Story
Ferrari unveiled the 400i at the Turin Motor Show in November 1979.
It arrived as the most expensive Ferrari available and joined a line up that initially comprised the 512 BB, the 308 GTB / GTS and the 308 GT4.
The 400i was the first production Ferrari to be equipped with fuel-injection; over the next couple of years, Ferrari also went on
to replace its carb-fed Flat 12 and V8-engined models (the BB and 308) in a similar fashion.
Ferrari was neither the first nor the last high end European manufacturer to make the switch to fuel-injection.
Porsche had begun to use the system for their production cars in 1972 while the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Maserati had done so way back in the 1950s.
By contrast, although Lamborghini and Aston Martin had already added injection systems to their cars sold in
the USA (and some other markets), they didn’t drop carburettors for their most potent variants until 1990.
Ferrari turned to Bosch to supply a suitable system; the German firm’s eponymous K-Jetronic installation was the benchmark in mechanical fuel-injection.
It gave a smoother power delivery, was easier to maintain and helped greatly when it came to reducing emissions.
