Unquestionably the Ferrari 275 GTB remains among the finest and most desirable sports cars in the world. Over a period of two years Ferrari built just 453 examples of the original 275 GTB before introducing the revised GTB/4 at the Paris Auto Salon in October 1966. But it is the aluminum long nose that has continually captured the imagination of enthusiasts and collectors for decades since its original release. Known for their phenomenal performance the 275 GTB featured the 3 285 cc type 213 SOHC V-12 engine capable of 300bhp at 7 600rpms. The GTB was not only a performance icon of racing it became one of the most sought after road cars during their short production run.
Ferrari historian Dyke Ridgley whose authoritative 275 GTB production list was recently published by Cavallino magazine states that Carrozzeria Scaglietti built only 205 examples with the desirable long-nose body style introduced approximately halfway through 275 GTB production. The updated design was characterized by a revised front-end treatment (increasing the length and surface area for improved aerodynamics) larger rear glass and external trunk hinges. Although the majority of these rare long nose cars were constructed in steel 80 cars were hand formed using lightweight aluminum coachwork. Not only are these beautiful alloy-bodied 275 GTBs more rare than their steel-bodied counterparts they represent the pinnacle of classic dual-purpose berlinettas constructed during this amazing period of Ferrari and motorsports history.
