Ferrari 308 GTB / 308 GTS
What is your favorite car of all time?
One of the longest-lived of all Ferraris, the 308 GTB arrived in 1975 with - shock, horror - part-glassfibre bodywork. Its transverse mid-mounted four-cam V8 gave 250bhp and 0-60mph in 6.5sec.Despite glassfibre's lightness and durability, customers forced a change to steel panels in 1977, knocking 4mph off the top speed. The targa-topped GTS version arrived in 1978. Bosch fuel injection from 1981 killed power for the sake of emissions (214bhp, 148mph/238kmh), but four valves per cylinder (Quattrovalvole) in 1983 brought it back up, while an extra269cc in the bodily-identical 328 GTB of 1985 took the stunning Pininfarina flyer to over 160mph (257kmh) and a well-deserved 13-year lifespan.
