“The Ferrari is a dream – people dream of owning this special vehicle and for most people it will remain a
dream apart from those lucky few” – Enzo Ferrari
The 308 Quattrovalvole model was introduced in 1983 and adopted a 32-valve cylinder head. It features a 240 bhp,
2,926 cc DOHC 32-valve 90-degree V-8 engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, five-speed manual transmission
with a clutch-type limited slip differential, independent front and rear A-arm suspension with coil springs and
telescopic shock absorbers, 16 inch Speedline wheels and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes.
Other changes for this model included a rear spoiler and additional louvers between the headlamps to aid with
cooling. It was offered in both a coupe version and as an open-air model, the GTS, which boasted a targa-style
removable roof panel that could be stowed behind the rear seats when not in use. Just 3,042 Spyders would be
produced during its three-year model run. The 308 is most notable for playing a starring role in the 80's TV show
Magnum, P.I. with actor Tom Selleck behind the wheel.
The factory yellow with tan interior color combination on this example is extremely rare. The paint looks fantastic
and the leather interior is in excellent shape considering its age. The audio system has been upgraded with the
stock Alpine unit available at buyer’s request. Aesthetically, the car is stunning to look at and its visual
condition is simply breathtaking. The GTS version of the Ferrari 308 features a targa top that can easily be
removed by a single person.
As expected, the car is garage kept and has an extensively documented service history. The service history along
with parts, workshop and original owners manuals are included in the sale. The vehicle has been meticulously
maintained and serviced regularly; with its most recent major service in August of 2012. The attention to detail
taken during its servicing is clearly evident in the firm ride, strong engine and throaty rumble from the Stebro
exhaust.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.

Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing

Thu, 09 May 2013

In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.

Ferrari begins releasing official teasers for new supercar

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Regardless of what it will be called, the successor to the Ferrari Enzo will be unveiled next week in Geneva, and like many other automakers, Ferrari will apparently be giving us a slow strip tease of the all-new hybrid supercar.
We've already seen a couple shadowy images of the car's face and rump, but the new shots - provided courtesy of the Ferrari Facebook page - are starting to show us some detail.
The only problem is that we don't exactly know what details we're looking at. In the shot above, that curvy, red real estate could belong to any number of body panels, while the second new teaser shows the Ferrari prancing horse logo with no indication of where on the car it'jk, s located.
