Model 208 GTS Turbo
DESCRIPTION
In 1980 Ferrari introduced a two-litre version of the 308, the 208 GTB and 208 GTS. Produced mainly for the domestic Italian market, where new cars with engines above 2-litres were subjected to a much higher value added tax. The engine was de-bored to 68. 8 mm (giving it an undersquare design) for a total displacement of 1, 990. 64 cc, resulting in one of the smallest V8 engines ever produced. Fed through four Weber 34 DCNF carburettors, the V8 produced 153 bhp at 6800 rpm.
In 1982 the two-litre 208 was succeeded by a turbocharged and fuel injected version, the 208 GTS turbo unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. It was the first ever turbocharged road-going Ferrari. The 208's engine was given a single KKK turbocharger with wastegate valve, Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and Marelli electronic ignition. Forced induction increased power to 217 bhp at 7000 rpm. A GTS version was introduced a year later, in 1983.
Both outside and inside the 208 Turbo was almost identical to the contemporary 308 Quattrovalvole. It could be recognized by NACA ducts in front of the rear wheel well openings and "turbo" badging on the tail and shrouded exhaust pipes; the normally optional deep front spoiler and black roof aileron were standard.
Production ended in 1985 after 437 GTB turbo and 250 GTS turbo cars were produced. In 1986 they were replaced by the 328-based, intercooled GTB/ GTS Turbo.
The 208 turbo offered here was built in 1985 and first registered in 1987 when it was imported to Malta by the first owner. Finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero leather, the car was used regularly by the first owner around the small island. It was then bought by its second owner who was the President of the Ferrari Owners Club in Malta, who set about a comprehensive restoration. The current vendor is the third owner and has been in possession of the car for the last 17 years. During his ownership the car has been fastidiously maintained and serviced every year at the Cronos Ferrari specialist in Sicily. The vendor describes the car to be in pristine condition, completely rust free and an absolute joy to drive. This particular car was also featured in the Hollywood film, 'The Devil's Double', where the car was driven sporting early 1990's Iraqi plates by Dominic Cooper. We are told the car performed her duties admirably during a gruelling day of filming, without missing a beat. The vehicle comes with her Maltese registration, a valid VRT until July 2018 and the mock Iraqi licence plates.

A truly breath taking example of the Ferrari 208 GT4. This is one of the extremely rare 208 GT4's built to get around the new tax rules that were introduced in Italy for vehicles with higher engine capacity. As a result the 308's engine capacity was reduced to a little under 2.0 litre's. This is 1 of just 840 Ferrari Dino ...

In the early 1970s, Ferrari is working on a successor to the Dino 246. The beautiful, Pininfarina-designed, compact two-seater with mid-engine has been overtaken in design by the competition, which is massively going for straight lines in this period. And so the project has to take a completely different approach. Bertone ...
