1966 Ferrari 275 GTS Spyder

The GTB/GTB4 has catapulted in value over the past 18 months and dragged the GTS along with it

Ferrari introduced the 275 GTS at the October 1964 Paris show alongside its sibling, the 275 GTB. The two shared the same chassis and driveline, although the GTS engine was more mildly tuned to give 20 horsepower less than the berlinetta at 600 fewer revolutions. These were Ferrari’s first production cars with all-independent suspension. Built on a 2,400-mm wheelbase, the 275 GTS is responsive and maneuverable, and a contemporary test in Road & Track magazine saw a top speed of 145 mph. Although Pininfarina designed both cars, Scaglietti built the berlinetta bodies while the visually distinct spyders came from Pininfarina’s own new factory. The 275 GTS’s design is frequently described as “harmonious,” often elaborated with “compact,” and it remains one of the best-integrated and most pleasing designs ever to grace a Ferrari chassis.
