512 BB competition
196ss 11y ago
Top speed listed here is a very optimistic factory claim, I don't think it's really capable of it.
Top speed measured by R&T is 284kph. THe link - http://sportcars-history.com/assets/content/allin/06/08.jpg
In this test they achieved better acceleration figures than listed here.
0-60mph - 5,1 sec
0-100mph - 12,2 sec
1/4 mile - 13,5@100,5
Curb weight is also wrong, it is 3470 lbs (1574 kg), - http://sportcars-history.com/assets/content/allin/06/09.jpg

One of the best supercars ever made. 512 and Miura are two wonderful direct rivals, I love both.

Oh yeah, nice one! This is my favorite Ferrari, and it's quite fast even today! Excellent competitor to the Countach, which I also love!
But what a pity that Ferrari hasn't made any nice middle-engined 12-cylinder since Testarossa, and it's one of the reason why I'm not a Ferrari fun now. Ah, remember old good 60-90-ties, when Lambo and Ferrari were competing nicely with their brilliant cars (nowadays Lambos are still brilliant!)...
