Times are about to change (the Ferrari Purosangue is coming), but a sporty crossover would have been considered a sort of blasphemy during Enzo Ferrari’s life. However, the autocratic founder of the brand from Maranello did not hate sedans. He was adamant in believing that Ferrari, as a manufacturer of exclusive sports cars, should never produce automobiles with more than two doors. After all, il Commendatore had his reasons. 4 photos
The growth of the market for fast luxury sedans was a clear trend during the late sixties and early seventies. Maserati had entered the segment, Alfa Romeo and BMW joined it later, and even at Ferrari, there were opinions saying this opportunity should not be ignored. Drawings of a Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 with four doors confirm this.
