FERRARI 275 GTB 1964-1968 Photos, engines & full specs

1The Ferrari 275 GTB was one of the best cars ever built by the Italian car manufacturer, related to the time it went out on the market. And that's made it a favorite for many.

Ferrari was in its high times in the mid-'60s. The prancing horse brand was winning races after races, and it was the most desirable sports car in the world. The 250 model was a hit, but it was already aging. Then, in 1964, the Maranello car manufacturer introduced the 275 GTB.

The 1964 version, also known as the "short nose," featured the bodywork's long and curved lines. It was an aesthetic masterpiece, but soon they found a big flaw in the aerodynamic department. At higher speeds, the nose was slightly lifting. Ferrari fixed that issue in 1965 with a longer nose and a smaller radiator grille.

Ferrari 275 GTB featured a luxurious interior with leather upholstery all around. Even the rear shelf, used for luggage, was covered in leather, and the carmaker offered a set of bags and suitcases to fit the area. Ferrari installed roll-cages in some vehicles for the customers who wished to race their cars on the tracks. But the 275 GTB was more of a tourism car than a racing car, even though it could do both.

Under the hood was a sequel of the Colombo engine used by Ferrari since the '50s. The 3.3-liter V12 was offered with a choice of three or six double-barrel carburetors.
