Why it matters
Unveiled at the 1968 Paris Salon, the 365 GTB/4 replaced the 275 GTB/4 with a strikingly modern Pininfarina design built by Scaglietti. Its unofficial Daytona nickname honored Ferrari’s historic one-two-three finish at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona. The 4,390 cc Tipo 251 Colombo V12 used four overhead camshafts, six twin-choke Weber carburetors and dry-sump lubrication to produce approximately 352 hp. A rear-mounted five-speed transaxle helped achieve near-even weight distribution, while independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes supported a 174 mph top speed. Early European cars featured headlamps behind a full-width Plexiglas panel; later examples adopted retractable lamps. Ferrari produced 1,284 berlinettas through 1973, establishing the Daytona as one of Maranello’s most celebrated grand tourers.
