A V12 Roar in a Mid-Engine World

At a time when competitors were rapidly moving toward mid-engine layouts for their flagship performance cars, Ferrari stood firm with a traditional front engine V12 configuration. The 365 GTB/4 was a powerful validation of the classic front-engine, rear-wheel drive GT philosophy.

At its heart was an evolution of the Colombo V12 engine, bored out to 4.4 litres. Paired with a five speed manual transaxle for excellent weight distribution, this legendary power plant produced a muscular 352 horsepower. The performance figures were staggering for the era: a 0-60 mph sprint in around 5.4 seconds and a top speed of up to 174 mph, cementing its place as one of the fastest production cars in the world.


Today, the first Ferrari Daytona, the 365 GTB/4, is revered as the magnificent, muscular swan song of Ferrari’s classic front engine V12 grand tourer era before the company fully embraced the mid engine layout with its successor. It remains an unmistakable icon of 1970s design and engineering, a potent blend of purebred racing pedigree and sophisticated grand touring capability. The name Daytona may be unofficial, but the legend is absolute.
