Description

Beautiful to look at, the 275 GTB had its flaws, such as a tight interior and terrible rear visibility. Whatever. The V12 engine buzzed to 8,000 revs per minute and put out 300 horsepower. At just 2,500 pounds, that meant zero-to-60-mph times of about 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 160 mph. It was the perfect Ferrari, at least as far as the 1960s were concerned. For Enzo Ferrari, the 275GTB and GTS series reaffirmed his company’s stature as a producer of first-class sports cars that, with their stirring mechanical sounds and captivating architecture, became the gold standard for the finest in no-expense-spared pure-bred supercars.
