Ferrari 1965 275 GTS
1965 275 GTS - next ››

Coach builder Pinin Farina was at the top of his game when he produced this stunning sports car. The much admired and rarely seen Ferrari is one of 200 originally produced between November 1964 and May 1966. The 275 GTS premiered in October 1964 at the Grand Palais. The sister to the 275 GTB, it was fitted with a 3.3 liter V-12 engine producing 260 HP and reaching top speeds of 140 MPH. One of the most gorgeous of all Spyders to come from Turin, Italy, it recently recieved a first class award at the Concours de Elegance at NHIS in 2001.

Enzo Ferrari raced in the 1920’s, in the 30’s he went on to run the Alfa Romeo works team as Scuderia-Ferrari. He became frustrated with Alfa’s decision to concentrate its efforts on road car production and felt Alfa were neglecting their racing heritage, he left the company and began building his own cars, enter the Legend...

 

Many, many racing successes followed, but he soon realised road car production was vital to finance his racing ambitions. His first engine was a simple V-12 with a light alloy block and cylinder heads, narrow valve angles, 1500cc with tiny 125cc cylinders, 3 twin-choke webers and twin ignition distributors (remember this is in 1947)

Ferrari hit the world headlines in 1964 with the launch of the 275 GTB, a Ferrari with all new suspension, and a comfortable to drive Ferrari and of course, extremely quick.

Daytona 365 GTB/4

In 1968 the Ferrari Daytona 365GTB/4 was launched, the last GT front-engine Ferrari supercar. The car was named in honour of Ferrari’s success in the American 24-hour race of the same name, 365 denotes the capacity of each cylinder, four stood for the number of camshafts. This sensational motorcar had a top speed of 70mph, in reverse gear that is! Forwards just 175mph.

To celebrate 40 years of production Ferrari built the F40, a road-legal racer, a twin turbo 3-litre 478 bhp 200mph supercar.

Enzo said, if it’s not enough we can fit a wider camshaft and larger turbos.......then you have 678bhp!

Sadly Enzo did not live to see the F50, a similar car to the F40 but with a 4.7 litre engine and no turbo’s. Performance of both the F40 and F50 was almost identical (the F50 slighter quicker acceleration and top speed) The F50 is really an out-and-out racer for the road, not a developed road car. The V-12 engine is bolted directly to the carbon-fibre chassis. Despite more power than the F40, maximum speed will be no greater, ground effect is more important.

The1958 250 GT Spyder California had the body built by Scaglietti although the design came from Pinnin Farina. Just over 100 Spyder’s were built, Ferrari thought this would be an ideal competition road car, but most owners thought this car was just too nice to race! In the early 60’s the California was modified to a short-wheel-base form, many thought it even better looking than the 1958 version. Production ceased in 1963.
