“The Ferrari is a dream – people dream of owning this special vehicle and for most people it will remain a
dream apart from those lucky few” – Enzo Ferrari
The 308 Quattrovalvole model was introduced in 1983 and adopted a 32-valve cylinder head. It features a 240 bhp,
2,926 cc DOHC 32-valve 90-degree V-8 engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, five-speed manual transmission
with a clutch-type limited slip differential, independent front and rear A-arm suspension with coil springs and
telescopic shock absorbers, 16 inch Speedline wheels and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes.
Other changes for this model included a rear spoiler and additional louvers between the headlamps to aid with
cooling. It was offered in both a coupe version and as an open-air model, the GTS, which boasted a targa-style
removable roof panel that could be stowed behind the rear seats when not in use. Just 3,042 Spyders would be
produced during its three-year model run. The 308 is most notable for playing a starring role in the 80's TV show
Magnum, P.I. with actor Tom Selleck behind the wheel.
The factory yellow with tan interior color combination on this example is extremely rare. The paint looks fantastic
and the leather interior is in excellent shape considering its age. The audio system has been upgraded with the
stock Alpine unit available at buyer’s request. Aesthetically, the car is stunning to look at and its visual
condition is simply breathtaking. The GTS version of the Ferrari 308 features a targa top that can easily be
removed by a single person.
As expected, the car is garage kept and has an extensively documented service history. The service history along
with parts, workshop and original owners manuals are included in the sale. The vehicle has been meticulously
maintained and serviced regularly; with its most recent major service in August of 2012. The attention to detail
taken during its servicing is clearly evident in the firm ride, strong engine and throaty rumble from the Stebro
exhaust.

How this Ferrari 250 GTE became Rome's most famous police car
Mon, 26 Aug 2013We're used to seeing fancy cars gifted to or bought by certain international police forces today, but the story of this 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE goes well beyond a gift. Because Rome's anti-organized-crime unit, Squadra Mobile, was doing a terrific job in the early '60s, the Italian president asked what they wanted as a token of appreciation. The answer, meant as a joke, was "A Ferrari." The president, in all seriousness, got them two.
One was almost immediately destroyed during testing, the other remains in the care of Alberto Capelli today, whose father began attending military and government auctions just after World War II. Petrolicious visited Capelli to hear the 51-year-old tale of the most precious cop car you're going to see for a while, and it involves outlaws, a French gangster in a Citroën, a policeman who was offered a spot on the Ferrari factory team by Enzo himself, and more. It's a fantastic yarn, and you can watch the whole story below.
Race Recap: 2014 Austrian Grand Prix is old-school front row, new-school racing
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The last time Formula One raced in Spielberg, Austria the track was called the A1 Ring, Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher were the pilots for Williams, the field contained other not-so-venerable names like Ralph Firman and Justin Wilson and V10 engines were bolted to the bulkheads - the only Mercedes units being in the backs of the two McLarens, one of which was driven by Kimi Räikkönen, who finished second behind Michael Schumacher.
The return to an old-school Formula One track - now called the Red Bull Ring - after 11 years away put an old-school team on the front row, Felipe Massa in a Williams getting his first pole position since 2008, followed by teammate Valtteri Bottas. Behind them came Nico Rosberg in the first Mercedes AMG Petronas, Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari, Daniel Ricciardo for Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Kevin Magnussen for McLaren, Danil Kvyat in his Toro Rosso, Räikkönen in the second Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton in the second Mercedes way back in ninth - he'd spun on his final timed lap after having his previous effort disqualified for going wide at Turn 8 - Nico Hülkenberg in the Force India in tenth after opting not to set a time at all in Q3.
It's a shame the well of nostalgia wasn't deep enough to give us some proper old-school racing.
1989 Ferrari F40 review had one Italian cyclist seeing rosso
Thu, 14 Aug 2014We've got to say: we're really enjoying the MotorWeek incarnation of this Throwback Thursday trend that seems to be enveloping everyone's social media feeds. MW has an almost impossibly deep library of historical tape to draw from, meaning each recent Thursday has met with another gem dropped on YouTube.
The last old-timer that drew our interest (and yours, based on all the comments) was a sports car showdown of epic, 1990s proportions. Today though, we've got one of the most legendary supercars of all time, the Ferrari F40, presented with the wholesome goodness that is John Davis' signature style. Any classic road test of the the F40 would probably earn our clicks, but this particular video comes with some added drama around the 5:10 mark.
Don't rush there, it's fun to listen to the period-correct praise along the way, but prepare yourself for a near-miss that's almost as breathtaking as the Ferrari itself.
