“It’s a hard-muscled thoroughbred, the Daytona – easily the most awesome and yet disciplined road-going Ferrari in that firm’s brilliant quarter century of existence. The Daytona isn’t fast – it’s blinding. It will eat up a quarter-mile of asphalt in 13.2 seconds at 110mph and scream out to 175mph.” Racing driver and Car and Driver columnist Patrick Bedard on the new Ferrari 365 GTB/4 in January 1970
