Ferrari 308 GTB Classic Car Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Ferrari 308 may have been shadowed in the 1980s as headline supercars like the 288GTO and F40 began to emerge. But it had an important job to do.
Featuring exclusive rally footage, this film covers the brief competition heritage of the 308, and takes you through to the latest 488 GTB, which shares more than just its acronym with the '80s legend.
Motoring presenter, Paul Woodford continues his series of classic motoring films with classicsdriven.co.uk, and explores the story of the 308 GTB that you won't have read in the supercar Top 10s on the internet.
Featuring rally footage from the UK's leading rally TV show, Special Stage Rally Review. Visit www.specialstage.co.uk for more #RallyTV.

    Really nice review Paul! Nice history, shots and layout and you are an excellent presenter! The 308 is underappreciated I think and performed the same role the Boxster did/does for Porsche. It was fun to see Ferrari's wink to the 308 with the 488GTB. The 308 is a great car, east to maintain, great looks, fun performance and handling and immediately recognizable as a Ferrari. We love ours! Thanks for the fun video, Franny

    I watched Magnum PI too as a kid, for me it was the ultimate sports car . . . Well until I learned about its shortcoming regarding its Bosch K-Jetronic CIS injection system, which would just spray fuel continuously in its intake manifold and that too at a wrong angle. Guess with a proper injection system, not the one from the diesel gate, it could deliver over 300HP to the wheels!

    A great presentation. The 308 a timeless classic and a beautiful car. I LOVED the 308 GTB/GTS range. The new Ferrari's are engineering feats but unfortunately, their time honoured class and pedigree is now almost gone. The striking looking LaFerrari takes your breath away, but it is NOT beautiful. V8 Range Today - I like the 488 GTB but then came the 488 Pista, the twin turbo F8 Tributo and SF90 Stradale . . . All in about 4 years !!! The 458 the last of the naturally aspirated V8's and beautiful sound to match was the true heir to the beautiful 308 GTB !

    Who writes the garbage that comes out of his mouth? Ferrari didn't need to "build a brand" in the 1980s - they already had one by then. You see, they already had the most-successful F1 team in motor-racing history, they made the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, the 250 GTO, the 250 Lusso, the LM, the 250 Testarossa, etc. etc. etc. The 308 was the ONLY model that Ferrari made that attempted to comply with the new Pollution-control laws of the United States, along with crash-safety standards. Things the British did NOT care-about early on.....
