About this car
The Ferrari 512 BB LM, introduced in 1979, is a rare racing variant of the Ferrari 512 BB, designed specifically for endurance racing, particularly at Le Mans. Produced between 1979 and 1982, only 25 units were built, making it an exceptionally scarce model highly sought after by exotic car collectors. It was developed by Ferrari in collaboration with private teams to compete in the Group 5 category, featuring extensive aerodynamic modifications, including a wider body, larger spoilers, and lightweight materials to enhance performance on the track.
Powered by a 5.0-liter flat-12 engine, the 512 BB LM delivered approximately 470-480 horsepower, a significant upgrade over the road-going 512 BB. It achieved notable top speeds exceeding 200 mph under racing conditions. Although it did not secure an overall victory at Le Mans, it remains historically significant for its bold design and Ferrari’s commitment to motorsport. Due to its limited production and racing pedigree, the 512 BB LM commands high value in the collector market, often fetching millions at auctions, with prices trending upward as pristine examples become rarer. Its unique blend of Ferrari heritage and competition history makes it a standout piece.
