Ferrari again, this time 1982. Originally designed to replace the 365 GTB/4 Daytona as the Ferrari 'supercar'. The original Berlinetta Boxer, the 365 GT4 BB, was launched in 1973. Ferrari had been beaten to launching the mid-engined supercar by Lamborghini by the sublime Miura, regardless of the fact that Ferrari had road registered 250 LMs earlier in the 1960's.

The Boxer was so named due to the orientation of the 12 cylinders. Arranged at 180 degrees, the layout is popularly named 'boxer', and is also used by Porsche (911, Boxster), VW (Original Beetle and Microbus) and Subaru. Both Ferrari and Porsche popularised the layout in racing in he 1960's and 70's and sought to capitilise on their success with the layout in their road cars.

By 1982 the car was nearly a decade old, having had the engine enlarged from 4.4 litres to 5.0 litres in 1976 after 387 had been produced. In 1982, near at the end of its career, the 512 gained Bosch K-jetronic fuel injection to try and contain the power loss from ongoing emissions legislation. This, however was not enough to prevent a drop off in performance.

The style is classic 1970's Maranello - curvy and wedgy a the same time. Waspishness around the wheelarches and a low, pointy nose.

13 years is a long career as a Ferrari though. The 512 BBi was replaced in 1984 by the new Testarossa after 1007 had been produced. The Testarossa retained the 5.0 litre capacity and 180 degree, 12-cylinder layout. The style was all new. Very wide, with horizontal strakes that would become the signature Ferrari look during the 1980's.

This miniland scale model has been created in Lego Digital Designer for Flickr LUGNuts 43rd build challenge - 'Plus or Minus Ten' - celebrating vehicles built ten years before or after the birth year of the modeller.
