Ferrari and Le Mans, this combination is closely related, not only by the GT successes of modern times. Shortly after the brand was founded, the Maranello racers took part in this long-distance classic that Enzo Ferrari knew from before World War 2 when he was in charge of Alfa Romeo’s factory team. In 1968, when the new 365 GTB\/4 debuted, it should actually remain a pure street sports car. However, there were quick inquiries from customers, especially from the US, who saw the potential in the front-engine V12 coupe and wanted to explore this on the racetrack. So began the work on a racing variant, which should receive a lighter aluminum body at the request of US importer Luigi Chinetti. <\/span><\/span>Chinetti had been operating NART, the North American Racing Team, since 1957, and deployed the first prototype of the 365 GTB \/ 4 Competizione with chassis number 12547 in training at the 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours but there the car was damaged so that a race start <\/span>was out of the question. \n\n“>It was followed by a race start at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1970, where the Ferrari failed to finish.

\n\n“>Meanwhile<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> at Ferrari, based on a production vehicle, the second prototype with chassis number 12467 and only slightly modified steel body was created.<\/span> The NART team received this car on June 10, 1971, just in time for the training runs for the 24-hour race at Le Mans, to which it was delivered directly.<\/span> In order to meet the strict requirements of the Group 4 regulations, Ferrari had previously prepared the car extensively right next to the factory building in Maranello at Carrozzeria Sports Cars.<\/span> <\/span>This included the installation of a circuit breaker for the on-board electrical system, a reverse lock, a roll cage and other minor modifications.<\/span> <\/span>To save a little weight, they exchanged the side windows and the rear window for plexiglass.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>Air baffles on the front fenders, wheel arch extensions all around, removed bumpers and a \n\n“>quick-fit nozzle<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> deep-drawn in the body rounded off the package.<\/span><\/span>
