Seller's description


The GT4 2+2 was a groundbreaking model for Ferrari when introduced in 1973 : it was the first production Ferrari to feature the mid-engined V8 layout that would become the bulk of the company's business in the succeeding decades, and was the first production Ferrari with Bertone (rather than Pininfarina) designed bodywork. Pininfarina was upset by the decision to give cross-town rival Bertone the design, considering all they had done for Ferrari. The styling featured angular lines entirely different from its curvaceous 2-seater brother, the Dino 246, and was controversial at the time. The styling 308 GT4 was comparable to the Bertone-designed Lancia Stratos and Lamborghini Urraco, also penned by Marcello Gandini. The 2927 cc V8 engine was mounted transversally integrally joined with the 5-speed transaxle gearbox. The engine had an aluminium alloy block and heads, 16-valves and dual overhead camshafts driven by toothed belts. It produced 255 bhp and used four Weber 40 DCNF carburetors. In total, Ferrari manufactered 2826 examples of the GT4, in both 208 and 308 guise.
The car we are now offering for sale was restored and converted to racing specification by its previous owner. It has a nice finish, and looks very purposeful and ready for competition. This car could be a great car for historic racing or rallying, hillclimbing or just a fantastic and rather different looking trackday device. The engine sound is awesome, and once installed in the well appointed cockpit you feel ready for a 24 hours race.
If you want something different for historic competition, then this well prepared 308 GT4 could be a good candidate. It is the kind of car you won't see often on the track, although it is well suited to be driven hard because of the longer wheelbase (stability) and mid engined set-up (roadholding). Still cheaper then a competition Porsche, but much more exotic.
