History
The 5000GT was built at the request of the Shah of Persia as a more exclusive gran turismo than the 3500GT. Chief engineer Giulio Alfieri specified the best components available. Its V8 came from the 450S racing car, and the car used a reinforced 3500GT chassis with servo-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
Only 34 cars were built. The bodies were made by several coachbuilders, including Touring, Pinin Farina, Monterosa, Allemano, Ghia, Bertone, Vignale and Frua. The figures on this page apply to the series as a whole and not to a single body.
