The Ferrari 275 GTB, introduced in 1964 at the Paris Motor Show, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and technically advanced Ferraris of its era. Styled by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, it combined elegant proportions with purposeful aggression, featuring a long nose, sweeping curves, and muscular rear haunches that gave it a timeless, balanced silhouette. Beneath the bodywork lay a 3.3-liter Colombo-designed V12 engine, producing around 280–300 horsepower, depending on specification. This engine delivered both refined smoothness and thrilling performance, with a top speed exceeding 150 mph.
One of its most significant innovations was the introduction of a rear-mounted transaxle, which combined the gearbox and differential to improve weight distribution and handling balance. The 275 GTB was also Ferrari’s first road car to use independent rear suspension, reflecting lessons learned from the brand’s racing experience. Offered with either steel or lightweight aluminum bodywork, and later in the rarer long-nose version to improve high-speed stability, the 275 GTB is considered a landmark model in Ferrari’s evolution.
