Introduction
The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 is a refined grand touring Ferrari, designed for comfort and long-distance driving while still delivering classic V12 performance.
As the successor to the 250 GTE, the 330 GT introduced improved interior space, smoother handling, and modernised engineering for its time.
