The 330 GTC and 330 GTS (Spider) arrived on the market in 1966 and were closer to the 275 than to the 330 GT 2+2: they featured a short 2400 mm wheelbase and independent suspension at the rear as well. With the GTC, Ferrari occupied the market position that had been held by the 250 GT/Lusso in 1962. Aldo Brovarone styled the body for Pininfarina, combining the front end of the 500 Superfast with the rear of the 250 GTS. The Tipo 209 twelve-cylinder produced 300 PS and drove through a five-speed gearbox. By 1968, 598 units were produced.

Comfort and mechanical details

The short wheelbase and independent rear suspension were carried over from the 275; the tires were also the same, Michelin XWX in size 205VR14. Compared to earlier Ferraris, the models felt more refined, quieter, and easier to drive. The five-speed gearbox matched that of the Series II 330 GT 2+2. The GTC was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966, while the GTS followed in October 1966 at the Paris Motor Show, utilizing the same chassis and drivetrain.

Special versions

In addition to the production cars, there were several coachbuilt specials. In 1966, Pininfarina built four 330 GTC Speciale cars based on the GTC, with custom bodywork incorporating styling elements from the 365 California and other Pininfarina Ferraris; they were introduced in 1967 at the Brussels Motor Show. The 1974 Zagato one-off was shown at the Geneva Motor Show that same year. The Felber FF featured handcrafted aluminum coachwork by Panther Westwinds, who assisted in its development.
