I've jumped around quite a bit on the Ferrari postings -- from late to early, from sporting to luxury, etc.

I've covered almost all of the classic era front-engine V-12s, so let me concentrate on finishing off that genre.

As recounted earlier, Ferrari finally broke the 3-liter barrier with the introduction of the 275GTB berlinetta and the 275GTS spider in 1964. Two years later, they were ready for the next step; on the sporting side, that led to the introduction of the dual overhead cam six-carb 275GTB4.
On the more relaxed side, they introduced a coupe and spider using the same 4-liter V-12 as the 2+2. These models were the 330GTC and 330GTS -- as with practically all Ferraris of the era, they were very handsome cars and had excellent performance, if not quite the urgency of the 275GTB4.

The styling was evolutionary from the previous 275GTS. There was plenty of power from the 4.0 V-12: 300 hp.

598 330GTCs were sold and 100 330GTSs went out the door.

After a mere two years, Ferrari once again upped the ante: This time the displacement went to 4.4 liters and the power went to 320 hp. But the 365GTC and the 365GTS stayed in production for just a year: 168 coupes and just 20 spiders were built. By this time the legendary 365GTB4 Daytona -- in many ways the ultimate front-engine V-12 of the classic era -- had made its debut. I'll discuss the Daytona separately.

All the photos are of 330 models; the later 365 cars were almost identical.
