Most 308s for sale are average; this 308 GTB is exceptional in all aspects. Here are a few highlights on this Rosso Corso beauty.
Low original mileage (approx. 13,000 mi) Platinum FCA winner Coppa Bella Machina winner 270 HP engine (stock appearance)
The rule of thumb in the classic car world is to buy the best example of a certain model you can. Without a doubt, this 308 is the one. The cost to restore an average 308 GTB to this standard would far exceed the price to buy this example.
308 GTB (30089) has a well documented past with service records, tools, books, etc. A look at the photos of this outstanding example will reveal the quality of the car.
The
mechanicals are fresh with a major service done a year and a half ago. The
engine was rebuilt and improved recently. A dyno test certification comes with
the car. Details are on the Carobu Engineering website.
“This 308 engine rebuild represents a request for more power without hurting drivability or going nuts with the cost. One of the goals of the project was to retain the basic appearance and performance feel of the original engine, but with increased horsepower. In the opinion of many, this should have been the standard specification engine on the 308 series from the beginning and, eventually, the 328 series produced this power (years later).
The internal engine modifications were Stage 1 specification; higher compression, forged pistons; upgraded rod bolts; longer duration cams; improve head flow and careful dyno tuning.”
The clutch, water pump and steering rack were all replaced recently. The radiator has been updated with a more efficient and much lighter aluminum version. The Koni shocks were rebuilt and upgraded to include adjustable ride-height. 16” factory alloys and performance tires complete the high-performance chassis. This Ferrari needs nothing and is ready to be enjoyed.
A look at the body shows a meticulous attention to detail. The bumpers are the highly desirable Euro-type that are lighter and better looking than the heavy (some say ugly) US bumpers. The wheels are in concours shape with the proper 16” tires.
The interior continues this theme and is in excellent condition with only light driver’s seat wear from normal use. The original Blaupunkt radio is included, but it has been replaced by a modern Blaupunkt San Francisco with CD player. The steering wheel shows almost no wear, the dash is perfect and the gauges/controls are still fresh. The pedals have aluminum covers (F40 style).
The driving experience is what Enzo intended. This 308 drives straight, handles well, brakes hard and accelerates better then a 328. The sound from the light-weight stainless steel Tubi sport muffler is hair-raising while the shifting action is smooth and crisp. A light-weight flywheel adds to the performance feel of the engine. And this 308 is light weight too, with the overall car weight cut down by 200 lbs. This gives the GTB a responsive feel missing on most US model 308s. Included in the sale are the following. The original smog equipment and air pump. Original rubber pedal pads. Blaupunkt radio/tape player. Air conditioning compressor. Copies of receipts for work done. Books/tools/jack. 14" factory wheels with XWX tires are available at additional cost and are not included in the sale.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.
Pininfarina Ferrari Sergio updated for very limited production [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015We first met the Pininfarina Sergio concept at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And while we figured it'd just be a purely conceptual creation, the Italian design house, in collaboration with Ferrari, have worked to bring it into production, albeit with a very, very, very limited run. The road-going version of the car, now called the Pininfarina Ferrari Sergio, makes its debut here at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, with things like, you know, a windscreen, and other necessary elements for use on the road. The car is meant to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Pininfarina working with Ferrari, and only six examples will be produced for private customers. With the Prancing Horse tie-in, it'll come as no surprise to learn that the Sergio is based on the 458 Spider, though we aren't sure if we like the custom Pininfarina body work as much as the standard Ferrari on which its based. Still, it's a unique creation, and you can check it out for yourself in the gallery above.

Jeep and Ram could be spun off from FCA, says Marchionne
Thu, Apr 27 2017Jeep is surely the biggest single feather left in the cap of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles portfolio. Under Sergio Marchionne's leadership, Jeep went from fewer than 500,000 annual sales in 2008 to 1.4 million in 2016, and is on track for 2 million by 2018. Add in the brand's legacy, status as one of the most recognizable nameplates in the world, and rabid fan base, and Jeep has extraordinary monetary value to its parent company. Investors and analysts have certainly noticed Jeep's inherent value. According to The Detroit Free Press, Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas asked FCA chief Sergio Marchionne if he would ever consider spinning Jeep and Ram, FCA's dedicated truck brand, into a separate corporate entity, and he responded with a simple "Yes." Jonas estimated Jeep's worth in January of this year at $22 billion. Ram was valued at $11.2 billion. Marchionne has a history of spinning off brands while keeping them part of FCA's corporate umbrella. The most noteworthy example of this value maximization was with Ferrari, which now trades on the New York Stock Exchange and rakes in $3.4 billion in annual revenue and close to $435 million in net income, reports the Free Press. Marchionne still serves as chairman and CEO of Ferrari, and Fiat heir John Elkann owns 22 percent of the Italian marque's shares. Even if the offloading of Jeep and Ram into a separate entity would amount to little more than a profit-driven ownership change on paper, it would be huge news to the brands' loyal fanbases. In any case, such a move would likely take years to actually happen and probably wouldn't mean much at all to the products that Jeep and Ram produce. In other words, Jeep fans can keep the pitchforks in the shed ... for now. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
