Ferrari's revolutionary replacement for the legendary 365GTB/4
Daytona was this flat-twelve coupe using the same engine design
developed for their Formula One cars. This horizontally opposed
twin-cam engine was a powerhouse in its day, fed by four
triple-throat Weber carburetors and its mid-ship placement gave the
car phenomenal balance and handling. Boxers have always been
desirable Ferrari collectibles and have been trading in the
mid-six-figures for years, but recent caution in the market has
brought them significantly lower and created an attractive
opportunity.
