The Ferrari 400i, produced from 1979 to 1985, was a grand touring coupe that marked a significant shift in the Italian marque's styling and engineering. Replacing the outgoing 365 GT4 2+2, the 400i adopted a more rounded and aerodynamic aesthetic, penned by Pininfarina. This was evident in its smooth lines, flush-fitting windows, and integrated bumpers, deviating from the sharp edges and angularity of its predecessor. Unlike the outgoing model's flat-12 engine, the 400i featured a 4.8-liter V12, which was slightly less powerful but offered smoother performance and a more refined driving experience. This engine, coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivered a combination of power and comfort, making the 400i suitable for both spirited driving and long-distance journeys.

Despite its modern design and advanced engineering, the 400i retained the essence of a classic Ferrari. Its luxurious interior boasted premium leather upholstery, walnut trim, and a dashboard layout that was both driver-focused and elegant. Although the 400i was produced in relatively low numbers, it garnered a dedicated following for its refined performance, distinctive styling, and sophisticated character. The car's legacy continues today, with enthusiasts and collectors recognizing its significance in Ferrari's history, particularly during a period of significant stylistic evolution. The 400i stands as a testament to Ferrari's commitment to creating both timeless and innovative automobiles.
