5. 1976 Ferrari 400 Automatic
This game-changing Ferrari was a response to customer tastes.
Peter Monteverdi, the Prancing Horse’s former man in Switzerland until he and Enzo fell out, revealed that most of his Ferrari customers were older gentlemen and preferred automatic gearboxes.
Eventually, by 1976, the marque saw the opportunity and, with a name change from the 365GT4 2+2 and more power from a 4.8-litre V12 engine, introduced an automatic gearbox.
The THM400 three-speeder came from General Motors and helped the car reach 60mph in 7.1 secs.
