The Mondial was designed to combine the features of a sports car with a comfortable GT. It is the also the car that gets the most shade from Ferrari fans, often called the worst Ferrari ever. Practical, sound great and with loads of room for the kids, the Mondial is the everyday Ferrari. Exterior differences included metric wheels and Michelin TRX tires along with changes to the front grille running lights. Fuel injection also made it easier for federalizers to calibrate the ever-tightening emissions standards. In 1981, further refinements were made for the last series, the 512 BBi, which included Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection with more low-end torque for better tractability and a dual-plate clutch for better city driving. Its new naming convention gave reference to the engine’s 5.0L displacement and the flat 12-cylinder layout. The 512 BB has refinements to the drivetrain, including dry-sump lubrication, an increased compression ratio of 9:2.1 and larger rear wheels for better handling of the added power. The Berlinetta Boxer platform was updated in 1976 with the 512 BB. Gone was the old front-engine 365 GTB Daytona and in was the 365 GT4 BB. The debut of the 365 GT4 BB happened in 1971 at the Turin Motor Show. Race cars were already using a mid-engined layout but it was the Lamborghini Miura that made Ferrari accelerate their plans for a mid-engined supercar. Dino 246 production numbered 2,295 GTs and 1,274 GTSs, for a total production run of 3,569.ĭesigned by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina, the Berlinetta Boxer was the first of the Ferrari mid-engine road cars that changed the supercar market.

Three series of the Dino 246 GT were built, with differences in wheels, windshield wiper coverage, and engine ventilation. Widely regarded as one of the best-handling cars of its era, the Ferrari Dino’s mid-engine layout proved a radical leap in road car design when it was released in 1968. The "Dino" name was a tribute from Enzo to his late son, who had died in 1956 from effects of muscular dystrophy. Enzo chose a V-6 engine design that his son Alfredo (Dino, for short) had helped develop for racing with lead engineer Vittorio Jano.
Designers presented Enzo with sketches of a small, sexy mid-engine sports car and Enzo relented and agreed to build the car, but only if it had a less-powerful engine. The legend goes that Enzo Ferrari was concerned that his buyers did not have the skills to manage a mid-engined sports car. Finally, we create a page for the very rare, very special Ferrari one-offs and Ferrari limited edition models (think less than a few dozen unit cars).įerrari had mid-engine layouts in their racing cars, but to date all of its road cars were front-engined V12s. We create a page for official Ferrari concept cars and the current Ferrari model lineup, as well as a page dedicated to the iconic Ferrari supercars and hypercars.
#2017 LAMBORGHINI MODELS FULL#
We create a separate page for Ferrari Race Cars, where we did into the early Ferrari sports car prototypes and the full list of Ferrari Formula One models too.
There were also too many models on this page so we split the page up. First of all, we added some basic information and a description to each Ferrari model to give you more relevant data. If you have visited this page before you will notice some changes. Also worth noting, if a model is still in production, then it didn't get its own section yet. Classic V12 front-engined Ferraris were grouped together. Current models are first, and then we take you through all the legacy and discontinued Ferrari models. We grouped most of them by family/platform since that is the most logical way. Since the 1970s things have settled down, so it is easier to organize Ferrari models and harder to miss any. As was typical, a bare chassis was delivered to the coachbuilder of the customer's choice. Customers decided on the chassis and engine with the factory and then chose an Italian coachbuilder to make the bodywork.
In the early days of Ferrari, having a custom bodywork was the norm. The early Ferrari road cars are hard to figure out. It wasn't till 1948 that we got the first Ferrari road car, the Ferrari 166 Inter. For eagle-eyed observers, we split this page into several sub-pages so don't freak out and read on before telling us we missed a Ferrari model.įounded by Enzo Ferrari in 1939 out of the Alfa Romeo race division as Auto Avio Costruzioni, the company built its first car in 1940. We took over 70 years of Ferrari amazingness and got it all down on one page. Find the current model list, vintage Ferraris and model lists by year. Painstakingly researched & updated for each model year. Contents: Current Models / Legacy Models / Supercars & Hypercars / One-offs & Specials / Concept Cars / Race Cars Every Ferrari Ever Made
