Ferrari Daytona History and Models
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 combined it with a 5-speed gearbox and all-around independent suspension.

A runaway success, 1,412 examples of the coupe, and 127 units of the spider (96 for the US & 31 for Europe) were built before production ended in 1973.
