I had the pleasure of riding in a 512BBi owned by the dad of a close friend. It was my first ride in ANY Ferrari and boy was it fun! I may love the domestic muscle-cars, but goddamn was that !2 cylinder putting out some sweet music out of that exhaust!
@mrkerpal2 - What's your problem? Why are there so many hateful people on YouTube??? I put over 18,000 miles on that Boxer during the time that I owned it. Very few people in the world can say they have put that many miles on a 512BBi.
@512BBi Amazing sound! Don't worry about those nasty comments my friend. You can't do anything about that. Besides, it's not like you can drive and record at the same time! Thank you for letting us hear this car and keep the vids coming!
What's up with these negative comments? The car is absolutely beautiful + it sounds great. And this guy obviously DRIVES his cars and they're not just for showing. And even if it would've been a Carage Queen so what?! Are you guys jealous or something? It have been HIS money,not yours and it's HIS car - not yours. He has all the rights to do with his car what ever he wants, or doesn't he? Carage queen or not,it should make any car enthusiast happy to know that these cars even exists nowadays.
@762SLR762 @762SLR762 an 180 degree engine is a horozontally opposed engine, yes? The terms "boxer" , "horozontally opposed" and "flat" are referring to the SAME thing; and engine who's pistons are opposed 180 degrees to one another. If I'm incorrect, please tell me where my logic is flawed. I'm thinking the crank is different, but the action is still the same, no? I feel like the term is interchangable personally.

probably why they call it the ferrari 512BB Boxer dont know if you noticed but most the ferraries have something about there engine in there name well ok maybe just the 360 430 and 458 italia the 360 well not to difficult 3.6 liter v8 430 4.3 liter v8 and 458 4.5 liter 8 cylinder i dont know enough about ferrari but i know thats why they named those ones so im probably guessing that this one is called a boxer because the engine configurations is probably a boxer config anyways let the debate con
180 degree V12 is not the same as a 12 cylinder boxer. each two cylinders in a V engine share a crank pin. In a boxer engine, each two opposing cylinders chave TDC or BDC at the same time. In a 180* V one has TDC while the other BDC.
So much misinformation about engines in this thread.
@identiticrisis, there is a difference between a boxer engine and an opposing piston engine. The Napier Deltec is an opposing piston engine.
@blinkyboy, the 512 engine is a 180 degree V12, not a boxer.
The difference between a 180 degree V12 and a B12 is in the crankshaft design. In a V12 (even a 180 degree) two pistons share the same crank pin, in a boxer every piston has it's own crank pin.
im glad you not like alot of ones that are intimidated by miles or maintenece,
thats what Enzo would want and if he was here hed shake your hand, in admiration, for his cars and getting them out on the road and blowing them out like thier supposed to be,
IT IS A BOXER ENGINE."Boxer" refers to the layout. We call engines "V" because the banks are in a "V" configuration. An example would be that if the banks of an Enzo's v12 were at 180 degrees it would be a boxer. This ferrari would only be a v12 if its banks were in a v configuration!!! The banks are at 180 degrees to each other, therefore it is a boxer. And Dont bother coming back at me talking like you know about cars. If you knew anything about cars you would know about engine configurations.
@blinkyboy00 A boxer engine actually has two pistons in each cylinder which move towards each other, sharing the same combustion chamber. Thus it appears as though the pistons are "boxing" each other. This is also what a horizontally opposed engine is - both have two crankshafts.
The engine in that Ferrari is technically a flat 12. Calling it a boxer engine is such a misconception that even the manufacturers do it!
A proper horizontally opposed ("boxer") engine DOES have two pistons per cylinder - google it. This is a flat 12. Ferrari calling it a boxer is a misnomer, as I've already explained.
The only thing I'd add is that some boxers only had a single crankshaft, somehow :S
Check out the engines from Napier Deltic class locomotives, they had three crankshafts and were true boxers.
get your facts str8 there is a engine witch uses 2 pisterns per cylinder using 2 crankshafts but that is not an boxer engine i do not remember the name of that engine the real boxer engine is using one crankshaft and one pisten per cylinder
@512BBi also the subaru engines are opposed engines. the bmw motorcycles as well. i am sure there are other examples. BUT id rather listen to he italian lady sing :)
@512BBi Exactly; the above mentioned design couldn't even be done. If it were done, it'd be terribly inefficient. And a boxer and a flat engine are the same thing lol. And the term "horizontally opposed" means the pistons are "horizontally opposed" to one another, meaning they face away, not towards eachother.
@512BBi You're right that there aren't two pistons in each cylinder, BUT actually there is one important difference between V-at-180 degrees engines and real boxer engines. The real boxer engine has one crank pin per piston while in the flat V-engine two pistons share the same crank pin.
Unfortunately that is not true. Read a classic encyclopedia or some Wiki and you will find out that a BOXER engine is an engine with two cylinder banks at 180 degrees!
@tanergode As I've already stated, it could be called a boxer, or flat - or whatever. The point I was trying to illustrate, is that people ought to refer to the crank design as much as the cylinder layout, just as @strandvaskeren did.
This laziness causes the overlap in meaning, and hence confusion.
Whether you take "boxer" to mean opposed-piston pairs sharing a cylinder, or force-canceling piston pairs on a common crank, this engine is neither. It's, as @strandvaskeren said, a 180° V12.
Another example: You don't call the engine in a contemporary Porsche a boxer 6, do you? It's usually known as a "flat 6", purely by habit. It is in fact of the force-canceling, "horizontally-opposed", boxer type (i.e. after Karl Benz's original design.)
This Ferrari is called a boxer, but it hasn't even got a boxer engine!
Apparently there have existed straight / (in)line engines canted on their sides, referred to as "flats", so even that term isn't "sacred"!!
@identiticrisis no, a boxer engine is the same thing as a flat engine. you are thinking of an opposed piston engine, which has only typically been used in aircraft, and locomotive engines.
@myjizzureye I'm glad you've decided to contribute. Before you came, all of this was still up in the air. Oh no, wait, strandvaskeren already settled it, with considerably more tact and actual intelligence than you could evidently ever muster.
Clearly you're the spastic, tough-guy. One last thing: learn to read and write, you shit-stain.
You post a comment on here with ya reading glasses on the end of your nose, in your smoking jacket with the leather elbow patches as if you can speak with authority on the subject.
You suggest an engine configuration that would be near impossible to fit a spark plug, let alone an inlet or exhaust valve to revealing you know nothing at all on any subject but just pull random shit out your ass and I'm the spastic?
@myjizzureye Everything I mentioned actually exists - and spark plugs aren't a necessity, either; I'll let you research that one on your own time. In summary: it's you that's pulling shit out of your arse (what Jury?) - I suggest you get more soluble fibre in your diet ;)

So stupid it hurts.
Lastly..
It would be very difficult for me if not impossible to reply to a post you had made by myself without first being able to do two things.
I dont even have to imply you're a spastic really, you do all the hard work for me.
@myjizzureye That was the original discussion. There are other posts after the one that is stickied (since the author replied) but don't show. That's why I keep saying you can't read, and why you're quoting out of context.
Like I said, read the rest of the discussion and you'll realise there's nothing left to say. You're the tit for missing the point.
Maybe I should have said: "Learn to read and write BETTER". No go troll someone else, fucktard. You're behind on your quota...
@identiticrisis My god a love it when a spastic uses the term "Thus" as if it somehow gives credence to the bullshit he just pulled out his ass. The only misconception around here is the amount of technically knowledge you think you possess vs what you actually do know. I'd call you dumb as a stick but I dont want to cast such a nasty slur on sticks intellectual integrity. It has me baffled how you even dress yourself in the morning. Jury has decided, the evidence is in, the verdict....SPASTIC!
hm, i think the most funny thing about your post is the fact, that, despite that you don't know the difference between a boxer and an 180° v12, you say that you have the best knowledge about cars and nobody should bother you coming back to you and talk to you. You say, if anybody knew anything about cars, he would know about engine configurations. Funnily, with your post you prove, that you have no ideo of engine configurations. Sadly, others don't know too and gave you 4 thumbs up
