| The evolution of the 275 GTB4 was a milestone in the history of extreme high-performance front-engined sports cars and led to the creation of the 365 GTB4. Presented at the Paris Motor Show, it was unofficially baptised by fans as the 'Daytona', recalling the historic success of the Ferrari prototypes at the Daytona 24 Hours of the previous year. |
| Sleek and modern Pininfarina lines were matched by a development of the 4.4-litre V12 engine fed by six Weber twin-choke 40 mm carburettors. The revised engine generated more than 350 bhp and propelled the 365 GTB4 to a top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h). |
| Excellent weight distribution was achieved by moving the gearbox to the rear of car, in unit with the transaxle. This produced a car of rare balance for the late 1960s, and one which guaranteed a unique driving experience. |
