Ferrari 512BB LM

A 500bhp, stripped out evo-version of the superb, flat-12 engined 512BB supercar designed in 1979 purely for private entry racing, including Le Mans 24 hrs. Paul Newman owned and raced one.

The body was designed by PininFarina to achieve high top-speeds on the straight at Le Mans and it clearly heralded the start of Ferrari's aerodynamic design philosophy in their racing and high-speed road cars through the 80s and 90s - 288GTO Evoluzione, F40, Testarossa etc. - with the sheer, rather than wedge-shaped, nose section.
