Ferrari 330 GTC classic Italian Grand Tourer car.

The Ferrari 330 GTC, produced between 1966 and 1968, stands as one of the most refined and elegant grand tourers of the 1960s—a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and timeless Italian design. Sitting between Ferrari’s racier berlinettas and the more luxurious 2+2 models, the 330 GTC was aimed at discerning drivers who wanted both high-speed capability and day-to-day usability.
Designed by Pininfarina, the 330 GTC’s bodywork is a masterclass in restrained elegance. The front end borrows from the 500 Superfast, featuring a low, wide grille and subtle chrome accents, while the rear echoes the 275 GTS with its clean, rounded tail and neatly integrated tail lamps. A thin chrome bumper outlines the body’s curves, and the proportions—long hood, short rear deck—exude classic grand touring style.

Under the hood lies the legendary Colombo-designed 4.0-liter V12 engine, producing around 300 horsepower. Paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, the engine delivers a silky yet potent driving experience. The car could accelerate from 0–60 mph in around 6.5 seconds—impressive for the era—and reach a top speed of over 150 mph.

Only about 600 examples of the 330 GTC were produced. It is often praised as one of Ferrari’s most perfectly balanced designs—mechanically robust, aesthetically timeless, and endlessly rewarding to drive. The 330 GTC remains an enduring icon of the golden age of Italian grand touring, embodying the artistry and engineering excellence that made Ferrari a legend.
