Daytona is one of the best Ferrari models of all time. Even though the name has never been used in Ferrari literature or is unofficial, it is a successful successor to the 275 GTB / 4, which is excellent.
Ferrari took the rear differential from its predecessors and combine it with a 5-speed gearbox and all-round independent suspension. Some of the components in this car were a 4,390cc engine unit that produced 325bhp @ 7,500 rpm with two camshafts per bank, improved ventilated disc brakes, and six outstanding twin-choke Weber carburetors.

It was first presented at the Paris Motorshow in October 1968 while at the Frankfurt Motorshow in September of the following year, the 365 GTS/4 Spider variant was introduced.
Pininfarina designed an immaculate two-seat coupe body for the GTB/4 with a long hood, small cockpit, and short rear end.

Faired in headlights were replaced by pop-up units for the US and later all markets while a new style of alloy wheel, the
new classic Ferrari five-spoke, was fitted. To reduce the rather high weight, aluminum alloy doors, boot lid, and hood were fitted.
A runaway success, 1,412 examples of the coupe, and 127 units of the spider (96 fo the US & 31 for Europe) were built before production ended in 1973.
