The Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 debuted in the fall of 1967 at the Paris Motor Show and replaced the 330 GT 2+2. Unlike its predecessor, it featured independent suspension all around; it was Ferrari's first four-seater without a live rear axle. Added to this were automatic self-leveling on the rear axle and an intentionally luxurious interior with leather upholstery, power steering, electric windows, and optional air conditioning. With about 800 units in four years, it quickly became the company's best-selling model.

Engineering
The engine was derived from the unit in the 365 California, but, like the 365 GTC, featured dry-sump lubrication instead of wet-sump (Tipo 245). The suspension came from the 330 GT 2+2, but was independent all around, with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers. Automatic self-leveling on the rear axle was new. The 365 GT 2+2 was thus Ferrari's first four-seater without a live rear axle.
Body and equipment
The body was newly developed and was stylistically considered a blend of proven Ferrari elements. The standard equipment was distinctly comfortable and included power steering, electric windows, and a radio. One source lists air conditioning as an option, the other as standard. It was shown in the fall of 1967 at the Paris Motor Show and quickly became the company's best-selling model.
