The quieter V12
A low bonnet, a broad black nose and two occasional rear seats distinguish Ferrari’s 365 GTC/4. Its four-cam V12 shares the Daytona’s displacement, but side-draught carburettors and a conventional gearbox serve a different brief: a grand tourer built around long journeys.
Overview
Introduced at Geneva in 1971, the 365 GTC/4 gave Ferrari a compact grand tourer alongside the more overtly sporting Daytona. Pininfarina replaced the earlier upright nose with a wide dark grille surround and concealed headlights.
The body’s low front dictated a different induction layout. The V12 used six side-draught Weber carburettors and wet-sump lubrication, while the five-speed gearbox sat behind the engine rather than at the rear axle.
Production was brief, spanning 1971 and 1972 in the principal histories. Surviving cars differ in original market specification and restoration history; the model name alone is not enough to establish their technical or financial equivalence.
