Ferrari 288 GTO
Produced for Group B competition, which required a production run of at least 200 but was cancelled in 1986, the GTO was considered special enough to receive one of Ferrari's most famous model names. Designed at the factory, it resembled the 308 GTB and used that car's engine, but now the 3-litre V8 was mounted north/south rather than east/west and with twin turbochargers and electronic fuel injection, it pumped out over 400bhp, with 366lb/ft torque at 3800rpm. The 288 GTO is easily distinguished by its high door mirrors, but less obvious is that the wheelbase is 4.4in longer, mainly to accommodate the different engine position. Ferrari claimed a top speed of 190mph/305kmh and 0-60 in five seconds.
