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 The original Blaupunkt radio is included, but it has been replaced by a modern Blaupunkt San Francisco with CD player.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.

FIA president and former Ferrari boss Jean Todt named UN special envoy
Thu, Apr 30 2015Jean Todt, the 69-year-old former Scuderia Ferrari boss, Ferrari CEO and current FIA president has been named the United Nation's special envoy for road safety. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment Wednesday in Paris. Citing the 1.3 million people killed and the 50 million people injured each year on the world's roads, the UN is appointing Todt to mobilize "sustained political commitment towards road safety." Beyond that, the Frenchman will work towards raising awareness of the UN's "road safety legal instruments." "The road safety challenge is too often ignored, but road injuries are the number one killer of young people aged 15 to 29. That being the case, it deserves much more attention on the global political agenda," Todt said in the attached statement. "This appointment will bring greater visibility to efforts to tackle this health and development crisis, as well as new leadership and renewed momentum." Meanwhile, the FIA also confirmed Todt and 44 other delegates in Nepal to attend the organization's Asia-Pacific Sport Regional Congress in Kathmandu were safe after the country was struck by a devastating earthquake last week.

Twin LaFerraris roar around Fiorano
Wed, 18 Sep 2013What could possibly be better than a Ferrari LaFerrari running at full clip on the Italian brand's Fiorano test track? The answer is obviously two LaFerraris, both doing hot laps. So far as we know, this is the first time we've had an unadulterated listen - outside of the car, that is - to the latest Ferrari hypercar when it's being ran hard. There's no voiceover or music, just that righteous, hybridized V12.
We're told that the first LaFerrari, without camo, is a production model, while the other car is said to be testing a different exhaust setup. It sounds slightly different, and according to the videographer, it was noticeably louder than the production car. Take a look below for the full 2:48 of Italian V12 noise.
