Soon after the Ferrari 330 GTC’s unveiling at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari introduced a companion Spider variant: the 330 GTS. The GTC and GTS were built on the same tubular chassis, which was very similar to that of the contemporary 275 GTB. In fact, all three cars featured the same mechanical layout, incorporating a fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a five-speed, rear-mounted transaxle with torque-tube driveshaft. The GTC and GTS were equipped with Ferrari’s magnificent four-liter, two-cam V-12, which delivered a genuine 300 bhp at 6,600 rpm and an impressive torque curve. Designed and built by Pininfarina, the 330 GTS was the epitome of mid-sixties GT styling. The harmonious, understated design was a successful update of the popular 275 GTS, incorporating a new frontal treatment inspired by the 500 Superfast, Ferrari’s most exclusive gran turismo.
