This is so cool - I just happened upon this video and couldnt believe its interviewee - I used to hang out in this guys neighborhood for years on the Forest River in Savannah sometimes catching a quick glimpse of one of the incredible Ferraris that would speed by past my friends house and on down to the secluded private property where this family lived. Great lil movie and wonderful story about a mutual love for these incredible machines...God, I miss Savannah and Back Street and the Forest River...paradise.
In my opinion the Berlinetta Boxer is the most beautiful Ferrari ever. (I was a teenager in the early to mid eighties)
And in black it still looks otherworldly nearly 40 years on. Bellissimo!!
Well done guys. Another beautiful film.
I always loved these. Great video. I subscribed.
beautiful
Great post mate! Forget about the folks muttering about the engine layout! The Ferrari 512 is an awesome car to own. Well done for you owning it and appreciating driving such a great machine!
beautiful, beautiful machine.
Lovely video thanks for sharing
Well done video, and great collection (not just Italy, or just MOPAR, or...). Sorry about loss of your Dad, but what a great legacy. THANKS for sharing. (Extra points for showing a Ferrari that isn't red)
Very nice.
I too am an owner. it is a 180 degree v-12 and not to be confused with a proper flat 12.
I get that the firing order is different than most “flat” engines, but BOXER is even in the damn name. 180° isn’t a V, it’s a flat line.
You're dad had very good taste.
I loved the Ferrari but really loved the look of the dark red 911. I wish he would do a segment on that.
Ferrari 512 BBI ist ein super Auto
Jay,the engine is a boxer, an opposed configuration, not a vee, Thus it is not a V12 --that is why it is a BB, a Berlinetta BOXER, You of all people should know better. I knew your Dad and imported the BB 512s, maybe the very one you are driving..
He talks about the smell of the "Italian leather." Well, the leather is English from Connolly. Of course, he also seems to believe his car has a V12, which is also incorrect.
pezzonovante888 wikipedia says it has a V12?
neuroleptika
Hmm, it actually does say F-12 or Flat Twelve ie. "Boxer 12", hence the acronym "BB" (Berlinetta Boxer). Maybe check again :)
pezzonovante888
yeah I saw that on the english wikipedia article, the swedish said V12 but I guess thats wrong
neuroleptika yes, it's a boxer ;)
+pezzonovante888 Well for a true italian style Ferrari weren't honest either. It's a very wide 180 degree V12 aka. flat 12 that shares the crankpins for two pistons and ain't a true boxer engine.
what's the music ? good piano !
Really, the 512bb is a boxer 12. Not v12. Maybe you should peak under the hood sometimes, while waxing the car ;D %12bb stands for: five liter 12cylinder berlinetta boxer.
That looks like South Carolina.
Actually the car is not a true boxer , its in essence a flattened v12 . Wonderful engine non the less.
He sounds like a guy I met at a local cars and coffee with a new Ferrari. I asked him how many cylinders under the hood, he said he didn't know, he just picked it up from the dealer yesterday...
I think part of the fun with old Ferraris are maintenance and spare parts...
This guy was blessed to have such a cool father who had impeccable taste in cars. Yea, the 512BBI was one helluva looker. Too bad it didn't exceed the popularity of the 308 series. I guess Magnum PI took the accolades and ran with that model which bestowed a limited image of Ferrari to the public. But the 512BBI would see itself as passé once the 288 GTO hit the market in 84' and 85', which was a better and faster car than the 512. Then, unfortunately, one of the ugliest Ferraris had to rear it's head, the Testarozza. That body design was not Pinnanfrina's best. They should have kept the 512BBI body style with that newer and improved motor.
Disagree with you. The testarossa looks awesome, dramatic and unmistakeable that you wouldn't get all the previous stupid comments of "pity this guy doesn't know he hasn't got a v12"... They'd probably instead comment "pity this guy doesn't know he has a Pontiac Fiero"..
Likes them so much. He got Bb i. Not a carb boxer. Doh.
That is one sexy car.....
What does he think about the new F12?
Beautiful video! (*cough!* flat 12 *cough!*)
A V 12 ? an 180 degree V , I suppose.....;o)
Exactly. Berlinetta Boxers aren't true boxers like porsches, for example, but 180º V engines ;)
Everybody talking about v12. It is a 180° v12, so the owner is right! Please don't say this again...
"There the only cars I know anything about". Then why don't you
know what kind of engine it has in it?
EXACTLY! its a "flat" twelve, not a " V " twelve, hence the name boxxer, because the pistons are comming at each other at 180 degrees, just like two boxxers swapping punches.
quote from wikipedia "Flat-12 engines are generally not true horizontally opposed engines (boxer), but rather 180° V-engines. A true boxer has one crank pin per piston, while in the 180° V-engine, two opposing pistons share the same crank pin."
2:58 : Replica
V12 he says... more like a boxer 12.
Too bad this guy doesn't realize his car isn't a V12.
+PCar 993TT Oh come on, don't be such a nitpicker. Does it matter that this is an 180 degree 12 cylinder versus 60 or whatever?
It's technically a 180 degree V12, a boxer would have a different crankshaft setup (in a V, two pistons share a crank, while in a boxer each one has its own - Ferrari is the former). Know your shit.
You are 100% correct, sir. Thank you for saving my having to spell that out.
As part of my goal list, I'm working towards either a Testarossa single-mirror or 512BBi. Once I have it, I'm going to make a video like this, and intentionally state the wrong specs, just to tweak the "know yer crap" commenters. :) lol
Know your shit!😄 BB. What does the 2nd B mean?
Uh...BB stands for Berlinetta Boxer. In other words, it has a horizontally opposed engine configuration. Like a Porsche 911, or a VW Beetle, or a Subaru Legacy or a Panhard Dyna Z, or a Chevrolet Corvair or a whole pile of motorcycles and small airplanes. What makes it a boxer is the firing order.
The repetition of the term V12 by somebody who is simultaneously claiming to be an expert in this video almost made me leave before halfway, however the sweet sound of FLAT 12 made me stay. V12s sound totally and completely different.
shhh he sells cocaine, he's not an automotive journalist.
300 cars? So what happened to the other 296??
violian5 Found this: Javetz was a race car driver and an avid car collector (at our count dozens of
Ferraris!) and was active in the Ferrari Club of America in the 1970s.
I'm guessin he was a frequent trader.
He’s supposed to be an expert, but He keeps saying “V12”. It’s a flat 12.
Lol. A garage full of red cars...except the Ferrari!
v12?? thats why they called it 512 Berlinetta BOXER. embarrassing
Nothing bugs me more than guys who don't know shit about their cars. Flat 12 not a V12.
