Model history

The Ferrari 400i was the further development of the Ferrari 400 and was equipped with electronic fuel injection from the end of the 1970s. As one of the few models with a front engine and 2+2 seats, the 400i combined comfortable travel with sporty performance – especially in the rare version with manual transmission, as in this example. The V12 engine and striking design make it a sought-after classic today.
