The Ferrari 330 GT was the successor of the 250 GTE and
the 330 America. The car was introduced at the 1964 Salon in Brussels. The car combined all the essential period components, most notably a front-mounted 4-litre V12 and elegant Pininfarina coachwork. Two versions were
built between 1964 and '67; the series I and series II.
Produced alongside the 275 GTB and the exclusive 500 Superfast, it was designed as a more comfortable vehicle to drive than Ferrari's two-seater models. The impressive V12 engine of 3967cc produces a very healthy 300bhp at 6600rpm, enough to propel the 330 GT from zero to sixty in just 6.3 seconds and onto a top speed of 240
km/h. A four-speed gearbox with electronic overdrive was fitted. In reality, 330's offered perhaps the best-balanced and most accomplished design of all the four seater
V12's ever constructed by Ferrari. Borrani wire wheels were fitted as standard. As you would have expected from one of the worlds most expensive grand touring cars, 330 interiors were very luxurious.
