There´s something special about 1960s Ferraris. Because they still breathe the atmosphere of a very small, but ambitions sports car business, owned and reigned by the one and only, Enzo Ferrari. All his cars were 12 cylinder art works back then, with yacht-like bodies styled by Pininfarina, and an aura, that was unrivalled – and still is until today.
This recipe does not only apply to the die-hard sports cars, but also to the GTs. However, the concept of a 4-seater Ferrari was new in 1960, when the 250 GT/E started the 2+2 family tree with an opulent glass house and a high-revving 3-litre engine under the bonnet. A car, similarly striking as the Aston Martin DB4, its major competitor.
The Ferrari 2+2 formula was very successful, leading to a whole series of family-friendly grand tourers. The 330 was followed by the 365 you see here, shot for Motor Klassik. Later, the genealogy led to icons like the 400, the Dino 308 or the 456 of the Montezemolo era. Even the contemporary GTC4 Lusso hasn´t lost touch to the legacy of the golden era of GTs, kicked off some 60-plus years ago…
