Ferrari 4 Seaters, Part 4: 365 GT4 2+2

The 365 GT4 2+2 and its progenies, the 400, 400i, and 412, are quite possibly the most controversial and hated Ferraris of all time. They also happen to be my favorite Ferraris (after the F40 and the 288 GTO).


Where to begin? The pop up headlights? The low hood line? The sedan-like looks? Or the first automatic transmission in a Ferrari? They make the 365GT 2+2 unique, that's for sure.


The 4.4 liter V12 was capable of 155 miles per hour and a 0 to 60 time of 6.4 seconds. The six carbs were mounted on the outside of the cylinder banks, thus making the low hood line possible. Unfortunately, it was not a commercial success. In four years, only about 500 were sold.
