The Ferrari 512 BB Competizione, with only three made, marked Ferrari's return to sports car racing in 1978. Developed from the 512 BB, it featured enhanced power and a competition-ready dry sump system. For the 24 Hours of Le Mans, three units were modified under IMSA regulations, including engine tuning, weight reduction, and aerodynamic enhancements like a Formula One-inspired rear wing. Despite improved performance, gearbox failures proved to be a major issue, leading to the retirement of two cars at Le Mans, underscoring a blend of racing ambition and technical challenges.
