The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a supplement to the Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the Dino 246. It was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti who had been responsible for some of Ferrari's most celebrated shapes to date such as the Daytona. the Dino and the Berlinetta Boxer. The 308 used elements of these shapes to create something very much in contrast with the angular GT4 2+2. The GTB/GTS was a 2-seater with sweeping curves and aggressive lines. and has become one of the more recognizable and iconic cars produced by Ferrari to date. The targa topped 308 GTS was introduced in 1977 and was made famous on the television series Magnum. P. I. Several cars were used. a new one for each season. most being auctioned off after filming. The first was a 1979 model with chassis number 28251. The mechanically similar 308 GT4 shared much with the original Dino. and the 308. Both sit on the same tube-frame platform. with a 92 in wheelbase for the 308 GTB (the 308 GT4 has a longer wheelbase. being a 2+2). and 4-wheel double wishbone independent suspension. The V8 engine is a DOHC design. with four Weber 40DCNF carburetors. European versions produced 255 hp SAE at 6600 rpm (7700 rpm redline). but American versions were down to 240 hp SAE at 6. 00 rpm due to emissions control devices. A notable aspect of the early 308 GTB was that. although still built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti. the 308's bodywork was entirely made of glass-reinforced plastic (or GRP). allowing a very light weight of 2. 15 lb. The engine borrowed its dry-sump lubrication from Ferrari's racing experience. This lasted until June. 1977. when the 308 was switched to steel. resulting in an. alleged. 150 kg additional weight. However. a steel-bodied GTB only weighs 26 lb more than its fiberglass body counterpart. All steel versions of the 308 GTS have a conventional wet-sump engine while GTB models retained the dry sump lubrication until 1981.

There were 12. 04 308s produced from 1975 to 1985. Only 712 of the first fiberglass version were made. The 308 models are embraced by Ferrari fans and critics today. In 2004. Sports Car International named this car number five on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s. Test performance. 308 GTB ): Weight (curb with 74 l fuel) 2. 78 lb. acceleration 0-100 mph 15. 0s. 100–200 km/h 17. 8s. top speed 159 mph.

Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection was added for the 1980 308 GTBi and GTSi. dropping power to 214 hp but decreasing emissions. Two years later. the 4-valve per cylinder Quattrovalvole or QV model pushed output back up to 240 hp restoring the performance. Our Ebay Policies:
