Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 1973 - World Of Classic Cars -

Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 1973

In 1972, at the Paris Auto Salon, Ferrari unveiled an all new series to the world. It was a fast, svelte and elegant 2+2 powered by the classic VI2 engine, and through various iterations remained the most expensive model in Ferrari's range for the next 17 years. First available as the 365 GT4 2+2, it was followed in later years by the 400 and 412 series, with production ending in 1989. The 365 GT4 2+2 is easily distinguished from its stable mates by its six rear tail lights, knock off alloy wheels and lack of a front spoiler and 521 were produced between 1972 and 1976, only 55 being in right-hand drive.

The bodies were formed and fully trimmed at the Pininfarina works in Turin, and then shipped to the Ferrari factory in Maranello for the installation of the mechanical components. Under the bonnet, Ferrari squeezed in their 4.4 litre V12 unit producing 340bhp at 7000rpm, making it , at the time,  the world's most potent full four-seater. Despite its 1450 kilos, the car sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds and was capable of a top speed of 155 mph.
