One of the icons of Ferrari's rich history, the Ferrari Daytona GTB/4 is often considered one of the most beautiful and impressive sports cars of the '60s. Introduced in 1968, the Daytona was the successor to the famous Ferrari 275 GTB and marked an important step in Ferrari's development of 12-cylinder GTs.
The GTB/4 (Gran Turismo Berlinetta 4) had a 4.4-litre V12 engine that produced a whopping 352 hp, enabling it to reach a top speed of around 280 km/h. What made the Daytona special was not only its performance, but also its revolutionary design, with clean lines, a low and aggressive front end and a sleek rear end. It was a car that exuded both power and elegance.
The interior was luxurious, with leather upholstery and a dashboard that combined the high-tech gadgets of the time with classic Ferrari features. The Daytona became famous for its participation in motorsport, but also for its appearance in popular culture, such as in the film *Le Mans* (1971), in which Steve McQueen was behind the wheel.
The Ferrari Daytona GTB/4 remains one of the most sought-after classic Ferrari's, thanks to its unmistakable style, exceptional performance and rich history.
