it became the ideal configuration until V10's were banned from2006
Sorry but there's no way a V8 can ever produce as much power as a V10 or V12 from the same displacement. In Formula 1 and in Sportscar racing they rapidly discovered this. You see a 12 cylinder engine ignites every 30 degrees of a full 360 degree revolution of the crank in theory, whereas an 8 cylinder only does it every 45 degrees.
Here's another thing. V12's can be perfectly balanced to become virtually vibration free, whereas a V8 can not. WW2 fighters used this engine.
@McLarenMercedes Top fuel Dragster:V8 5000-8000hp.. US Pro stock engine builders believe the upper limit for power in N/A engines is 250hp per cylinder.Theoretically more cylinders equals more horsepower. In the real world relatively cheap US V8s make more power than the high revving 10s and 12s. Current pro stock engines are making over 1200hp (still using valve springs) whereas F1 during the V10 years were making around 875-925hp.
@McLarenMercedes Also drop the balance stuff.No first-order imbalance due to full weight couterweights.No second-order imbalance on a crossplane (90*) crank V8 which the vast majority of US V8s are. In the real world when dealing with engines that have already been vetted like we are the order of imbalance isn't very important at all. Do you even know what I'm talking about means without looking it up? If you did I don't think you'd just call it "balanced"....
@McLarenMercedes Also the majority of US V8 have a firing event every 90* and most V12 at 60*... 4stroke engines rotate 720* per cycle....Do you even know anything about engines?
@512BBi When the Enzo first came out, you could not buy it unless you had owned an F40 and an F50. That is true. Ferrari has to select you to be eligible to purchase the car.
@herbienbrian2 that's true for "special" models (one-off, limited production...) such as the Enzo, which was sold only to customers who had bought at least 5 ferraris; also, they were asked to buy one directly by Ferrari (usually happens the opposite...)
@herbienbrian2 I know why youve heard of that though, with their special models (the enzo, f50, f40 among others) you need to own another ferrari, not sure if it needs to be one of their exclusive models or just any ferrari. or so ive heard, i could be wrong i guess.
@herbienbrian2 There actually is some truth to that. Not just anybody can buy a new model Ferrari. You do have to start with lesser and older models to establish a relationship with a Ferrari dealer. I know this because I read about it in a car magazine.
@herbienbrian2 When the Enzo (and FXX) was being sold new, you had to have owned at least 1 other Ferrari before/during the purchase of your Enzo from Ferrari. You also had to take hours of high performance driving classes before you could take the Enzo home.
Other than that, you can buy any Ferrari. Even as a first car, as long as you've got the cash.
Nothing beats the sound of that flat twelve Boxer, EXCEPT,,,maybe the 71 512 S & M, & 312PB sport's Car;s, & early 70 F-1's nothing beat's a BB for street. NOTHING!!!!!!!!! Id just drive it around the street's revving it some in the gear's to hear that engine climb, and drop in rev's, the steering wheel' and the shifter,and the seat's,,,, classic Ferrari. I have the osprey auto history on the Boxer, Ive got 22 Ferrari book's, all are good. I see all the BB's on you tube too,
I'm a green-horn mechanic down at Foreign Cars Italia (Ferrari/Aston Martin/Maserati/Porsche dealership), and I can tell you've OBVIOUSLY have never had to work on an exotic.. Very powerful and top-of-the-line engineering, but with all of the high-tech goodies comes a VERY temperamental engine... If you knew how much it cost to rebuild the engine on a Ferrari, I bet you'd go that extra mile to make it run that much better and pamper it more than any other car you've owned.
No, I've yet to see a 512 roll into the garage...Most of the time I just assist in repairing 348s, 355s and a few 599s I'm a "green-horn" mechanic, only been working at Ferrari Cars Italia for about 14 moths.... I started about a year ago. I've changed the oil in my '76 308 GT4 though..
@Sarcasticscum - Why don't you talk to the head mechanic there and ask him if he thinks it's necessary to change out 4-gallons of oil and the TWO filters on a 512BBi -EVERY SIX MONTHS-, if the car is kept in a heated garage and driven on a regular basis, apx. 3,000 miles per year.
@PITBULL35383 - The 512BBi has TWO large oil filters and a 4-GALLON (16 quart) dry sump system. For normal street driving, there is NO NEED to change out all of that oil and two filters every six months. I put apx 3-5K miles per year on my Ferraris.
Once a year change is perfectly fine. If I was on the race track all the time, then it would be a different story.
@lemmelime - Please let me know when the show is and I'll try to bring my latest Ferrari, which is a 550 Maranello. I sold the 512BBi in 2008 to a collector in Kentucky. A friend of mine just bought my old car and it will be returning to the NW in January!!
@Chevelletastic ferrari is about being exotic and weird.. they do these engines so that rich little ball licking stock brokers and highly paid professionals can drive these around and brag to other people about the oddness an exoticness of the engine.
@ilshwak right, I'm sure ferrari considered cheapness into their construction, such considering the amount of money they charge for their cars.. just shows you that people that buy these cars get screwed. I would settle for none of any cheapness if buying a ferrari. You'd think they would make the engine wide like f1 cylinders to get more horsepower out of RPMS
@SeeProfileForDetails ferrari makes cheap engines like everyone else but the kicker is they charge you out the ass for them, bi-monthly oil change for the average ferrari is over $1000, replacement parts are usually had made and not in stock so a simple piston head could cost you as much as $1500 a new engine could cost you more than a new camaro SS SLP 585
@denvera1g1 people hear cars with their eyes. Put a blind fold on and have this car drive by, people will think differently if they don't actually see the car. Some might think it is simply a CRX with a blind fold on. lol
@SeeProfileForDetails exactly what i meant my 1993 cadillac 301CI sounds better, this just sounds like my neighbors subaru boxer with a blown exhaust manifold seal
@denvera1g1 -No doubt,today we can get similar performance at half the money or less with uncomparably lower mantainance expense.This trend rules in nearly any kind of stuff all in all:cars,fashion,even food....As a further sample Bmw offers a 530diesel with an over 280 bhp engine and limited top speed at 250 Kmh, which sounds offensive to several sport cars' owners! The basic difference is not in how fast you run,or how warm is your blazer :it's a matter of style.overall.
@denvera1g1 - I just noticed your post and had to respond. You don't know what you are talking about.
Bi-monthly oil changes at $1K each??? What a stupid thing to say. I change the oil in my cars myself about once a year, just like a regular street car.
@512BBi please please tell me you only drive 3-6k miles a year because if you drive any more than that it doesnt matter what kind of oil you use you are destroying your engine, doesn't matter what car you have 3k miles is when you should change your oil, and i said bi-weekly because the average person drives alot more than 3k miles a year, and i know someone with a relatively new f430 (2007) who had to pay $1700 for an oil change and filter change at the ferrari dealer
@denvera1g1 - NO- that is not true. OIl changes have nothing to do with how much I drive my cars. I currently own 3 cars and I can't drive them all at the same time, so my driving time/mileage gets split up between them. If a person has to worry about putting too many miles on a car because of an expensive oil change, they shouldn't own the car in the first place.
An F430 does NOT NEED the oil changed ever 3K miles. That is total BS, I have a 550 Maranello and change the oil once a year.
@512BBi the reason you should change your oil + filter is not because the oil breaks down or goes bad, its because of unburned fuel contaminating the oil as well as small amounts of metal "shavings" because of parts touching, generally tighter fitting engines require oil changes more often like ferrari because of the hand made parts, most modern cars should have their oil + filter changed every 3k-10k miles if you change your oil less often then that you will start to notice why at 150k and on
@512BBi most modern cars with modern oil, synthetic or filtered crude, require an oil change every 6k or less to have a long lasting engine with the least amount of power loss, i have a 93 cadillac 301 V8 and it hasnt lost any power its 0-60 time is .26 seconds slower than factory even with 95k miles and weighing 300lbs more, my EX on the other hand had a 98 lumina and was told by her mom that she only needed to change her oil ever 15k her time was 2+ seconds off
@denvera1g1 - Please don't bother to lecture me about oil changes for Ferraris. I've probably put more miles on Ferraris, than you have ever driven in your entire life.
@denvera1g1 - The person who told you that is a idiot. I've owned four different Ferraris and the oil change is once a year. Read the research, cars do NOT need the oil changed every 3K miles, especially if you are using synthetic oil.
@MarquisEstelle yes thats why you get more horsepower/torque for the space and thats also why maintenance generally costs more, another unrelated point, when ferrari offers a press car to a magazine or the like you have to give them advanced notice of what track you are using so they can "prepare" it for the track, generally their press cars are 2 seconds faster to 100 than the sales car, in my opinion ferraris are great cars but this practice makes the brand seem untrust worthy
@CameronWoodward107 - The car is actual painted a bright Ferrari rossa corsa RED, but the lighting in the garage at night for the video made the car look kind of pink.
Ive done more research, and it seems that this boxer engine actually came with this 512 Ferrari, I always thought it was a V12, So I retract my previous statement, If its a Ferrari produced Boxer, then its just as great as the V8 and V12 Ferrari Produces.
@512BBi Ok, that makes sense. is this ur Ferrari? If so, how much did u pay for it? if u dont mind my asking. Cause I wouldnt mind owning me one, one day.
@lotusboy24 - I owned that car for five years, sold it in 2008 and bought a 550 Maranello. The market is way down right now, so you can find a pretty nice Boxer for around $100K.
@lopez20111 .. That 5L boxer engine was turbo charged in 1990 and held together at over 1100 HP with stock block & trans and also ran in LeMans as the BBLM years before .. The street version is far under tuned and US models were all detuned..I dont know the BBLM hp..
@512BBi you just wana hear me say how lucky u are to own a 512. well im not gona say it. but ur a git for having one and i want one :). I remember seeing a 512 in one of my dads old car mags when i was a kid, i hated reading so i got it mixed up with the 328 and the magnum p.i. car.
It was a coupé and seemed more robust at the rear (just as i like my women).
Im not to fond of Ferrari as a company, (did u see what they gave the pope ! for free! what about me?!!) Great cars though.
oh four? that is so much better than one so this means it has mauch much much more horse power :O and that means it must be the bestest and fastest supercar the world has ever seen :O :O :O x9
@Henzzman sounds nothing like a v8 of any kind, big block, small block, short block, long block it sounds NOTHING like any of these that is because it is a tiny little 5.0 boxer 12 as far as displacement per cylinder this IS a honda civic so it sounds more like 3 civics side by side with open headers, but it still not the same because they are v4s and v6s so its mostly like 3 subaru's with open headers
@McLarenMercedes dodge neon v4, mazda 626, ok guessing you are a merc fan so here learn some facts about merc, currently on sale the 2011 Mercedes E class E200, E220 E250, and in the CLS class we have the CLS250, ALL vehicles in the B and C class are 4 cylinders(europe), as fuel costs go up more cars are made with lower displacement engines ya troll
@McLarenMercedes by the way jeep has been using the same 4 cyl from back in the 80s when jeep was owned by amc, i got a question for you sense you seem know so much about cars and engines what is the difference between an engine and a motor and dont just paste your answer from a wiki
This ranks up there with the best of them in terms of looks. My top 5 in terms of style would be the F355, F-40, 288 GTO, 512BB and the 250 GTO.

The way they are built. V10, V12 aren't cheap to make so are made with lighter materials and and smaller and longer.

@ilshwak right, I'm sure ferrari considered cheapness into their construction, such considering the amount of money they charge for their cars.. just shows you that people that buy these cars get screwed. I would settle for none of any cheapness if buying a ferrari. You'd think they would make the engine wide like f1 cylinders to get more horsepower out of RPMS
SeeProfileForDetails 1 year ago
@SeeProfileForDetails ferrari makes cheap engines like everyone else but the kicker is they charge you out the ass for them, bi-monthly oil change for the average ferrari is over $1000, replacement parts are usually had made and not in stock so a simple piston head could cost you as much as $1500 a new engine could cost you more than a new camaro SS SLP 585

@denvera1g1 people hear cars with their eyes. Put a blind fold on and have this car drive by, people will think differently if they don't actually see the car. Some might think it is simply a CRX with a blind fold on. lol

@denvera1g1 -No doubt,today we can get similar performance at half the money or less with uncomparably lower mantainance expense.This trend rules in nearly any kind of stuff all in all:cars,fashion,even food....As a further sample Bmw offers a 530diesel with an over 280 bhp engine and limited top speed at 250 Kmh, which sounds offensive to several sport cars' owners! The basic difference is not in how fast you run,or how warm is your blazer :it's a matter of style.overall.

@denvera1g1 - I just noticed your post and had to respond. You don't know what you are talking about.
Bi-monthly oil changes at $1K each??? What a stupid thing to say. I change the oil in my cars myself about once a year, just like a regular street car.
512BBi 1 year ago
@512BBi please please tell me you only drive 3-6k miles a year because if you drive any more than that it doesnt matter what kind of oil you use you are destroying your engine, doesn't matter what car you have 3k miles is when you should change your oil, and i said bi-weekly because the average person drives alot more than 3k miles a year, and i know someone with a relatively new f430 (2007) who had to pay $1700 for an oil change and filter change at the ferrari dealer
denvera1g1 1 year ago
@denvera1g1 - NO- that is not true. OIl changes have nothing to do with how much I drive my cars. I currently own 3 cars and I can't drive them all at the same time, so my driving time/mileage gets split up between them. If a person has to worry about putting too many miles on a car because of an expensive oil change, they shouldn't own the car in the first place.
An F430 does NOT NEED the oil changed ever 3K miles. That is total BS, I have a 550 Maranello and change the oil once a year.
512BBi 1 year ago
@512BBi the reason you should change your oil + filter is not because the oil breaks down or goes bad, its because of unburned fuel contaminating the oil as well as small amounts of metal "shavings" because of parts touching, generally tighter fitting engines require oil changes more often like ferrari because of the hand made parts, most modern cars should have their oil + filter changed every 3k-10k miles if you change your oil less often then that you will start to notice why at 150k and on
denvera1g1 1 year ago
@512BBi most modern cars with modern oil, synthetic or filtered crude, require an oil change every 6k or less to have a long lasting engine with the least amount of power loss, i have a 93 cadillac 301 V8 and it hasnt lost any power its 0-60 time is .26 seconds slower than factory even with 95k miles and weighing 300lbs more, my EX on the other hand had a 98 lumina and was told by her mom that she only needed to change her oil ever 15k her time was 2+ seconds off
denvera1g1 1 year ago
@512BBi "Topping off" is OK on most new cars as long as you change the filter and add extra detergents every time

@denvera1g1 - Please don't bother to lecture me about oil changes for Ferraris. I've probably put more miles on Ferraris, than you have ever driven in your entire life.
512BBi 1 year ago 21
And he told me that he is supposed to change his oil every 1500 to 2000 miles
denvera1g1 1 year ago
@denvera1g1 - The person who told you that is a idiot. I've owned four different Ferraris and the oil change is once a year. Read the research, cars do NOT need the oil changed every 3K miles, especially if you are using synthetic oil.
512BBi 1 year ago
@512BBi and I'm sorry but i actually meant every two months not twice a month for oil changes

@denvera1g1 Ferrari's engines are engineered and assembled to much higher standards than American cars, they are substantially different.
MarquisEstelle 1 year ago
@MarquisEstelle yes thats why you get more horsepower/torque for the space and thats also why maintenance generally costs more, another unrelated point, when ferrari offers a press car to a magazine or the like you have to give them advanced notice of what track you are using so they can "prepare" it for the track, generally their press cars are 2 seconds faster to 100 than the sales car, in my opinion ferraris are great cars but this practice makes the brand seem untrust worthy

Total Hairy chested animalistic angry growling sound that only a FLAT 12 CAN MAKE!!!!!

Ive done more research, and it seems that this boxer engine actually came with this 512 Ferrari, I always thought it was a V12, So I retract my previous statement, If its a Ferrari produced Boxer, then its just as great as the V8 and V12 Ferrari Produces.

@lotusboy24 - technically speaking, the Ferrari Boxer engine is a 180-degree V12.

lotusboy24 1 year ago
@lotusboy24 - I owned that car for five years, sold it in 2008 and bought a 550 Maranello. The market is way down right now, so you can find a pretty nice Boxer for around $100K.

It was a coupé and seemed more robust at the rear (just as i like my women).
Im not to fond of Ferrari as a company, (did u see what they gave the pope ! for free! what about me?!!) Great cars though.

@Henzzman sounds nothing like a v8 of any kind, big block, small block, short block, long block it sounds NOTHING like any of these that is because it is a tiny little 5.0 boxer 12 as far as displacement per cylinder this IS a honda civic so it sounds more like 3 civics side by side with open headers, but it still not the same because they are v4s and v6s so its mostly like 3 subaru's with open headers
