Lot 303: 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 by Pininfarina

With the intention of competing in the worldwide luxury car market, Ferrari introduced the totally new 365 GT 2+2 at the Paris Salon in October 1967. It bore a strong resemblance to both the 330 GTC Special built for Belgium's Princess de Rethy and to the famous 500 Superfast. The car was a technical triumph. It was the first 2+2 Ferrari to have all round independent suspension, and which also featured a hydro-pneumatic self levelling system. Power steering and air conditioning were standard equipment, whilst excellent insulation from noise and vibration was achieved by stabilising the engine, gearbox and rear axle casing in one unit and mounting it all at four points on special rubber bushes. The engine itself was the new Type 245, with a displacement of 4.4 litres, single overhead camshafts per cylinder bank and three Weber carburettors, producing 320bhp at 6,600rpm. Not surprisingly, the car was no slouch - with a top speed of 152mph, it could achieve 0-60mph and 0-120 acceleration times of 7.2 and 26.2 seconds respectively. During the three years of its production, only 800 examples of the 365 GT 2+2 were produced, yet nonetheless it is regarded as being one of the most successful luxury models Ferrari ever made.
