12 cylinders
Engine size : 4942 cm3
This 512BBLM was crafted by ScuderiaFerrari as the last factory 512BBLM for Jacques Swaters Ecurie FrancorchampsRacing Team and delivered in October of 1982 in preparation for the 1983 Le Mans Race.
This BB/LM was the very last of the limited series of 25 "Silhouette" Sports Prototype Racers built by Ferrari to compete at Le Mans before the advent of the all new 333 SP Program.
However it was and remains very unique from the earlier BB/LM design. While externally the car is identical to that of the earlier vehicles, it is in fact a very different car altogether.
This 512 BBLM unlike the earlier BB/LM's utilizes a body made entirely from composite materials rather than fiberglass, and this was 1982. This change alone lowered the cars weight by some 200 pounds in addition to being both far stronger and more resilient. To drive this car at high speed is to dream.
