FERRARI 275 GTB 6C
Between 1964 and 1966, Ferrari built this, the 275 GTB, a two-seat grand touring coupe. As was tradition with Ferrari, the model’s name was derived from the engine’s individual cylinder displacement, in this case 275 cc, with the Italian designation of Gran Turismo Berlinetta.
Ferrari’s Tipo 213 engine was the final and ultimate development of the incredible 3,285 cc Colombo V12 for the road, and in standard form was fitted with three Weber 40 DCN carburettors. However, if you were one of Enzo Ferrari’s favoured clients, or intended to compete, you may have received a car fitted with six Weber 40 DCN carburettors, less than 60 cars were completed in this specification. In todays market, these are the most desirable 275 GTBs thanks to the increased performance offered by the six carburettors. This formidable power was delivered to the road through a rear-mounted transaxle, which housed both the five-speed gearbox and rear differential. This transaxle assembly had proven to be highly successful on circuit, with the 275 GTB being the first Ferrari road car to feature this technology. Importantly, the 275 GTB was also the first Ferrari road car to incorporate independent suspension at all four corners.
