This Ferrari 308 has been built into a nice track ready homage to the famed 288 GTO homologation special. The car has SCCA and SVRA logbooks, and all the bodywork can be rapidly removed. Find it here on the Production Car board in Pittston, Pennsylvania for $80k.
Standard Ferrari 308s are special cars, to be certain, but the GTO is something else entirely. The massive fenders hide equally stout slicks on centerlock alloys, and look spectacular. Once the bodywork has been removed, it’s clear that this car has been built for the track, with the big front-mounted fuel cell and extensive roll structure.
This car hasn’t gone all the way mechanically to the extremes of the GTO–it still retains a naturally-aspirated, transversely mounted engine, rather than the longitudinal twin-turbo V8 of the real thing. Few details are given about the engine build, unfortunately. It does have an Electromotive crank-fired iginition system, as shown to the left.
It’s a nice balance between the 60′s vintage Ferraris that are too precious to see track time, and the modern cars that might be just a bit too quick for less-experienced drivers. The next driver of this car would do well to grow a mustache and find some Hawaiian-patterned Nomex.
