About the Ferrari 400i in general; This is the last series of true V12 powered sports car from the Ferrari factory in Maranello. With its Pininfarina designed predecessors, the 365 GT4 2+2 and the 400GT, the fuel injected 400i was the next model in line. This series of front engined V12 2+2 Grand Tourers was produced from 1972 to 1989. At the 1976 Paris Motor show, Ferrari unveiled the replacement for the 365 GT4 2+2; the 400. This Ferrari was offered in two models: the 400 Automatic, using a GM THM400 3 speed automatic transmission and the 400 GT, using a 5-speed transmission. The 365's V12 engine had been stroked to a displacement of 4.8 liter. The carburettors on the 400 were replaced with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection in 1979. With 315 HP and a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph) at 6500 rpm the 400i was a true Grand Tourer.

Under the bonnet houses a tipo F101 Colombo V12 that underwent many changes through the years. It consists of alloy heads on an alloy block, four overhead cams, 24 valves and a wet sump lubrication. The transmission is conventionally coupled directly to the engine with a driveshaft to the rear limited slip differential. The steering is servo-assisted and brakes are discs on all four wheels. Suspension consists of double wishbones, coil springs coaxial with the shock absorbers and anti-roll bars all around. The rear axle features a hydraulic self-levelling system. Cast light-alloy wheels with Michelin 240/55 VR 415 TRX tyres were fitted.
