This page covers the following models :
At the Paris Motorshow of 1976 Ferrari
revealed its first car fitted with an automatic transmission, the 400A.
This was a revised 365 GT4 2+2 with a larger 4823cc
development of the V12 engine. The transmission was a three-speed GM unit.
A manual model, the 400GT, was launched at the same time. The body remained
essentially the same as the 365 GT4 2+2. A total of 354 automatic models
and 147 manual cars were built.
In 1979 the engines gained a Bosch K-Jetronic
fuel injection system which (due to emissions control systems) dropped the power down to 310bhp. This car
continued in production until 1985 by which time 884 automatic and 424
manual versions had been produced.
