- The Ferrari 365 GT4 BB is, in essence, Ferrari's first mid-engined car. The Dino may have come beforehand, but this was the first to wear a Ferrari badge.
With just 387 produced, it's much rarer, lighter and more powerful than the later 512s.

The 365 GT4 BB and the 512 BB are both so stunning and amazing machines. That guy who bought this beauty is a very lucky person indeed.
The 365 BB was the first Ferrari supercar
No one will believe me, but my dad owns one of the 387 units ever made of the 365 GT4 BB. His is a 1975 and spent some time in Japan before he purchased in 1980. Glad to see the value going up after he had full restoration done in 2014!
As soon as he mentioned the single wing mirror, you can't unsee that shit.
I read your comment before I watched the clip🤣. You’re right lolm
This car is so mechanical. What a wonderful era of Ferraris.
Cars tend to be machines, yes.
No one seems to notice, but it has SIX exhaust pipes!
Was not expecting to see this on a track. This is fantastic! Thank you EVO!
This Icons series are my favorite Evo videos.
My pops bought one in 1980 and it's still the best sounding car I've ever heard.
It's videos like this which reinforce why Evo are the best.
I love how they keep these cars looking out the showroom, id take these old mint cars over any new one!
+MrMister1227 You better have a ton of money for maintenance. Ferrari didn't really get the whole "reliability" thing until Honda showed the world a supercar didn't need to be fickle.
True aha
Perfect Speech Ever.
I’ll give any car the benefit of the doubt, but there’s a difference between a car looking good and a car being mechanically as pristine.
@@ianmason2003as opposed to modern supercar that has to be sent back to factory to be service whereas an older ferrari or lamborghini can go to a specialist mechanic with a good reputation
I'm so glad you managed to find one of these. A more raucous uncivilised version of the later 512BB - I remember seeing a road test for this at the time and loving the little pull down sunvisors! It was the bogs dollocks at the time. I was later lucky enough to own a carb 308GTB - can't believe how stupid I was to sell it. The crackle from those carbs with the drivers' window cranked a couple of inches was sublime (Rhd version)
What sheer bliss it must be to drive a vintage Ferrari Flat 12. I love the history of Ferrari.
I was quite taken by the Countach as a teenager, but later realised that I was rather gauche (and so, dare I say it, was the Countach). The BB is a far better-looking car, and a more timeless, classic design.
I love the various mechanical noises when the engine is started up.
Great cinematography as always 👌
Could hear every word that time! YAY! Thank you! Also, really enjoyed the video, too, so thanks for that as well!
great video & an amazing car
love the italian spec indicators - much more modern than the big orange panels in most of the BB's
Great video of an awesome car!
Thank you EVO
Henry, I LOVE your Omega Speedmaster on that nato, just oozes class, and I'd expect nothing less from you sir!
Also noticed it! Great choice!
More episodes like this please. With Henry .
That shaking in the steering wheel :p
+M RO Yeah, this Ferrari needs some work for sure. 1. Straightening of all rims to remove vibration in the steeringwheel and butt. 2. Rebalance the wheels after straightening. 3. Do a proper wheel alignment and re-center the steering wheel.
Also something about that exhaust note bugs me. Especially during the cold start it sounded a bit weird.
OMG... What a car; one of my favourites Cavallino.
loved it! Had to google the difference between boxer amd flat. grat job!
evos journalists are the best, love Henry and Jethros vids
BB actually stands for Berlinetta Bialbero (twin cam), I'm sure Ferrari knew the difference between a boxer and a flat engine.
Owners manual contradicts you 😉😉 it stands for berlinetta boxer
0:40 6 exhaust pipes!!!
I need a poster of this beauty.
Framed !
Henry is lucky that the car he got to drive has a big steering wheel spacer fitted. This gives a much better chance of achieving a comfortable driving position. The standard wheel is so close to the top of the instrument cowl that the leather there is often covered in nicks from fingernails! What a pure shape these cars were though. Lovely!
Genuino y unico como pocos, me encanta ver y oir a los Ferrari de antes, tienen algo especial
Good commentary on the high-profile tires. Plus, those tires just look RIGHT on these cars. The suspension would not cope with low-profile tires. I know you lose some accuracy in steering with high-profile tires, but I just put a set on my MINI Cooper S and it really works for the car. But my MINI is a bulldog compared to that 365 GT4 BB.....beautiful car.
So in 1973-1974 Ferrari offered the 365 GT4 BB, the Dino 246 GT, and the "Daytona" (along with the more obscure 365 GT4 2+2)! My God, what a lineup!
I love the special journalist seatbelt 0:26
1:24 what an intricate windscreen wiper!
Perfect Lovely Video All The Best.
It's funny how I bought this Ferrari and a Lamborghini Countach in Gran Turismo 6 the day before this video was released. I had dreamt of those cars
and I mean actually dreaming, while sleeping
I am not normally a nostalgist but the boxer is still my favourite car , it is totally outclassed by modern Ferraris but , for me it retains that indefinable something that has lasted with me these many years , the harsh bark of the flat twelve , the side profile and the rear end view all have lasted as a desirable enticement to buyers of classic Ferraris and this car is indeed a great classic.
EVO can we get a Porsche 993 GT2 ICONS video
+Carcarlo Pravettoni how is that question gay?

i love the exhuast pipes ont the 365gt4 bb. like 6 machine gun abrrels sticking out the back
are those gorgeous side pictures downloadable somewhere?
I have loved these cars since day one. Still a trully magnificent looking car.
I like how this car had dents and scratches, this car gets driven and driven
what a lovely lovely noise!
Great review!!!!!! Did anyone else noticed Henry's hand vibrating while holding the steering wheel? I really wonder how it is to drive a car like this...
+Γιώργος Παπαδόπουλος Wheel balancing or wheel issue perhaps..
nice vid evo
I cant remember the lst time I drove a car without abs or powert steering or traction control...I kinda miss it...Bet that GT4 BB is a riot!
beautiful
Ferrari 365GT4 BB's were sold in Canada but not in the USA. I remember seeing the first one in the showroom of Yonge-Steeles Motors. It was white with predominantly red seats. The price was $41,000 Cdn!
Beautiful car 😍😍😍
After these years of destructive driving on real world conditions the 365 is still one of the most well-put-together cars.
"Done less than 9000km" my arse. Jay Leno is right in the reasons he gives for not owning a Ferrari.
It is a strange behavior of Ferrari owners, on average they drive 1000km a year or less and keep the cars under 2 years. Small wonder the motors were designed for major service every few years.
Are those Giro Empire laces?
Is that a key shaped like an Electric Guitar?
first time i saw 6 exhausts from a production car :o
Poor Henry, being that tall and loving sports cars must be frustrating. Bless 'em.
So jealous. Great car.
The trouble with cars like this, is you have to take mighty good care of them.
Great review by Mr Catchpole. Isn't it odd the more "advanced" new cars get,the more car nuts long for the cars of yesterday. That "it" factor's been designed out of them now.
Most modern sports cars look more like advanced kitchen appliances than anything else, with their over-abundance of ugly, geometric, details breaking up the lines of the car. The BB, and the Lamborghini Miura, that it was a response to, are just svelte with the barest of design details that complement the look of the cars rather than distract from them.
I believe those early BB cars were quite lovely to drive at medium speed, but they became a bit of a handful if you tried to push them. As mentioned, the engine was on top of the gearbox, which was not ideal, and like the Countach, manufacturers hadn't quite worked out what the suspension and alignment settings should be yet... Correct 'normal' front engine dynamics was pretty well understood, but getting a mid engine to work right was a bit of a new thing...
Yeah it's weird since mid engined cars dominated the racing scene and they must have figured out the handling over there
I think I stopped caring about Ferraris when the F40 ended its run... Classic Ferraris are amazing
387 were built, of which 88 were right-hand drive (of which 58 for the UK market)
What about the Ferrari 250 LM?
The Black Stallion.
nice
0:04 That's the manliest thing Henry has ever done.
A little wiggle xD
back when sports cars where unique and different from each other
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Hate to say this Mr. Catchpole but the Ferrari 250 LM (which should have been called the 275 LM) was the first mid-engined road car Ferrari made.
That was a racing car though, I know some where homoligated for the road aswell. But the 365 was designed as a road car, I think that was the point he was making.
Errr The ‘LM’ stand for LeMans which errrr means it was a race car. Not your finest moment Rollo
The magic of old Ferraris: To me they lost it somewhere during the 1980s or 1990s. Probably the death of Enzo Ferrari and the arrival of electronics played a role in that.
+X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X Not like the 355?
Same with Lotus
Mark Scott
The 355 may be the last for me ;)
Yes the 90 s is were it started to go wrong with Ferrari ,but give me a miura any day to this . Modern lambos are far more interesting than modern Ferraris .They still look like a super car should
Mark cbay
I actually think something rather similar about Lamborghinis: The Countach is the last one I really did - even if it would probably try to kill me...
Fantastic. My favourite ever car. Oh well one day...
Dat Test Drive music!
Nice review Henry - should have bought my mates one in 93 for £65k Doh!!!....normally I don't give a chuff about colour but this should be returned to Giallo.... as the most beguiling factors of a 512BB is the two tone nature of the car eg colour on 2/3 of top of car and black lower third - in black/ black the rear of the car looks undernourished!!
The 'count-ash', because so many burnt out!
I see what you did there. Nice
Underrated Ferrari!
Ha, I had no idea this Ferrari existed. Initially I thought it was the 512 and I found those two extra tail lights and exhaust pipes very odd.
+ianiva I'm right there with you, never knew this existed. Talk about an automotive unicorn. Any idea what the differences between a 180 degree V engine and a boxer engine are? I know BB always stood for Berlinetta Boxer so i just assumed it was a boxer engine, but he made sure to say it's not one but rather a 180 (flat) V12
+damieg82 goo.gl/75L1VJ
Left: 180º V6 (flat-6); Right: 6-cyl Boxer
+damieg82 Basically in a boxer engine each pair of pistons operate "in phase", so the opposing cylinders ignite simultaneously. In a 180° V engine each pair of pistons share a crankpin, so they fire "out of phase" with each other (when one goes up, the other goes down).
Same here
+damieg82 Boxer has every single piston with its own connection to the crankshaft, in an alternate fashion, meaning opposing cylinders fire simultaneously, "boxing" each other like fists. 180 degree V, each pair of opposing pistons shares a single connection to the crankshaft, so they are always moving in opposite directions, not "boxing" each other.
You look like an old Harry Potter having a midlife crisis in that car
+Morten R lmao true
haha
Ferrari answer facing nuked shock named : Lamborghini Miura !
I LOVE
the boxer vs 180 degrees V engine topic at 3:13 I do not understand.
a 180 degree V engine does not exist
only 180 degree flat engine 😉😉
BB stands not for Berlinetta Boxer (neither for Brigitte Bardot).
BB stands for Berlinetta Bialbero (see Mauro Forghieri in Davide Cironi interview).
When Mr. Lamborghini smoked he would Count-Ash:)
Wasn't the 250 LM mid engine as well?
Yes
That noise. A mechanical orchestra.
Twelve cylinders through carburettors is never a bad noise. Far more interesting than the dull blare of today's direct-injection Ferrari V12s. And, of course, Blyton Park used to resound to the greatest of all 12-cylinder engines - the Rolls-Royce Merlin.
But can he drive 55?
9000 km from new and the accelerator pedal is worn down from heel/toe use, come on it has gone a lot further..... Or maybe someone fitted new used rubber to the pedal :)
Being low and having low cg, while simultaneously having tall tires and healthy clearance means its more capable and enjoyable around most roads where comparable hp/lb modern cars will make you sweat.
Not one, not two, damn, not even 4, but rather 6 exhaust tips, god damn it!
The reasons why the car never sold in the US had nothing to do with Enzo. FIAT was running the road car division with zero input from EF from 1970. The marketing connection of this car was to the 312 F1 motor, and no one in the US cared about F1 in the 70s.
less than 9000km... I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies..
@evo I think that the first ever mid-engined car with Ferrari logo is the 1963 250 LM Stradale

3:17 What's the difference between a boxer and 180 degree V engine?
www.google.co.uk/search?q=What's+the+difference+between+a+boxer+and+180+degree+V+engine
Shape. Boxer is as the name suggests basically a square box while a V is obviously in the shape of the letter 'V'. 180 just means its rotated
altern8ive Thanks haha!
So all it means is boxer engines have a separate crank journal for each piston versus flat V have two pistons per crank journal.
CyberTigerCro You should read altern8ive's link
+CyberTigerCro Nope, you actually got it completely wrong. 180 degree V engines are shaped exactly like boxers, with all of the cylinders lying flat (180 degrees apart from each other). The difference is more technical: a boxer has every single piston with its own connection to the crankshaft, in an alternate fashion, meaning opposing cylinders fire simultaneously, "boxing" each other like fists. 180 degree V, each pair of opposing pistons shares a single connection to the crankshaft, so they are always moving in opposite directions, not "boxing" each other.
Little known fact, Henry Catchpole is actually Edd China's cousin.

In over 40 friggin' years I've NEVER heard it called a "count-ash"; and is a wing mirror a wing mirror when it's not on a wing?
Wing in British english is
fender to american english
@@claudiomarangone614 Heyya Claudio, thanks but I'm sure we all know that wing, as in wing mirror is a fender.
BTW, sayin' British English is the same as saying 930 turbo (911 turbo turbo), it's redundant as they invented it. 'yank English as a descriptor is good though 'cause that tells us it's not real English.
What I was sayin' is that they called them wing mirrors yet there were no mirrors on their wings.
Sounds very 'endy' as it pulls away, and you can hear it at other times as well.
What about 250 LM ? Isn't that car was a mid-engine before 365 GT4 BB ?
Not a road car.
What about the 250LM and 365P? They had mid engines...
+Ced Milz He was talking about it being the first mid-engine production road car.
+plidex the 365p is a one off road car
Exactly, it's not a production car. It's a concept car made by Pininfarina, Enzo Ferrari didn't even like it and only decided to build the 365 GT4 BB after the success of the Miura.
+plidex What about the 250LM? That was a production road car as well.
Henry Floyd I think the 250LM is a production* road car, the asterisk being that Enzo had to make it to homologate the car for GT racing. Just like Mercedes had to build the road version of the CLK GTR. Calling them production cars is a bit generous. But what matters here is what Enzo thought and how Lamborghini made him change his mind.
Can we have a porsche 993 turbo evo Icon? Or a combo of 930 turbo, 993 turbo and 997 turbo.
+Syam Krishnan R how about a 993 gt2?
UA-cam doesnt have a porsche heritage video showing the evolution of 911s. 993gt2 would be awesome.
sure. if you've got any of those, let evo know.
If I had anyone of those, why would I bother putting up such a comment?
A Flat 12 in a mid-engine small car like that, about the length of a Ford Focus. Can it get any better than this? Not even mentionning the looks.
Driv3r in Nice!
ferrari 250 lm was
mid engine ..or im i mistaking .
Your right, it was mid engined ..
