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. For the automobile named after this man, see Enzo Ferrari (car). ...

365 GT4 BB

The first Boxer was the 365 GT4 BB shown at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Designed to answer rival Lamborghini's Miura, it was finally released for sale in 1973 at the Paris Motor Show. Only 387 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 Daytona, the Boxer was as different as could be. It was a mid-engined car like the Dino, and the now flat-12 engine was mounted longitudinally rather than transversely.

The term, longitudinal means front-to-back or top-to-bottom as opposed to transverse which means side-to-side.

A transverse engine is an engine in which the crankshaft is oriented side-to-side relative to the wheels of the vehicle. ...

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. A V12 is an internal combustion engine with 12 cylinders in V configuration. ... F1 redirects here. ...

512 BB

The 365 was updated as the BB 512 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.
