Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 512BBRR

Those numbers have to be low - Boxer-12 engine parts, even the fabricated kind, are near-double what 308 parts go for these days.  $30K buys you a 308 engine rebuild now, BTW.  And that's with aftermarket (less expensive than factory) pistons for more compression, as this Boxer has.  Add porting/polishing the heads, flow-bench work, custom sodium valves, etc. that the 308-rebuild won't get.....More like $50K+ for the engine alone.  Caribou isn't 'cheap labor', which is why they mentioned that this was done with a blank check and little restraint.

Not sure, but I'd estimate this build up to be in the region of $50k including parts and labor.

The engine work must've been $30k at least...not cheap to mod Ferrari.

100bhp over stock is legit though.

Just in case anyone wanted to talk Ferrari today...

The BB in the link above looks positively delicious.

Indeed it very well does!!

Thanks Lashdeep for starting my sunday off right....

Question....any idea how much this project cost???

Having seen a ghetto 512BB in person and being somewhat impressed I could only imagine the street presence of this monster...
