The Ferrari 365 GTC/4 Is Far More than a Discount Daytona

The Ferrari 365 GTC/4 has long been treated as a “discount Daytona,” dismissed by purists and nicknamed Il Gobbone for its distinctive front shape. The article argues that storyline misses what the car actually delivers: when finished in the right colors—such as Blu Sera, Pino Verde, or Grigio—it showcases cohesive 1970s wedge styling rather than ugliness. It also claims the GTC/4 is a better choice for drivers who want to use a classic Ferrari, positioning it as more complete than the Daytona it was often compared to. The piece traces attention back to Ferrari’s 1971 Geneva Motor Show context.
