While the 275 GTB/4 may look like a grand tourer, the glorious twelve-cylinder engine beneath the sculpted hood suggests otherwise. For this glamorous model, Ferrari improved the 3.3-liter V12, a motor that boasts dry-sump lubrication, four overhead camshafts, and no less than six Weber carburetors.
Mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, the Ferrari was equally at home on a track as it was munching the miles on a European highway. With a body designed by Scaglietti, the 275 GTB/4 is arguably one of the prettiest Ferraris made in the sixties (that says a lot), making it a coveted car amongst collectors.
Just four examples were built between 1966 and 1968, with this example leaving the factory in late ’67. Like its stablemates, the 275 GTB/4 was a true jet-setter, spending some time in Italy before landing in California for a few years. In 1994, it was sent to Japan, where it remained with the same family for 15 years.
The Aurora Collection acquired the car in 2011, with the owner repainting the vehicle in Oro Chiaro – an ode to a previously owned example that had been stolen.
