Ferrari Daytona 365 Book – Volume One:

Volume 1 explores the full spectrum of the Daytona’s road-going legacy, covering both the GTB/4 and the GTS/4.

It delves into the differences between EU-spec and US-spec examples, from the revolutionary Plexiglass headlamps to the American pop-up solution.

The book explores the collaborative history between Pininfarina and Ferrari – alongside Scaglietti – that led to the creation of the Daytona, along with its lasting influence on modern automotive design, seen in models like the Ferrari 465, SP3, and 12Cilindri, and even in unexpected places like the Peugeot 405.
