Description
The Ferrari 308 GTS is a car that epitomizes the golden era of Ferrari design and engineering. Introduced in 1977 as a targa-top variant of the 308 GTB, the GTS became an instant icon, blending Pininfarina’s timeless design with exhilarating performance.
The 308 GTS is renowned for its sleek and flowing lines, sculpted to perfection by Pininfarina. Its low-slung profile, pop-up headlights, and distinctive air intakes on the rear haunches make it unmistakably Ferrari. The removable targa roof panel adds a sense of freedom, allowing drivers to experience the roar of the V8 engine in the open air. The cabin is a masterpiece of classic Italian craftsmanship, featuring a gated shifter, analog dials, and luxurious leather upholstery that creates a truly immersive driving experience.
At the heart of the 308 GTS is a 2.9-liter carburetted V8 engine, delivering 255 horsepower to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. The carburetted version of the 308 GTS is especially revered for its raw, mechanical sound and throttle response, offering a visceral connection between driver and machine. With a top speed of around 240 km/h (149 mph) and a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 6.5 seconds, the 308 GTS was a serious performer in its day.
Today, the Ferrari 308 GTS carburetted is a highly sought-after classic, prized for its design purity and analog driving experience. Its status as one of the last carburetted Ferraris adds to its allure, making it a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts alike. Well-maintained examples continue to appreciate in value, a testament to its enduring appeal.
The car we have on offer has been fully restored to a stunning level, being finished in red over beige leather interior with 94444km indicated. It is a superb example, and the carburetted version doesn’t come by very often making this an ideal opportunity to obtain a legend in Ferrari’s model history. The Ferrari 308 GTS is more than just a car; it’s a symbol of a bygone era when driving was as much about passion as it was about performance. For those lucky enough to own one, it represents a timeless piece of automotive art and a gateway to pure driving pleasure.
