History

Historical Context

In 1968 Ferrari launched the 365 GTB/4, later nicknamed the Daytona, a limited-run V12 grand tourer produced until 1973. The model’s rarity and racing success set a precedent for exclusive editions, a strategy revived in 2024 when Ferrari unveiled the 12Cilindri, a homage that entered limited production in 2026. This continuity shows how the Daytona’s legacy still shapes Ferrari’s premium market positioning.
