One Ferrari that was not trying to be anything more than the best gran tourismo in the world was the 330 GTC. The 330 GTC complimented the more pedestrian 330 GT 2+2 with dramatic two-seat coachwork by Pininfarina and an improved torque tube driveline. Built on the short 2400 mm wheelbase for the 275 GTB and fitted with fully independent suspension with unequal A-arms (both front and rear) and a transaxle, the 330 GTC was as rewarding to drive as Ferraris' designers had intended, winning rave reviews from both journalists and experienced drivers such as paul Frere. The rigid single unit drive train required only four mounts, two on the 3967 cc 300 horsepower engine and two on the 5-speed transaxle and contributed to an exceptionally strong and quiet automobile. Ideally suited to the 330 GTC's place in Ferraris' model lineuo as a luxurious two seat coupe with performance, responsiveness and handling that nearly equalled the Berlinettas.
