1968 Ferrari 365 GTC

1968 was the first year that Ferrari produced the 365 GTC.  It was a car that-was only produced until 1970, but it still had the chance to make its mark on sports car-history.  It had taken over from the 330 GTC, and there were not many things that were new for-this version.  There were changes made to the way that the engine was ventilated, but in terms-of the overall mechanical and physical structure of the vehicle it would remain fairly-recognizable.

As was always the case with Ferrari, this was an automobile was a very impressive-engine.  It sported a V12 power plant that was very similar to its predecessor, the 330-GTC.  The difference with this engine was that it provided more torque, and therefore gave a-more refined drive.  Still, there was 320 horsepower available to the driver and it meant that-even though this car was not the fastest Ferrari, it would still take off from a standing start in a-big hurry.

Racing is something that Ferrari had always been good at, and it set out with this-car to produce something that was going to be impressive as a luxury sports car for the individual-driver.  The handling was excellent, and despite the fact that cornering was not as good as-some of the cars built for racing it managed the curves with impressive dexterity.
