Items related to Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer: The Road and Race Legends
Think of all the great sports cars, and one name that inevitably comes to mind is Ferrari. For nearly 60 years, Ferrari have been building cars that impress not only by their performance but also by their stunning appearance.
The Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer, or BB as it is more commonly known, was a tremendously significant car in the Ferrari lineage, having been the first 12-cylinder Ferrari to follow the commonly called mid-engine configuration popularized by Grand Prix cars of the 1960s.
From the earliest days, Ferrari produced competition versions of its top Grand Touring cars. The Berlinetta Boxer was no exception, and it competed successfully on the race tracks of the world, including Le Mans, Silverstone and Daytona, among others.
For the first time the complete story of the various road versions of the BB is told.
For the first time the complete competition history of the BB/LMs--of their successes (and disappointments) on the race tracks of the world including Le Mans, Daytona, Monza, Silverstone, is recounted with first-hand accounts from drivers, team members and other personnel.
