Does the Ferrari 328 GTS still feel fast today? Pro Racer drives it in Singapore to find out!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hi everyone I’m Sean Hudspeth from Singapore, a professional racing driver, and official Ferrari driving instructor. I’m a 2 time National GT champion in Italy (2019 & 2020).
In this video, I will be driving and sharing my thoughts on the Ferrari 328 GTS, with a 0 to 100kmph acceleration of 5.5 seconds, the Ferrari 328 was once considered a very fast car. But that was over 30 years ago. In this video, I'll drive this Classic Ferrari and put it through its paces to see if it's still fast enough today.

I have an 87' and the sound of the car is just intoxicating!
Excellent review Sean thank you. I'm 5'10" and have just about enough head room in my 328 GTB, so I think you were wise to drive a GTS. I maybe slightly biased, but I really think the 328 is the sweet spot (apart from the 355 which is much more expensive to maintain though) - it is such an involving car to drive, it feels so alive and responsive, the engine is very revvy and quick, it sounds absolutely epic especially with a subtle sports exhaust, and it makes both those driving it and those who see it smile and be happy, its just a cracking little Ferrari! Keep up the good work and keep your reviews coming, and wishing you continued good rehab from you injury. :-)
This was the best car review I ever saw. Perfect duration, interesting and entertaining, and covering all the important aspects of driving/ owning a 328. Thank you very much and much love to Singapore, which I am hoping to visit again soon.

Thanks Adam! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review. Fabulous Ferrari. Many thanks.
I had the play in the steering fixed a couple of weeks ago. It just needed a new steering rack. Now it responds quickly and steers like a go-kart. One funny thing about the steering rack, it comes in two different sizes for the same model. I asked my mechanic why this was the case. He just laughed and said, "It's an Italian car." Back then, assembly was a bit "rough" and parts that fit on one car did not fit as well on another car of the same model. I guess this is due to the fact that most parts were assembled by hand, sometimes borrowing parts from other cars.
Thanks Sean, great review. I missed a little bit Your insight on driving dynamics of this car. I look forward for more videos.
Personally I don't have a problem with lack of power steering on lightweight cars - I had few funds to repair my 80's Porsche so it was a low priority; I disengaged the pump. It's a free gym arm workout !

As far as a Ferrari which I think you should review next - GTC4Lusso : )
Very nice review, thanks!
I just subscribed. Very entertaining and funny!
308-328 GTS are for me the perfect driver cars. Their is no need an absolute speed for a nice week-end ride.
I broke my ankle 9 months ago but never rebounded that fast!
This is the first time I have seen a painted roof on the GTS.
Completed my Novice Race Driver's Trainng course last week. Drove my 1986 328 GTS. Amazing, no brake fade over the course of the day. Was a little concernced about overheating, but even though the day was 30 C, no worries. Just left the engine hatch open during breaks. Yes, targa roof was off. Yes wore an Aloha shirt (think the factory manual requires that 😎 So, my driver nickname...yeah, very obvious...Magnum.

"Amazing, no brake fade over the course of the day." You're not driving hard enough.
“Fortunately it has all those benefits” - unfortunately it gains the post-ABS wheels
Who cares if it's not snap your neck fast. It's sexy, it's analog and it's a Ferrari. Personally I prefer the body style and wheels of the 308, but the 328 is my lottery winner car of choice
👌
Could you please somewhen make a test of the Mondial Cabrio? Thanks

Come to think about it the 308, 348 followed the same naming convention. 3.4L V8 for 348 and 3.0L V8 for 308. Makes me wonder is the 355 a 3.5L V5 then ?

Nope, although I'm guessing you're joking :) It's 3.5 litres, 5 valves per cylinder.
Why isn't there a plate number?

Usually the more rare, the more expensive!
Just for the record they do not do 0-100 in under 6 seconds they do it in 6.8 seconds

Appreciate it!
Not at all. Just looks good! Actually much better than anything Ferrari built after 1989. Pininfarina and Ferrari split, Enzo passed, so RIP FERRARI!! Too many computer systems now to ever be any good. Actually many cars in that class look almost identical, even the lowly Corvette!! How pathetic is that. Too bad the 328 didn’t have more horsepower. However, it’s an Indy Car compared to the pathetic 308.
I have 2019 brz ts it has a header and a tune. My neighbour has a 328 and my car is faster in every gear. They really should have done better with this car. Its not until the 360 that ferrari got it right. Thats a ferrari The 328 is just not good at all
1986-1989
