I have always loved the Berlinetta Boxer more than the Testarossa.

Boxer sound, just blows every other engine sound :)

My word just listen to that engine

True. Most Countach spent a lot of time getting fixed and it's carburettors tuned. Although the noise of the Lamborghini V12 is unforgettable, the Boxer of the Ferrari sounds great in its own right and was proved in racing for over a decade.

@MarquisEstelle

Please. Only 39 250 GTO's were ever made and they rarely, if ever, were used on public roads by those who owned them.

Ferrari had more powerful and faster "supercars" in the 50's with the 410 Superamerica and 500 Superfast roadcars.

Calling the 365 GT4/BB "not a supercar" is absurd. It was Ferrari's answer to Lamborghini Miura, which was the first real supercar, derived from racing technology.

Oh, so a car that doesn't exceed 300km/h is "not a supercar" by definition? Fail

Those who have taste always do. The Testarossa was the epitome of 80's tastelessness (is that a word?).

The Berlinetta Boxer is one of the best looking Ferrari's (and supercars) ever made.

@MarquisEstelle A supercar isn't anything so concrete. The measure of a supercar is based on the general technology at the time of its release; when this car was released, it truly was a supercar. It outperformed most everything else in the world at the time, and as far as design, price and performance went, they were bonkers.

[MarquisEstelle]

The 365 BB was Ferrari's first mid-engine car with the 180 degree V12 inside the rear axle. But it was not a "supercar." Ferrari's first supercar was the 250 GTO. It's second was the 288GTO, third was the F40, then F50, then the Enzo. Supercars are cars that are so vastly in excess of comparable cars in performance, and exceed 186.4 miles per hour, and several other criteria that are continually argued about. But the 365 BB was not a supercar, just Ferrari's flagship. And a handmade car.

@mushroomscouser It's called a 'boxer' because the 180 degree arrangement of the pistons, with the heads off, looks like they are boxing. Strictly a design observation rather than a formal definition.

[mushroomscouser]

I am a bit confused..if it is a true 180 degree V12, how can it be a boxer? A 911 isnt a 180 degree V6 because of its firing order...it is a boxer...

[nicbarrow]

simply one of the best looking cars ever
