They used a MR layout flat-12 engine, replacing the FR layout Ferrari Daytona, and succeeded in the Ferrari stable by the Ferrari Testarossa.

Production of the BB was a major step for Enzo Ferrari. He felt that a mid-engined road car would be too difficult for his buyers to handle, and it took many years for his engineers to convince him to adopt the layout. This attitude began to change as the marque lost its racing dominance in the late 1950s to mid-engined competitors. The mid-engined 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder Ferrari Dino racing cars was the result, and Ferrari later allowed for the production Dino road cars to use the layout as well. The company also moved its V12 engines to the rear with its Ferrari P, but the Ferrari Daytona was launched with its engine in front. It was not until 1971 that a mid-engined 12-cylinder road car would appear.

==365 GT4 BB==The first Boxer was the 365 GT4 BB shown at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Designed to answer rival Lamborghini's Lamborghini Miura, it was finally released for sale in 1973 at the Paris Motor Show. Only 386 were built, including just 58 with right hand drive. This was the rarest and fastest of all Berlinetta Boxers.

Though it shared its numerical designation with the Ferrari Daytona, the Boxer was as different as could be. It was a MR layout car like the Ferrari Dino, and the now flat-12 engine was mounted longitudinally rather than transverse enginely.

The engine shared its internal dimensions with the V12 from the Daytona, but was spread out to 180° as on Ferrari's 1970 Formula One car. It produced 344 hp @ 7200 rpm (7700 rpm redline), 302 ft·lbf of torque @ 3900 rpm, and was mounted above a five-speed manual transmission. One major difference in this engine was its use of timing belts rather than chains.

The Pininfarina body was an angular wedge with popup headlights and remains quite modern looking. 387 examples were built.

Test performance: Weight (kerb with 120 l fuel) 3417 lb, acceleration 0-100 km/h 5.6s, 100-200 km/h 12.8s, top speed .

.

512BB The 365 was updated as the 512BB in 1976, resuming the name of the earlier Ferrari 512 racer. The engine was larger at 4942 cc, but peak horsepower was off slightly to 340 hp @ 6200 rpm (redline 7000 rpm). Torque was up to 46 kgf·m (451 N·m) from 44 kgf·m (432 N·m) @ 4600 rpm, largely as a result of larger displacement and a longer stroke. Dry sump lubrication was used for a lower center of gravity. External differentiators included a new front spoiler, wider rear tires, added NACA side air vents ducting air to the brakes, and four tail lights (rather than six). 929 512BBs were produced.

512BBi The Robert Bosch GmbH K-Jetronic fuel injection 512BBi introduced in 1981 was the last of the series. The fuel injected motor produced cleaner emissions and 340 hp at 6000 rpm and 333 ft·lbf of torque @ 4200 rpm. External differentiators from the 512BB besides badging include a change to metric sized wheels and the Michelin TRX metric tire system, small white running lights in the nose, and red rear fog lamps outboard of the exhaust pipes in the rear valence. 1,007 512BBi models were produced.

Measured performance: 0-100 km/h 5.9s, 100-200 km/h 14.8s, Vmax 288 km/h.
