 | The Ferrari 275 is a series of two-seat front-engined V12-powered cars produced in GT, roadster, and spyder form by Ferrari between 1964 and 1968. The first Ferrari to be equipped with a transaxle, the 275 is powered by a 3.3 L (3286 cc) Colombo 60° V12 engine that produces 280-300 hp. The 275 followed the massively successful 250 series. The chassis possessed a nearly perfect weight distribution and a counter-balance by the new five-speed transaxle. |
| It also boasted a fully independent suspension front and rear, as well as servo-assisted disc brakes. Ferrari’s 275 GTB was a masterpiece. Like most racing cars, many 275 GTB/Cs were subject to hard use, with few surviving their early racing careers unscathed. |  |
 | 12 'competizione' cars were produced in total. This example made €5.7m in 2014. |  |
 | Ferrari launched a new model in the GT class for the 1966 season. Pininfarina designed the GT and roadster bodies, Scaglietti the very rare and valuable NART Spyder. 'Competizione' examples had thinner alloy body panels and other racing modifications. |
 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Berlinetta Competizione | The 275 GTB was considered the last of the classic Ferraris. The long-nose examples are considered the ultimate derivative of the 275 GTB with one of the most stunning designs ever penned by Pininfarina and crafted by Scaglietti. The car is an icon of Italian design and craftsmanship.  |  |
 | Approximately 58 long-nose, torque-tube, triple-carburetor, steel-bodied examples were made. In early 2015 a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB by Scaglietti sold for $2.8m.  |
