The 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 embodies the refined elegance of Ferrari’s Series 2 grand tourers, representing a period when Maranello had perfected its four-seat GT formula. By this stage in production, Ferrari had fully embraced the clean, classical styling of the dual headlight configuration while incorporating mechanical refinements that enhanced the driving experience. The 1966 model year holds particular significance in the 330 GT 2+2’s evolution, featuring the improved five-speed manual transmission and the harmonious Pininfarina-designed bodywork that had, by then, found unanimous acclaim among Ferrari enthusiasts.
The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 replaced the provisional Ferrari 330 America in January 1964 and the new car was presented at the Brussels Auto Show. Unlike the Ferrari 330 America, the 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, and other model-years, is significantly different from its Ferrari 250 predecessor terms of design and mechanics. For one, the chassis is 2-inches longer to give more room inside especially in the rear. Koni adjustable shock absorbers were also installed to improve the handling of the car. A five-speed gearbox was fitted over the 4-speed overdrive transmission, and a dual-circuit braking system from Dunlop made the car very easy and comfortable to drive. The engine was a revised version of the Colombo V12 4-Liter, giving the car very decent performances for a 4-seat Grand Tourer. The most important change, however, was that the Series II Ferrari 330 GT had 2-mount positioned engines with hanging pedals. As for design, the 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 was fitted with dual-lights instead of the quad-light front clip of its predecessors, but also redesigned turn signals, and three-piece scoop design air vents. These are just a few of the ways that you can distinguish a Ferrari GT 2+2 from other classic Ferrari models.
Only 625 Series I and 455 Series II Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 models were built before the car was replaced by the Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 in 1967. Each car was unique, slightly different depending on the markets and tailored to the buyers order. Out of the factory, the car originally had Pirelli Cinturato 205VR15 tires (CN72), but some examples upgraded to Borrani wire wheels
