While retaining the signature Ferrari styling and performance, it introduced a more practical and luxurious grand touring approach. This 2+2 coupe, designed by Pininfarina, offered a spacious interior with comfortable seating for four, along with generous luggage space, making it suitable for longer journeys. The "2+2" nomenclature highlighted its ability to accommodate passengers in the rear, even though the back seats were more suitable for children or smaller adults. The 365 GT4 2+2's design was a bold statement, featuring a long, low-slung profile, a distinctive fastback roofline, and a prominent grille that housed quad headlights. The car's aerodynamically sculpted body was a testament to Pininfarina's design prowess, creating a vehicle that was both beautiful and functional.
Powering the 365 GT4 2+2 was a potent 4.4-liter V12 engine, a masterpiece of Italian engineering.
