1967 60s sixties Silver FERRARI 275GTB; at the Southport Classic car and Speed event on the seafront promenade. UK
First unveiled at the 1964 Paris Motor Show alongside its drop-top sibling, the 275 GTS, the 275 range was an impressive successor to the 250 series that was warmly welcomed by the public. The 275 GTB is one of the most iconic road cars Ferrari has ever produced. It retained so many beautiful characteristics from its predecessors within the 250 series, yet had multiple credible improvements both in its design and performance. Despite its more obvious exterior features which distinguished it from the 250 range, the 275 used a litre version of the V12 Colombo engine which produced approximately 300 horsepower and was equipped with all-round independent suspension. Other changes included the reduction in engine height which contributed to the car having a lower centre of gravity and a rear-mounted 5-speed transaxle gearbox. This was the first time that Ferrari had integrated both of these features, thus greatly improving its handling. The 275 was capable of achieving 60 mph in just over 6 seconds and had an astonishing top speed of 160 mph, a speed which was and is still considered ludicrous among road cars within that era.
