Ferrari 328 GTS 1988
General description :
While trading ergonomics for performance is a pretty common idea in the automotive realm, this low-mileage GTS is proof that you don't always have to choose. So, step right up and celebrate comfort AND speed in one of Ferrari's most approachable models!
It's no secret that the 328 is one of the most recognized Ferraris ever produced, and much of that lore is built around the model's dashing Pininfarina-penned profile. In addition to creating a car that advanced the unique design language of the planar 308, Ferrari needed a suitable platform for their fresh 3.2 liter V8. Hence, the 328 was born and, naturally, offered in both GTB coupe and GTS targa models. Over time the 328's retro appeal has been codified by blocky, decidedly '80s bodywork that's pierced by aggressive louvers. And in the case of this classic, those distinctly Italian lines are graced by a fantastic coat of Rosso Corsa pigment.
Employing standard fuel injection and Ferrari's newly minted Quattrovalvole technology, this targa's 3.2 liter DOHC V8 is officially named Tipo F105CB. That storied mill spins a solid 266 horsepower through a 5-speed transaxle. There's a fully independent suspension that's stopped by four disc brakes. And in front of those brakes, attractive alloys spin 205/55R16 Bridgestone Potenzas in front of 225/50R16 Bridgestone Potenzas.
The interior of the GTS is a cocoon of predictable, two-tone luxury. Standard bucket seats sport rich leather hides. Between those seats, a thin console toggles a polished shifter in front of factory climate control. At the front of that console, a warp-free dash frames vintage telemetry and a modern Sony CD player. And in front of the driver, a simple steering wheel laps a familiar prancing horse.

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.
