The Ferrari 308 is perhaps one of the most recognizable and iconic sports cars of the period. Made famous in television and movies the 308 was the famous Ferrari. The design penned by Leonardo Fiovaranti at Pininfarina became an icon of the 70’s and 80’s. The 308GTB was the replacement for the unloved 308GT4 and the successor to the Dino 246GT at the entry level of Ferrari’s lineup. The transverse 3 liter V8 and 5-speed gearbox were essentially carried over from the GT4 but the rest of the car was treated to a full makeover. Gone was the angular Bertone styling and in its place was a sleek body with the signature side inlets.
In the 308GTB/GTS the four-cam V8 went through several evolutions. Initially a two-valve per cylinder engine with a quartet of Weber carbs it gained Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection in 1980. With performance restored and the addition of better drivability thanks to the fuel injection the 308GTBi was better than ever and remains among the most desirable of the series for collectors and serious drivers. In today’s terms performance isn’t ground breaking but the 308 does offer kart-like handling a magnificent soundtrack and of course that quintessential Pininfarina style.
