Ferrari 4 Seaters, Part 3: 365 GT 2+2

At the Paris Motor Show in October 1967, the 365 GT 2+2 debuted. It was much longer and heavier than its predecessor. But it still looked sleek and quick.


The large front and rear overhangs immediately catch the eye. Koni designed a hydraulic self-leveling system for the rear suspension. Because it weighed in at almost two tons, power steering was added to the 365 GT 2+2.


Performance was respectable. It finished the quarter mile in 15.2 seconds. It had a top speed of 152 mph and it did 0 to 60 in 7.2 seconds. About 800 of these models were sold between late 1967 and early 1971.
