Ferrari 400 1979 - 1985

The Ferrari 400 is a grand touring grand tourer launched in 1976, embodying Ferrari's approach to everyday cars with V12 engine and sleek lines. The Ferrari 400 story begins following the withdrawal of the 365 GT4, offering drivers a more accessible alternative to transalpine prestige with its 340 horsepower and affirmed comfort for long journeys. Produced until 1984 in two distinct generations, the first version features hidden headlights and mechanics inherited from its ancestors, while the second phase brings subtle stylistic evolutions and aerodynamic refinements. The Ferrari 400 model fits within the premium segment of German grand tourers such as the Porsche 928 or the Mercedes-Benz SEC, with which it shares the ambition of offering luxury, performance and practicality for a wealthy public concerned with Italian refinement. The Ferrari 400 generations testify to Maranello's transition toward relative democratization, where reliability and durability become as essential as raw sportiness, consolidating the manufacturer's legacy beyond sole circuit performance. Today, the Ferrari 400 used car market remains stable among collectors and passionate Italian automotive heritage enthusiasts, recognizing in these berlinotas their characteristic balance between timeless prestige and mastered daily use.
