Modified from the M64, the M65 has a brand new twin cam 1296cc Gordini engine which developed 130bhp at first and 140bhp later on. The engine was also installed on the old M64s which constantly outperformed the newer M65s.
It won twice the 500km of Nurburgring, in 1965 and 1967.
It was clocked doing 268km/h (166mph) at the Mulsanne straight.
