03/04/2008 - 06/04/2008 - Maranello
365 GTB4 Anniversary Tour
Launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1968, the 365 GTB4 was to be the last in a long line of front-engined sporting berlinettas, right up until the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1996.
The car quickly became a performance icon - with a sub-6 second 0-60 mph time and an official top speed of 174 mph - and was soon dubbed "Daytona" by aficionados in recognition of the Ferrari 1-2-3 victory in the Daytona 24-Hour Race in 1967.
To celebrate the model's introduction Ferrari is organising a special event for a maximum of 40 cars (both 365 GTB4s and GTS4s) which begins on Thursday April 3rd with the accreditation of the participants in Maranello and concludes at 16:00 on Sunday April 6th at Mugello in occasion of the 2nd Historic Festival.

I've asked the only person with a Daytona that I know, but he said he just heard way too late about it. It was only on the Owners' site a week ago. I hope they'll get 40 together, it should be a great event.

Ferrari was also very late in announcing the F40 event last year. As a result several owners could not go. Seems they did not learn from past mistakes....

Turnout was apparently quite bad. Ferrari only had 20 Daytonas in attendence.

Despite being the owners of one of the most valuable brands on the planet, Ferraris marketing is really quite bad.
