Thoughts on #365GTB4 🏁🏁 The style of the #365GTB4 was iconic. Its vast bonnet emphasised the #V12power beneath. This was a mighty beast, more #muscular warhorse than rampant pony. The Colombo V2 had grown to 4.4 litres, from the 3.3 of the previous #275GTB4 The soft poetry of the 275 GTB4’s lines had been sharpened into a muscular wedge. The short, sharp tail further emphasised the length of the nose. It was a car #dominated by that #front-mounted #engine and its promise of power. As the fastest road #Ferrari of its time, the 365GTB4 was a logical (and successful) choice for the #racetrack Which it duly delivered. Maximum #power was 352 hp, and top speed was 280 km/h – by some margin, the fastest road Ferrari up to that time. And while it bucked the emerging #trend to supercars that placed their engines behind their drivers, the #Daytona was generally thought superior to mid-rear engined rivals in handling and predictability. Its excellent #weight distribution – helped by the #rear transaxle and a V12 sited largely aft of the front axle – clearly helped. For proof, it would go on to be a highly #successful sports racer. #Competition versions would win their #class in the #LeMans 24-hour race in 1972, 1973 and 1974. As late as 1979 – six years after it ceased production – a Daytona would finish second outright in the Daytona 24-hour race. Ferrari Scuderia Ferrari Fast Auto Technic Co.
