The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' is one of the most significant
models in the history of the world's most famous car company.
As well as
revolutionising the company's styling, the Daytona was the most
powerful road car Ferrari had produced at that time, and would
sell in large numbers
around the world. Even today, the car is an icon in performance
car terms, and one to which Ferrari owes much of its reputation
as the builder of the
greatest road cars. The Daytona came at a time when Ferrari
was dominant in sports car racing with its sports prototypes,
and the road cars the company developed were increasingly distanced
from the racing cars with their associated improvements in reliability
and creature comforts.
In the word of one enthusiast, "There is no greater adrenaline
pump". With its brutally aggressive yet somehow classically
elegant lines and such a
wonderful 4.4 litre four-camshaft V12 under its bonnet, there
was nothing that could challenge it when new, and precious little
that can do so today.
True, such cars have never been considered easy to drive, but
then again the best things in life always demand a little more
commitment. Indeed a motor car such as the Daytona, once mastered,
can provide thrills beyond its owner's wildest expectations.
