The 275 GTB built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti was Pininfarina’s last creation, supervised by Pinin himself, and although it may have seemed austere at the time, its classicism, severe elegance and dynamic ‘response’ soon silenced the critics, especially as, with little preparation, it competed successfully. To be more competitive, Ferrari launched the 275 GTB/C in the spring of 1966 with an aluminium body still manufactured by Scaglietti. However, this car was never entered officially and was run in the Prototipo category, as shown by the ‘P’ on the bodywork.
