The Ferrari 330 series, introduced in the 1960s, holds a special place in the marquee's storied history. It embodied the Italian automaker's pursuit of high-performance grand touring, unveiling various models that included the 330 GTC, 330 GT 2+2, 330 GTS, and the 330 P series race cars.
The name "330" indicates the approximate displacement for each cylinder in cubic centimeters, derived from the car's 4.0-liter, Colombo-designed V12 engine. This engine was a significant development at the time, offering larger displacement compared to its 3.0-liter 250-series predecessor.
