Berlinetta Boxer is the name for a series of cars produced by Ferrari in
Italy between 1973 and 1984. They used a mid-mounted flat-12 engine,
replacing the FR Daytona, and succeeded in the Ferrari stable by the
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
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 P and LM racing cars, but the Daytona
was launched with its engine in front. It was not until 1971 that a
mid-engined 12-cylinder road car would appear.
On the other hand, the Ferrari 400 and 412 models are lesser-known
front-engined 2+2 coupes. Their design is derived from the 365 GT4 2+2
version of the famous Daytona. Production began in 1976, with the improved
412 introduced in 1985 and phased out in 1989.
The 400 was improved for 1985 with an increase in displacement (to 4943 cc)
and a restoration of the original car's 340 hp. ABS was offered for the
first time on a Ferrari, and the automatic transmission was retained.
Production was stopped in 1989 with only the mid-engined Mondial offering
2+2 seating. The classic front-engine layout returned in 1992 with the 456.
