Summary

Between 1946 and 1966, around two dozen Ferrari 275 GTB/C, i.e. competition versions of the Ferrari 275 GTB, were built. Equipped with lightweight aluminum bodies and more powerful engines, they competed with the GT sports cars from Chevrolet, Porsche, etc. during their active period. Perhaps the most famous of these Berlinettas is chassis number 09079, which was used by Scuderia Filipinetti. This report tells the story of the three-time Le Mans participant and points out special features of the 275 GTB/C.

Preview (beginning of the article)

At the Paris Motor Show in 1964, Ferrari presented a new Gran Turismo as the successor to the 250 GT series, the Ferrari 275 GTB. Compared to its predecessor, the newcomer was significantly more advanced, as it featured independent rear suspension and a five-speed gearbox installed at the rear in a transaxle design. Maranello continued to rely on a tubular frame and the basic engine design of the Colombo V12 was also retained. However, the displacement increased to 3285 cm3 and the output to 280 DIN hp at 7500 rpm despite a slight reduction in compression. The timeless body line was designed by Pininfarina and combined elements of the GTO and the 250 GT Lusso, as Automobil Revue commented at the launch: "The line of the Berlinetta is decidedly sporty in character and is reminiscent of the penultimate model, even somewhat of the 250 GTO racing coupé."
