In 1970, a Ferrari Daytona Spider cost around twice as much as an Intermeccanica Italia Spyder. In return, it offered four cylinders and 100 hp more on a comparable footprint, while the driving performance differed less drastically. 45 years later, the Ferrari is worth almost 20 times as much as the Intermeccanica Italia, a difference that is difficult to explain. This report compares the two not-so-different vehicles and shows them in detail in many pictures.
