Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer : 1971

"Styling prototype of a history-making car which marked Enzo Ferrari's conversion to the technical solution of the mid-engine. Low and flowing line with a groove along the flanks which ideally divides the body into two parts, so that they appear superimposed". Sergio Pininfarina

Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer by Pininfarina.

The first Boxer was the 365 GT4 BB shown at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Designed to answer rival the Car Logos Pictures, it was finally released for sale in 1973 at the Paris Motor Show.
