SPIDER SHOOTOUT!
1966 was an exciting year for devotees of high-performance Italian machinery. Lamborghini grabbed the headlines with its ground-breaking and breathtakingly beautiful Miura, but the tractor maker’s masterpiece is far from being the only Latin supermodel to celebrate its half-century in 2016. Arch-rival Ferrari took the wraps off its quad-cam 275GTB, as well as the 330GTC and the mouth-watering 365 California. Pininfarina’s radical Ferrari 365 Tre Posti made its debut in Paris in the autumn, rubbing shoulders with Maserati’s new Mexico, while the Trident showed off its exciting new Ghibli at the Turin show in November. That’s quite a selection, yet, for all their showbiz glamour, such exotica was little more than window dressing. It was the stuff of dreams that only the wealthiest of buyers could afford. No, the real heroes of 1966 came from more humble stock.
