The 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione emerges ahead in most objective measures, offering more power, greater rarity, stronger collectibility. The 1971 Maserati Bora 4.9 counters with its unique character, but the numbers favor its rival. Still, both are remarkable machines, and the final choice often comes down to which driving experience speaks to you.
The 1971 Maserati Bora 4.9 and 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione stand as two of the most notable Supercar cars from Muscle era. Both emerged during a period of intense competition, and choosing between them remains a passionate debate among collectors. The 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione holds a clear advantage in raw power with 450 hp compared to 320 hp, a 130-horsepower difference that shapes the driving experience. Under the hood, the contrast is notable: the Maserati Bora uses a V8 displacing 4,930 cc, while the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione relies on a V12 with 4,390 cc. Rarity plays a significant role here — with only 15 units built, the 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione is considerably scarcer than the Maserati Bora's 564 examples. From a collectibility standpoint, the 1971 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione rates higher among enthusiasts and auction houses.
