the task of developing a fast, svelte and elegant 2+2 powered by the classic VI2 engine that would break with the more classical lines of the 1967 365 GT 2+2Ferrari 365 GT 2+2Italy, 1968 > present2 photos
and provide greater rear seat space than the GTC4.

The result was the 365 GT4 2+2 unveiled at the 1972 Paris Salon. The model was produced until 1976, with 521 examples being produced during that period.

The model was mounted on a 2700mm wheelbase chassis, which apart from the longer wheelbase and a slightly wider rear track, was virtually identical to that of the 365 GTC/4 model. The model was available in right or left hand drive form, with power assisted steering as standard.

Internally it featured an instrument panel and centre console layout that was very similar to the preceding 365 GTC4. Externally the only common design cues were the twin retractable headlights in rectangular pods, five spoke alloy wheels, door handle design, and a triple circular rear light arrangement.

The 365 GT4 2+2 also carries one design feature from the 365 GTB/4 “Daytona” model, the semi circular indent line along the body sides. Otherwise it received a completely new design from Pininfarina. The triple ear knock-off hub spinners and the triple rear light arrangement, are the most easily identifiable features to differentiate the 365 GT4 2+2

Powering the 365 GT4 2+2 was a virtually identical engine to that of the 365 GTC/4 model, a 4.4 litre V12 unit, with wet sump lubrication, and side draught twin choke Weber 38 DCOE59/60 carburettors and a 320hp output.
