Ferrari 308 GTS i '82 1982

General description : Belgian vehicle, Belgian MOT Comes with a lot of recent maintenance invoices Ground-breaking design for decades of further Ferrari design The Ferrari 308 was manufactured from 1975 to 1984. During that decade’s time, it was often considered as the most charismatic of Ferraris, largely due to its prominent role in the American TV series Magnum P.I. Its appearance on tv brought it worldwide recognition, some even called it ‘the most beautiful Ferrari’. Besides that, the Ferrari 308 made Dino merge with Ferrari. Its design later seemed to be ground-breaking, some Ferraris are still based on it. Let’s call it a real icon. In 1975, Ferrari felt that their Dino brand had run its course, thus they ended it at what might be considered a climax, with the Dino 246 and the 308 GT4. At the Paris Motor Show, Ferrari introduced a stunning car designed by the famous Pininfarina, which was Ferrari-fast due to its 3.0 - almost 3.0 - V8 mid-engine that really deserved a real Ferrari badge. During the first two years of production, the 308's frame was entirely made of fiberglass, a featherlight material that had never been used before in mass car production. Because of the fiberglass, the 308 weighed only 1,050 kg (2,315 lbs). In 1977, Ferrari switched to steel as it started also manufacturing the targa version 308 GTS with removable roof panel. In 1980, Ferrari introduced direct fuel injection for the 308, both for the GTB and GTS models, that were from then on called GTBi and GTBi. Again two years later, a new variant was revealed: the Quattrovalvole, the same 308 that produced considerably more power due to the four valves per cylinder. In 1985, the Ferrari 328 succeeded the 308. The 308 had set the standard for Ferrari design, some 90s Ferraris were based on it and it has set tones for sports car design even in the 21st century. An estimate of 12,000 308s were built, which is a lot for a Ferrari model, it was a true success. Because of its high production number, the 308 is an affordable Ferrari with real boasting Ferrari allure. Ferrari 308 GTSi The Ferrari 308 GTSi was revealed in 1980 alongside the GTBi as its counterpart. The ‘i’ represents fuel injection, with which the car was embodied to make the engine run smoother, accelerate more smoothly, and be less polluting. Despite these advantages, the 308 lost some power due to fuel injection. Though, the 308 was still a fast car that even rips modern cars. Its ground-breaking and trendsetting design and the early use of fuel injection make it a coveted classic Ferrari that bears real Italian 80s sporty charisma.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right?
Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.

Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.

Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.

In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
