“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.

Pininfarina Sergio gets its glass on for production [UPDATE]
Thu, 04 Sep 2014
UPDATE: We've received confirmation from Ferrari on certain details of the Sergio's production, and have updated the text below accordingly.
It's been nearly a year and a half since Pininfarina unveiled the Sergio at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and now Ferrari is putting it into production - albeit with a few modifications.
Former Ferrari chief Montezemolo to be chairman of Alitalia
Mon, 10 Nov 2014Luca di Montezemolo may be 67 years old, but he's not quite ready to retire just yet. Not, at least, if the latest reports emanating from Italy are to be believed. According to Reuters, the longtime former Ferrari chief is due to be named chairman of Alitalia.
The troubled Italian airline is on the verge of being bailed out after years of financial difficulty, with Etihad Airways of the United Arab Emirates set to take a 49-percent stake in the company. While the reports have yet to be confirmed by the parties involved, Reuters cites multiple inside sources in revealing that the airline's board met last week and agreed to appoint Montezemolo as chairman, with current Etihad chief James Hogan to act as chief executive officer.
Montezemolo, of course, long served as chairman of Ferrari, having assumed leadership of the company not long after founder Enzo Ferrari died. He also served as chairman of the Fiat group for several years after the passing of Umberto Agnelli, and has headed numerous trade organizations and sporting bodies. But his tenure at Ferrari and the broader Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire came to an end two months ago when clashes with Fiat chief Sergio Marchionne saw Montezemolo step down.
Nigel Mansell's Ferrari F40 sells for $870k
Wed, 15 Oct 2014If you look at the $1.35 million price tag on the new LaFerrari and wonder how Ferrari can possibly charge that much for a single car, you could look at the prices of its competitors like the McLaren P1 that lists for almost as much at $1.15 million, you could look to the $2.5 million which Ferrari is said to have charged for the exclusive F60 America - or you could look at the prices at which LaFerrari's predecessors are still trading. Take, for example, this Ferrari F40 which, 25 years since it was built, just sold for nearly $870,000 at auction.
The F40 in question, a 1989 model, may be just one of 1,315 examples made, but it has a rather noteworthy provenance: the car once belonged to Nigel Mansell, the only driver ever to hold both the Formula One and Indy titles at the same time. That Mansell - a man who had access to some of the fastest and most capable racing cars ever made - selected the F40 as his personal ride of choice speaks volumes about the car's abilities and appeal. But then he did, after all, drive for the Scuderia that season, winning the Brazilian and Hungarian grands prix.
The celebrity provenance, however, may not have actually jacked the price up at all. While it may rank towards the top of the list, this was hardly the highest price paid for an F40 at auction. According to Sports Car Market, which tracks such sales, the record currently belongs to a 1993 Ferrari F40 LM that Bonhams also sold for $2.2 million at Monterey. The highest price for a standard, non-LM model was recorded at the same event at $1.43 million.
