At the 1976 Paris Auto Salon, Ferrari introduced the new 400 2+2, its replacement for the 365 GT4 2+2.

Featuring distinctively angular styling by Pininfarina, the 400 continued to provide luxurious and spacious high-speed transportation for up to four passengers, powered by a front-mounted 4.8-liter V-12 engine with dual overhead camshafts.

Precise handling was provided by power steering and a fully independent suspension with self-leveling actuators at the rear.

Both a five-speed manual gearbox and a proven GM Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 automatic transmission were available, encouraging broad appeal for the new model.

Fuel injection was added in 1979—thereby creating the 400i, and by 1982, Ferrari had also revised the interior upholstery, switchgear, and bodywork to its final form.

These post-update examples also received reprofiled camshafts, new headers, and reworked fuel management which together boosted peak performance up to 315 horsepower.
