1976 Ferrari 308 GT4

The first series Ferrari with eight cylinder engine - the 308 GT4 - was presented at the 1973 International Motor Show in Paris. The new engine was extremely robust with powerful torque and was mounted in a variety of Ferraris for many years afterwards. For once, the legendary bodywork was designed by Bertone, not Pininfarina. Naturally, the extravagant look sparked an endless stream of enjoyable arguments. Here, Marcello Gandini has created an automotive benchmark that remained underappreciated for many years. But what is truly remarkable about the 308 GT4 is that it was likely the most enjoyable Ferrari to drive of its time. In total, 2,826 308 GT4s were built over the six years it remained in Ferrari’s programme.
