The Ferrari 308 is the quintessential classic Ferrari. In 1975, Ferrari presented the world its new 308 GTB at the Paris Motor Show, a transverse mid-engined, rear-wheel drive two-seater to replace the Dino 246 GT and GTS. The 308 GTB was designed by Pininfarina and its production lasted until 1985 when a newer model was built. The engine was a V8 of a 90-degree configuration, with two belt-driven overhead camshafts, and 4 valves per cylinder in the latter Quattrovalvole version. The 308 had a tube frame with glass-fibre plastic body. Production stopped in 1985 with the 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole being the last model.
The Ferrari 308’s body was designed by Pininfarina’s Leonardo Fioravanti, who was responsible for some of Ferrari’s most celebrated shapes up to that date. The 308 used elements of these shapes to create something very much in contrast with the angular Bertone-designed GT4. GTS models featured a removable roof panel with grained satin black finish, which could be stowed in a vinyl cover behind the seats when not in use. All models used a fully synchromesh 5-speed “dog-leg” manual gearbox and a clutch-type limited slip differential. Suspension was all-independent, comprising double wishbones, coaxial coil springs and hydraulic dampers, and anti-roll bars on both axles.
