Ferrari. Few names in the motoring world carry such a weight and heritage. Ferrari was founded in 1939 by the legendary Enzo Ferrari. The company began creating race cars in 1940, yet only in 1947 did the company produce a car badged as a Ferrari. To list notable road models is almost impossible as so many Ferrari models hold such important places in the automotive world. Legendary cars such as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/250/">250</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/288-gto/">288 GTO</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/daytona/">Daytona</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/dino/">Dino</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/enzo/">Enzo</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/f40/">F40</a> are just a few of the Ferrari models whose names send pulses racing. Ferrari also has a massive motorsport heritage, having competed&nbsp;in Formula 1 since the sport&#39;s first season. The company has gone on to win multiple championships, and boasts a racing history second to none. Ferrari&#39;s <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/formula-1/">Formula One</a> cars as well as their other motorsport and track cars are among the most highly regarded in the world. Recently the company has been working with hybrid systems used solely for performance improvement, the first of those systems debuting in the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/laferrari/">LaFerrari</a>.

Ferrari 275 - All Variants

The Ferrari 275 is a series of front-engined V12-powered grand touring automobiles with two-seater coup&eacute; and spyder bodies produced by Ferrari between 1964 and 1968. They replaced the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/250/">Ferrari 250</a> series. The first 275 series cars, the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/275/gtb/">GTB</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/275/gts/">GTS</a>,&nbsp;were powered by a 3.3 L (3286 cc) dual overhead camshaft Colombo 60&deg; V12 engine producing 260&ndash;320 hp (190&ndash;240 kW). An updated <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/275/gtb4/">275 GTB/4</a> was introduced in 1966, with a revised four overhead camshaft engine producing 300 hp (220 kW). The 275 series were the first road-going Ferraris equipped with a transaxle and independent rear suspension.

275 - All Variants

For the 1966 season, Ferrari built a new series of 12 lightweight 275 GTB/C racing cars. Even though they outwardly resembled the road-going 275 GTB, the 275 GTB/C was thoroughly revised by Mauro Forghieri and his Scuderia Ferrari engineering team and differed from both the 275 GTB production car and earlier 275 GTB competition cars. Every panel of the body was altered and substantial mechanical changes were made. All 12 were constructed in 1966 between the end of the 275 GTB (two cam) production run and the start of the 275 GTB/4 (four cam) production run.

Ferrari 275 GTB

The 275 GTB was a two-seat grand touring coup&eacute; produced between 1964 and 1966. The name of this model was derived from the engine&#39;s per-cylinder displacement of 275 cc and the Italian designation Gran Turismo Berlinetta. The 275 GTB used a double overhead cam 3.3 litre Colombo-designed 60&ordm; V-12 engine designated Tipo 213. Power was claimed to be 280 horsepower (210 kW) at 7600 rpm, but provided closer to 240-250 hp (190 kW) in actual use.

Ferrari 275 GTS

The 275 GTS was a two-seat grand touring spider produced from 1964 to 1966. The 275 GTS was introduced at the same time as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/275/gtb/">275 GTB</a> and was mechanically almost identical, sharing the 3.3 liter V12, transaxle, chassis and fully independent suspension. Ferrari reported that the engine fitted to the 275 GTS produced 260 bhp (190 kW). This was less than the reported 280 bhp produced by the 275 GTB, although there was likely no difference in engines between the models.

Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione Speciale

The first racing version of the 275 was the 275 GTB Competizione Speciale (or 275 GTB/C Speciale). Designed under the supervision of Mauro Forghieri, this model was intended to succeed the 250 GTO as Ferrari's GT-class entry during the 1965 racing season. Ferrari constructed four cars of this type, three of which were manufactured between late 1964 and early 1965, while the fourth was completed in 1966. These cars were equipped with Tipo 213 engines tuned to 250 LM specification, producing approximately 290-305 bhp (227 kW). The extra-thin-gauge alloy bodywork (designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti) was significantly different from the production 275 GTB, with a more streamlined shape similar to the 250 GTO and the 330 LMB. All four cars had slightly differing hand-built bodywork, possibly due to ongoing aerodynamic experimentation by Ferrari engineers.

Ferrari 275 GTB/4

Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1966, the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 (or 4-cam) used the same basic platform as the earlier&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/275/gtb/">275 GTB</a> with mostly mechanical improvements. The Scaglietti-built bodywork was largely the same as the series II &quot;long-nose&quot; 275 GTB, with the most visible difference being an added hood bulge with creased edges. The engine was the Tipo 226 3285.72 cc Colombo V12, derived from the earlier Tipo 213 275 engine with two valves per cylinder, but now upgraded with four overhead camshafts and six Weber 40 DCN carburetors as standard. This engine produced a claimed 300 hp (220 kW) and claimed a top speed of 268 km/h (166.5 mph).
