Bangkok. Ferrari 365 GTB4 Daytona at Central Embassy Mall

A group of wonderful old Ferrari cars were exhibited at the Central Embassy Mall.
365 GTB4 Daytona



Some technical details:

The engine, known as the Tipo 251 and developed from the earlier Colombo V12 used in the 275 GTB/4, was a 4.4 L (4,390 cc) DOHC V12 with a 60° bank angle featuring six Weber twin carburettors (40 mm Solex twin carburettors were used alternatively). 

At a compression ratio of 9.3:1, it produced 352 hp and could reach 280 km/h. 0-60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration was just 5.4 seconds.


The five-speed manual transmission (of the transaxle concept) was mounted in the rear for optimal weight distribution, and a four-wheel independent suspension featured wishbones and coil springs.
