The Ferrari
330 GTC was introduced during the Geneva Salon of 1966. The 330 GTC
featured a 4 litre V12 engine with double overhead camshafts and a five
speed gearbox mounted to the differential (transaxle).
The body was manufactured of steel, the bonnet and booth lid were made
from aluminium. Quickly after the introduction of the 330 GTC topless
version was presented during the Paris salon; the Ferrari 330 GTS.
The 330 GTC and GTS were designed by Pininfarina. The front of the
models was inspired by the nose of the Ferrari 500 Superfast. The rear
followed the beautiful lines of the Ferrari 275 GTS.
the 330 GTC and GTS did not follow up previous models; both cars were
new additions to the Ferrari model program.
The 330 models were designed and produced to appeal to a clientele with
a taste for style and refinement. The contemporary Ferrari 275 and Ferrari 365
Berlinetta were true "hard core" sportscars created to perform
without concessions.
The Ferrari 330 GTC and GTS materialize a very elegant, fast and easy
way of driving a Ferrari sportscar.
Production figures: Of the Ferrari 330 GTC 598 cars have been built
between 1966 and 1968. Of the Ferrari 330 GTS 100 cars have been built
between 1966 and 1968. After the year 1968 a few changes were made to
the cars and the model names were changed to 365 GTC and 365 GTS.
