All the infoboxes for different topics are color coded. The auto ones need to have the automobile standard color specified at Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Layouts. If you're going to change them, change them to that. Thanks.Hektor 19:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
MR or RR? Is the Berlinetta boxer mid-engined or rear-engined? In the main text of the article it is MR, and in the factbox it is RR. 80.203.247.217 19:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
That's kinda a tricky question. In a rear-engine car ( vw, porsche, corvair ), the engine is generally entierly behind the transmission. In a mid-engine car ( 288gto, Fierro, Mondial T ), the engine is in front of the transmission. In the BB the engine is actually centered OVER the transmission.

Front, Front-mid, mid, and rear engine designations are determined by the placement of the engine with respect to the front and rear axles (or half-axles). A front engine has at least a small "amount" of the motor over or forward of the front axle. A front-mid engine car has the engine entirely behind the front axle, e.g. the Dodge Viper. A mid engine car has some (usually most) of the motor in front of the rear axle. A rear engine car has at most a small "amount" of the motor over the rear axle and most of it behind the rear axle.
It's a midengine.
OK, so there's some movement in the hp/tq numbers for the Boxers. Looks like we've got some owners jostling for bragging rights. I am editing the page to reflect the numbers from the Ferrari Owner's Manuals. At least this is an attributable source. User:buzzm 1 June 2007
19 Aug 2007. The hp/tq numbers continue to dance. I am once again reverting back to the info from the Ferrari Owner's manuals. If you have another, CONSISTENT source of hp/tq numbers, then by all means please do make the changes to all 3 (365/512BB/512BBi) and cite the reference. Citing your own dyno numbers is not appropriate in this context. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Buzzm (talk • contribs) 13:53:31, August 19, 2007 (UTC).
