The Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider is the open-top variant of the legendary Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, one of the most iconic grand tourers of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Origins & Development


The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona debuted at the 1968 Paris Motor Show as the successor to the Ferrari 275 GTB/4. It was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, featuring a sharp, aggressive design that contrasted with the curvier Ferraris of the past.


Due to its 5-speed manual transmission, front-mounted 4.4L Colombo V12, and 352 hp, the Daytona was one of the fastest cars of its time, capable of reaching a top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h).

The Spider Variant


The 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider was introduced in 1969 at the Frankfurt Motor Show to meet demand for an open-top version of the Daytona. Ferrari commissioned only 121 Spyders to be built between 1971 and 1973, making them significantly rarer than the coupe (which had over 1,200 units produced).

Like the coupe, the Daytona Spider featured a lightweight tubular steel chassis, fully independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes, making it both comfortable and thrilling to drive.


Cultural Impact & Legacy

  1. The Daytona gained pop culture fame through movies, racing history, and TV appearances—most notably, a replica of the Daytona Spyder was used in early seasons of Miami Vice.
  2. The 365 GTS/4 was one of the last front-engine V12 Ferraris before Ferrari shifted focus to mid-engine layouts.
  3. Today, genuine Daytona Spiders are highly collectible, with some examples fetching over $3 million at auctions.

1994 Ferrari 348 Spider – The Last of the Analog Drop-Tops The 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider represents a pivotal moment in Ferrari’s history—a final flourish of pure, analog driving before the digital age took over. With its striking Pininfarina lines, gated manual gearbox, and mid-mounted V8, the 348 Spider is everything a classic Ferrari should be: raw, elegant, and thrilling. Introduced in 1993, the Spider was the first full-production convertible variant of the 348 and the first Ferrari Spider since the iconic 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider. It wasn’t just a 348 with the roof cut off—it was refined, re-tuned, and ready to charm. Design: Classic Ferrari, Open-Air Drama Styled by Pininfarina, the 348 Spider carries sharp, angular lines that echoed the Testarossa, with wide side strakes and a low, aggressive stance. The rear deck was redesigned to house the convertible top, which was manually operated but surprisingly straightforward. It has that unmistakable ’90s Ferrari presence—low-slung, pur...
