Ferrari 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’
The 365 GTB/4 was produced between 1968 and 1973 and was superseded by the Berlinetta Boxer. It was powered by a front engine 4.4L V12 producing 263kW with a 0-100kph time of 5.4 seconds. The front engine layout was in contrast to the mid-engined designs that were popular in the mid 1960s and successful in racing. The car weighed a svelte 1200kg. Some 1284 were produced over the five year production life, however there were only 158 RHD coupes. The car was informally known as the “Daytona” because of Ferrari’s 1-2-3 win in the 1967 Florida 24-hour of Daytona race.

Hi, Andrew, Thanks for sharing some lovely pics. Any more information on the collection / display? Aesthetically, I prefer the Boxer. I had an interesting conversation with the curator of a major metropolitan museum this past Saturday. She said, "When I l...

... I enjoyed the curators quote and completely agree. This is a commercial company, not an automotive museum, so I will reveal the details by PM. The locals know it well as it has been a family owned business for over 100 years. The nice thing is that th...
Not my favourite Ferrari; but I would not complain if I receive it as a gift. ;)
This kind of body is a very tough excercice de style, and I must say that the outcome is pretty convincing. And it looks in great condition! Best, and thanks for sharing this holy monster. Nicolas
