Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2: spacious 1970s V12 coupe
The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 is a four-seater Ferrari coupe produced from 1972 to 1976 with a V12 engine, designed for comfortable journeys. In this article, we look at its history, technology, and what to check if the model appears on the market.
365 GT4 2+2 in brief
The 365 GT4 2+2 replaced the earlier 365 GT 2+2 and became a spacious, luxurious grand tourer. Its design was crafted by Pininfarina: angular, striking, with wide windows and a substantial front end.
The car was aimed at buyers who needed more space than the typical two-seater Ferrari, hence it features four seats. Only a few hundred units were produced, making the model relatively rare.
What sets it apart
The key advantage is space and comfort. This model is less famous than the Daytona or Dino, so its price is usually more accessible than other classic Ferraris, although parts and maintenance remain expensive.
It was later succeeded by the 400 model, which was based on the same foundation but received improved technology. When buying, you should verify that the car is indeed a 365 GT4 2+2.
Engines and transmissions
The engine is a roughly 4.4-litre V12 with around 320 HP, derived from the legendary 365 GTB/4 Daytona. It's powerful but complex and sensitive to maintenance.
The transmission is a five-speed manual, with power sent to the rear wheels. It's a simple, classic power delivery setup.
What to check when buying a 365 GT4 2+2
First and foremost — rust. Check the floors, sills, undersides of the wings, and around the front and rear windows. Repairs can be very expensive.
Engine condition is the key question: ask when major work was done and check for oil leaks. Also inspect the electrical equipment, cooling system, and interior trim.
It's worth buying only with a specialist who knows classic Ferraris. Check the VIN, documents, and the car's true history.
