The Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona is accepted today as perhaps the most charismatic and exciting of all front-engined road cars from the legendary Italian manufacturer. Here the classic model is described in detail and road-tested by leading racing journalist and Ferrari historian Doug Nye, and by former Ferrari works Formula 1 and sports car driver Paul Frere, who won the mighty Le Mans 24-Hours race three times in the cars. The Daytona is much more than just a classic production road car. It is also an extremely high-performance supercar, the last in the long line of front-engined V12 Ferrari exotics before the advent of their mid-engined flat-12 Boxer Berlinetta. Competition versions of the Daytona ruled the International GT category in their heyday through the early-'seventies, and shone particularly at Le Mans, the race where their open-topped forebears had created such dominance in years gone by. Here you will find the story of the Daytonas and a unique photo-portfolio on one of the best-preserved road-going examples, and on their years of supreme success in the Le Mans 24-Hours race classic. No lover of World Supercars should miss this book...
