The 365 GTC\u2019s steel body was designed and constructed by Pininfarina<\/a>. It fused together the general design of the 330 GTC and the 275 GTS with that of a nose\u00a0similar to\u00a0the one on the 400\u00a0Superamerica\u00a0and 500 Superfast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The wheelbase was kept at 94.5 inches,\u00a0and they reproduced the\u00a0Kamm-like ducktail rear-end. What set it apart was that the engine compartment had hood slats and not fender louvers, as seen on the 330 GTS.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The defining factor though was under the hood with the 365 GTC having a 320-horsepower, 4.4-liter Colombo V-12 engine, similar to the one on the 365 GT 2+2 that was launched in 1967 at the Paris Auto Salon.\u00a0It had a single-overhead camshaft, three Weber carburetors, and two valves per cylinder. The engine was able to provide more low-end torque and stronger acceleration while maintaining the excellent road manners of the 330 GTC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The block was somewhat longer, with wider bore spacing and bigger bores, and was also deeper so that it could accommodate a longer stroke. This resulted in an additional 20 hp gain to a total of 320 hp, and also an increase to 267 foot-pounds of torque.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
