The Ferrari 400 and Ferrari 412 were front-engine 2+2 coupes designed by the Italian manufacturer Ferrari. They were available with the 5-speed all synchromesh or an optional 3-speed automatic transmission unit from General Motors.

Their design was almost identical and looking like the 365 GT4 2+2 version of the famous Daytona. Production began in 1976, when Ferrari revealed its first car fitted with an automatic transmission - the 400 - at the Paris Motorshow of 1976.

With the improved 412 introduced in 1985 it was phased out in 1989. The sleek, Pininfarina-designed lines and relatively limited production numbers may give it potential as a future classic.

It was not universally loved however, and is listed at #18 in the BBC's book of "Crap Cars", sandwiched between the Daihatsu Applause and the Austin Ambassador.

400 Automatic and 400 GT

The 400 Automatic or 400A used the General Motors Turbo-Hydramatic THM400 automatic transmission, while the 400 GT used a 5-speed all synchromesh transmission.

The engine, based on the Daytona's 4.4 L 268 cu in, was a 4.8 L 294 cu in V12; front mounted and driving the rear wheels, the traditional GT car layout allowed Ferrari to fit four seats into the stylish coupe.

The 400 was improved for 1985 with an increase in displacement to 4.9 L 302 cu in. ABS was offered for the first time on a Ferrari; the manual and automatic transmissions were both retained.

The first 330 America was simply a 250 GT/E with a larger engine, and the 330 GTC/GTS shared their chassis with the 275.

Only the 330 GT 2+2 was a truly unique product. Production ended in 1968 with the introduction of the Ferrari 365 series.

All 330 models used an evolution of the 400 Superamerica's 4.0 L Colombo V12 engine.

It was substantially changed for the 330 cars, it had wider bore spacing and used of a true alternator rather than a dynamo generator.

The 1963 330 America shared the outgoing 250 GTE's chassis but not its engine, being powered by the new Type 209, 300 hp at 6600 rpm, 4.0 L engine.

50 330 Americas were built making them very rare and true collectible cars for any collection.

Model Ferrari 250 GTO

Dave — Wed, 20 May 2009 01:36:07 +0000

Ferrari 250 GTO

The Ferrari 250 GTO was intended and designed to compete in GT racing. The Chief engineer Giotto Bizzarrini put the 3.0 L V12 engine from the 250 Testa Rossa into the chassis from the 250 GT SWB and collaborated with designer Sergio Scaglietti to develop the body.

Soon after Bizzarrini and most other Ferrari engineers were fired in a dispute with Enzo Ferrari, development was handed over to new engineer Mauro Forghieri, who worked with Scaglietti to continue development of the body.

Wind tunnel and track testing was performed. The Farrari 250 GTO unlike most Ferraris was not designed by a specific individual.

This Ferrari was typical of early-1960s Ferrari technology with a hand-welded tube frame, A-arm front suspension, live-axle rear end, disc brakes, and Borrani wire wheels.

The transmission was a five-speed gearbox new to Ferrari GT racing cars; the metal gate that defined the shift pattern would become a tradition that is still maintained in current models.

The interior was very basic, to the point where a speedometer was not installed in the instrument panel.

Its switches came from the Fiat 500, and it was said that as the car was rushed into production, even the cloth seats were made from workers' overalls.
