Mid-Engine Revolution · 1971–1972
365 GTC/4
Profile & significance
Pininfarina 2+2 GT using the 4.390-liter V12 at about 340 hp, five-speed and independent suspension, around 500 built. Market roughly $250,000–$450,000. Timing-chain/valve adjustment, six Weber carburetors, exhaust and hydraulic/self-leveling systems make neglected examples expensive. 365 GT4 BB — unveiled 1971; production 1973–1976. Ferrari’s first road-going mid-engined 12-cylinder berlinetta, using a 4.390-liter 180° V12 (“flat-12,” though not a true boxer crank arrangement) rated about 360 hp. Ferrari itself says it was the first Ferrari road car quoted at 300 km/h. Only 387 production cars were made. Current market roughly $350,000–$600,000. Major service access, carburetion, cooling and chassis/ body corrosion are key.
