The Four-Door Dream.

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the Ferrari Pinin, the world’s only four-door Ferrari saloon and a symbol of bold design vision.

Unveiled at the 1980 Turin Motor Show to celebrate Pininfarina’s 50th anniversary, the Pinin was the brainchild of Sergio Pininfarina, who dreamed of a Ferrari to rival the luxury saloons of other brands. Built on a Ferrari 412 chassis, the sleek concept featured revolutionary design details: flush-mounted glass, hidden wipers for better aerodynamics, cooling-focused wheel blades, and futuristic “computerized” interior controls.

Though it never reached production, the Pinin left a lasting impression on Enzo Ferrari and the world. A vision that still fascinates automotive enthusiasts today, 45 years later.

Classic Cars That Are Quietly Skyrocketing in Value

1976 to 1989 Ferrari 400 and 412

Original retail price: Around USD $37,000
Current value: USD $59,900
5-year trend: Up 50% since 2019

The Ferrari 400 is possibly the most affordable way to get into a V12 Ferrari from the Enzo era. It’s still got the design language of the seventies, a genuine Colombo V12 under the hood, and enough room in the back to make it almost practical. 

Its major flaw? A three-speed automatic transmission built by GM. Still, the value has risen steadily over the past few years, and there’s a growing niche of buyers who see the 400 and 412 as underappreciated classics. If you want an old-school Ferrari without paying vintage Ferrari money, this is your moment.

Ferrari Engine Comparison - Colombo 330GT vs 400GT by Tom Yang

 I compare two Colombo V-12 engines at my shop. One is out of a 300GT 2+2 and another is out of a 400GT. The 330 is a two cam 4 liter engine and the second one is a 4.8 liter 4 cam engine. They're similar in design, but very different in shape and layout.

Restauto Modena - Ferrari 400 bare metal - body paint

This year I missed out my yearly IHWC car trip to Italy. One of the places they visited was Giuseppe Candini in Modena. Next to this company there was another shop specialized in classic car repair/painting. On one of the photo's they shared I spotted this Ferrari 400 on the left. As you can see, it had been undergoing a thorough job and received it's first layer of coating. The wheel arche is still having bare metal. Nice to see this 400 gets such good quality treatment.

There is a lot of tricky lead work needed to make shape of the front end on 400/412s. Particularly getting the front indicator units to fit. Each car is hand shaped from new.
This is probably my oldest Maranello picture, from 1986/87.

Yeah, when I started there in 1984, the first job I was given as an apprentice was a small repair on a Mondial qv. It was only a couple of months old. Ferrari owners do use their cars and they do get banged up. The 400 shaped cars were probably the last new cars to have so much hand finihing/shaping. They used a lot of lead, tricky to do but very satisfying.

Australia : Stolen Ferrari 400I SALOON | 400I - VIN25011

A bit late but it only showed up on my radar today. I'm not familar with this website either so I don't know if it's a trusted source. 

https://www.propertyvault.com.au/carvault/stolen/83805/stolen-car-ferrari-400i-saloon-400i

Stolen from CABOOLTURE, QLD on 17 March 2025

The provided photo is unlikely the car in question. VIN 25011 is indeed indicating towards a 1978 Carburettor model (and not a 400i) Besides the description does mention it's color is black.
