The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 replaced the 330 America in January 1964 and was far more than a 250 with a new engine. Tom Tjaarda designed the body for Pininfarina with sharper front and rear styling, four headlights, and a wide radiator grille. Output remained at 300 PS, but Koni shock absorbers and a dual-circuit braking system with discs all around improved handling. In 1965, the second series arrived with a five-speed gearbox replacing the four-speed with overdrive; a total of 1099 cars were built before the 365 GT 2+2 followed in 1967.

Technical details
The wheelbase was 50 mm longer than that of the 250 GTE. The Tipo 209 engine was carried over from the 330 America, while the chassis and body were completely new. There was independent suspension up front and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear, supplemented by Koni shock absorbers. The Dunlop brake system had two circuits and discs all around; from the factory, the car rolled on Pirelli Cinturato 205VR15 tires. Initially, a four-speed gearbox with overdrive was fitted.
Two series
The first series featured twin headlights of different sizes, known as "Chinese Eyes." In 1965, Series II followed with single headlights, a five-speed gearbox instead of the four-speed with overdrive, alloy wheels, and optional air conditioning and power steering. Prior to that, 125 "interim" cars were built with the four-headlight nose of Series I, but already equipped with the five-speed gearbox and the hanging pedals of Series II.
