Profile & significance

Ferrari’s first production V8 road car and its notable break from Pininfarina: Bertone, with Marcello Gandini’s design language, created the wedge-shaped 2+2. Transverse 2.927-liter V8, 255 hp in early European tune, five-speed. Roughly 2,800. Current $60,000–$110,000, though early Dino- badged and exceptionally original cars command premiums. Timing belts, fuel hoses, carburetor balance, electrical fuse blocks and rust require attention.
