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.

    Technik: Der 400 GT (ab 1979 400i genannt) wurde im Herbst 1976 auf dem Pariser Autosalon vorgestellt. Die äußerlich gegenüber dem Ferrari 400 dezent modifizierte Serie 412 debütierte auf dem Genfer Salon 1985. Die Produktion endete 1989. Im Herbst 1979 wurde aus dem 400 GT der 400i mit Bosch-K-Jetronic statt der sechs Weber-Doppelvergaser und 228 kW (310 PS). Im Herbst 1982 erfuhr der 400i eine leichte Auffrischung, die vorrangig das etwas modernere Cockpitdesign des 412 vorwegnahm, der 1985 auf den Markt kam. Ferner wurde das Nockenwellenprofil geändert und der Auspuffkrümmer modifiziert, wodurch die Leistung auf 232 kW (315 PS) stieg. Zusätzlich wurde die Niveauregulierung an der Hinterachse überarbeitet. Vom 400i wurden 883 Exemplare mit Automatik und 422 mit Fünfganggetriebe hergestellt. LG Tom
