Its rear-mounted transaxle (for optimum weight distribution) had to be ditched for a conventional gearbox and rear axle layout, for example, to enable a rear seating plan to be installed. And to emphasise the GTC\/4\u2019s touring role the Daytona&#8217;s legendary V12 4.4-litre &#8216;Colombo&#8217; V12 was clipped by 32bhp to only 320bhp which \u2013 when an imminently more affordable Ford Capri 1600 GT only unleashed 86 nags \u2013 was still big power by 1971 standards. And while both V12&#8217;s peak torque figures were quoted at a lorry-like 318lb ft, the softer and sweeter engine tune enabled the punch to ooze through at a lazier 4000rpm rather than the Daytona&#8217;s headier five-five on the rev counter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27133 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-765x510.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1972-ferrari-365-gtc4-650b37a763b0b-1800x1200.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In further defence of its GT billing, the cabin was made notably plusher than the Daytona&#8217;s, as well as looking less swinging \u201960s.
