By the mid-1960s, 50 percent of all Ferraris produced were being built with four seats, and following on from the success of its first such model, the 250GTE of 1960, Ferrari introduced the 330GT 2+2 in January 1964. The newcomer’s steel tube chassis was 50mm longer in the wheelbase than that of its predecessor and featured independent front suspension and a live rear axle, while beneath the 330’s more-spacious Pininfarina coachwork was a 300bhp, 4-litre V12 coupled to a four-speed overdrive gearbox. Its replacement, the 365GT 2+2, was launched at the Paris Salon in October 1967. Sleekly styled in the manner of the limited edition 500 Superfast, the 365GT 2+2 was the most refined Ferrari to date. Based on that of the contemporary 330GTC, the chassis was made up of Ferrari’s familiar combination of oval and round steel tubing, and as well as featuring independent suspension all round (for the first time on a Ferrari 2+2) boasted Koni’s hydro-pneumatic self-levelling system at the rear. Further refinements included mounting the engine and drive-train in rubber bushes to insulate the car’s occupants from noise and vibration, and offering ZF power-assisted steering and air conditioning as standard equipment. Developing 320bhp in its 365GT incarnation, the well-proven 4.4-litre V12 engine was coupled to a five-speed gearbox, while the car’s blistering performance - top speed 150mph, 0-60mph in 7.0 seconds - was restrained by Girling ventilated discs all round. A total of 800 cars had been completed by the time production ceased in 1971. Endowed with that unusual combination of fine handling and a supple ride, the 365GT 2+2 was rated by Car magazine as ‘the most civilised Ferrari yet.’ The Ferrari 365GT we offer was purchased by the current owner from Forza Automobile in Paris six years ago. Finished in silver, with nicely patinated original black leather upholstery and red carpets, the car is newly repainted and benefits from an overhauled gearbox and recent servicing. La Ferrari 365 GT offerte ici a été achetée par son propriétaire actuel chez Forza Automobile, à Paris, il y a six ans. Peinte en gris métallisé, avec des moquettes rouges et une sellerie d'origine en cuir noir dotée d'une belle patine, cette voiture a été repeinte et bénéficie d'une boîte de vitesses refaite et d'une révision récente. Carte grise française.
