The Ferrari 308 and 328: Timeless Icons of Maranello
The Ferrari 308 and its successor, the 328, are among the most iconic sports cars ever produced by Ferrari. Known for their stunning design, thrilling performance, and cultural significance, these models captured the spirit of the late 1970s and 1980s.
From their starring role in Magnum, P.I. to their lasting reputation among enthusiasts, the 308 and 328 represent a pivotal chapter in Ferrari’s history. In this article, we’ll explore the history, model variants, performance highlights, critical reception, and legacy of these beloved Ferraris.
1. History: A New Era for Ferrari
The Ferrari 308: Birth of a Legend
Introduced in 1975 at the Paris Motor Show, the Ferrari 308 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) was designed to replace the Dino 246 GT. It marked Ferrari’s move into the mid-engine V8 market, appealing to a broader audience while retaining the exclusivity and performance that defined the brand. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the 308 GTB featured a striking wedge-shaped body, aggressive lines, and unmistakable Italian flair.
Initially, the 308 GTB featured a fiberglass (vetroresina) body—the first Ferrari to do so—which made it exceptionally lightweight. In 1977, Ferrari switched to steel bodies for greater durability and ease of production, resulting in a slight weight increase. The car was powered by a 3.0-liter V8 engine, producing 240 horsepower in European models and 205 horsepower in U.S. versions, which were equipped with emissions controls.
The Ferrari 328: Refinement and Evolution
In 1985, the Ferrari 328 replaced the 308, refining the formula while retaining its predecessor’s winning attributes. The 328 featured a larger 3.2-liter V8 engine, improved performance, and subtle styling updates. Offered in GTB (Berlinetta) and GTS (Spider) configurations, the 328 continued Ferrari’s tradition of blending style with exhilarating performance.
The 328’s improved ergonomics, reliability, and user-friendly driving experience made it a favorite among enthusiasts and first-time Ferrari buyers. It remained in production until 1989, when it was succeeded by the Ferrari 348.
2. Model Variants: From the 308 to the 328
Ferrari 308 GTB (1975-1980)
The original 308 GTB featured a dry-sump lubrication system (in European models) and was available only as a coupe. Early models with fiberglass bodies are especially sought after by collectors due to their rarity and lighter weight.
Ferrari 308 GTS (1977-1980)
The 308 GTS, introduced in 1977, featured a targa-style removable roof panel, making it a more versatile choice for drivers seeking open-air motoring. It gained significant recognition as the car driven by Tom Selleck in the television series Magnum, P.I.
Ferrari 308 GTBi and GTSi (1980-1982)
In 1980, Ferrari introduced the GTBi and GTSi variants, which featured Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection to comply with stricter emissions regulations. While the fuel-injected models were more efficient and reliable, their power output dropped to 211 horsepower in European models and 202 horsepower in U.S. versions, making them less desirable among purists.
Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole (1982-1985)
To address the power loss in the fuel-injected models, Ferrari introduced the 308 Quattrovalvole (QV) in 1982. The addition of a four-valve-per-cylinder head increased output to 240 horsepower, restoring the 308’s performance credentials. The QV variants are among the most respected in the 308 lineup for their balance of power and reliability.
Ferrari 328 GTB and GTS (1985-1989)
The Ferrari 328 introduced a larger 3.2-liter V8 engine, producing 270 horsepower in European models and 260 horsepower in U.S. versions. The styling updates included body-colored bumpers, revised lighting, and a more modern interior with improved controls and materials. The 328 GTB (coupe) and GTS (targa) continued Ferrari’s tradition of offering both closed and open-air configurations.
3. Performance: A Thrill for the Road
The Ferrari 308 and 328 were celebrated for their engaging driving dynamics and V8 engines, which provided thrilling acceleration, a distinctive soundtrack, and a rewarding connection between driver and machine.
308 GTB: The original 308 GTB could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph. Its mid-engine layout and lightweight chassis provided excellent handling and balance.
308 Quattrovalvole: The QV variants improved acceleration to 6.2 seconds for 0-60 mph and offered sharper throttle response and more reliable performance.
328 GTB/GTS: The 328’s larger engine delivered a more refined driving experience, with a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 163 mph. Its improved suspension and brakes made it a more composed car on both road and track.
Car and Driver praised the 328 for its "perfect balance of power, agility, and elegance," while Motor Trend described the 308 as "a car that makes every drive an event."
4. Reception: How They Were Perceived at the Time
When the 308 debuted, it was hailed as a modern and stylish successor to the Dino 246 GT. Critics admired its bold design and performance, though early U.S. models faced criticism for emissions-related power reductions. The 308 GTS gained widespread recognition through its prominent role in Magnum, P.I., cementing its place as a cultural icon.
The introduction of the 328 further elevated Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 lineup, with its improved reliability, comfort, and performance winning over both enthusiasts and the automotive press. Road & Track noted that "the 328 is more than just an evolution of the 308—it’s a statement of Ferrari’s commitment to perfection."
A Legacy of Timeless Appeal
The Ferrari 308 and 328 have earned a lasting legacy as two of Ferrari’s most beloved models. Their timeless design, engaging performance, and connection to Ferrari’s heritage make them popular choices among collectors and enthusiasts.
Early fiberglass 308 GTBs are highly sought after for their rarity, while the 328 is often regarded as the most refined and reliable of the series. The cars’ mechanical simplicity compared to modern Ferraris makes them relatively accessible to maintain, further enhancing their appeal.
In the collector market, well-maintained examples of the 308 and 328 continue to appreciate in value, particularly those with documented service histories and original specifications.
Icons of Design and Performance
The Ferrari 308 and 328 embody the essence of Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 tradition, blending stunning design with exhilarating performance. From the bold lines of the 308 GTB to the refined capabilities of the 328 GTS, these models remain benchmarks of Ferrari’s ability to create cars that excite both the senses and the soul.

Car and Driver (1977)
Ferrari 308 & Ferrari 328 Model Variants
The Ferrari 308 GTB was a mid-engined two seat sports car built by Scaglietti and designed by Pininfarina. It was shown at the 1975 Paris Motor Show and again in London that year as an additional model to the Dino 308 GT4 and as the replacement for the aging 2-seater Dino 246. The 308 replaced the Dino 246 GT and GTS in 1975. This car featured sweeping curves, two seats and a resemblance to the 512B. There were several iterations of the 308 until it was replaced by the more refined 328. Below, we take you through all the variants.

Highlighting the 308 GTB was a fiberglass, or vetroresina, body. Except for the aluminum hood, the entirety of the body was fiberglass and was manufactured by Scaglietti. It was the first time a composite body was sold on a production Ferrari. It allowed the 308 to weigh only 1,100 kg dry. Unfortunately, fiberglass had a downmarket feel (particularly when it came to paint) and put off some customers.

Many people have looked upon the F50 project as somewhat of a failure. I can see where they are coming from; the F50 didn't receive a race program and never set any precedents in performance. It is this attitude that is usually held by people how have yet to experience the F50 in person, on track or, better yet, behind the wheel. It was pure race-spec from top to bottom.
Ferrari 328 GTB
Type: Production Car
Years: 1986 - 1989

We are huge fans of the 1980s GTS. As far as affordable two seat V8 Ferraris go it made our best Ferraris for first time owners list. The 328 was a solid upgrade to the 308. It had better performance, that same gorgeous Pininfarina design, modern comforts and is pretty reasonable to maintain. The 328 was the successor to the Ferrari 308. Rather than a lot of wholesale changes, this was a case of small improvements that made a big difference overall.

In the mid-80s, the elegant shape of the open-topped 308 GTS was further softened and rounded to become – once a 270bhp 3.2-liter engine had been fitted amidships – the 328 GTS. The curvier body not only updated the looks, it also improved the aerodynamics. Inside the new drop-top, the now outdated 1970s seats and trim and switchgear were also thoroughly refreshed. More than 6,000 cars were sold, five times as many as the 328 GTB.

Ferrari 308 & Ferrari 328 Buyer’s Guide
Everything You Need to Know About Purchasing Either A Ferrari 308 or 328.
The Ferrari 308 and 328 models are among the most iconic and accessible Ferraris, making them popular choices for enthusiasts entering the world of classic Ferrari ownership. With their timeless design, engaging driving dynamics, and relatively straightforward maintenance compared to newer models, they offer a unique blend of heritage and practicality. However, as with any classic car, prospective buyers must carefully assess these vehicles for common issues and ensure proper documentation. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate the purchase of a Ferrari 308 or 328.
Key Areas to Inspect and Common Issues
1. Engine and Mechanical Health
The Ferrari 308 and 328 are powered by naturally aspirated V8 engines, which are known for their reliability when properly maintained. However, neglect can lead to costly repairs.
Timing Belts and Tensioners: Both models require timing belt replacements every five years or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first. Check service records to confirm recent belt and tensioner changes. A snapped timing belt can cause catastrophic engine damage.
Carburetors vs. Fuel Injection: Early 308 GTBs (1975-1980) use Weber carburetors, which require periodic tuning for optimal performance. Later models, including the 308 GTBi/GTSi and all 328s, use Bosch fuel injection, which is more reliable but can develop injector and sensor issues over time.
Oil Leaks: Inspect the engine for signs of oil leaks around the camshaft seals, oil pan, and valve covers. Persistent leaks can be a sign of deferred maintenance.
Cooling System: Check for proper cooling system function, including the condition of the radiator and hoses. Overheating can be a problem in poorly maintained cars, especially in hot climates.
Compression Test: A compression test can reveal the health of the engine’s internals. Uneven compression between cylinders may indicate worn piston rings or valve seats.
2. Transmission and Clutch
The five-speed manual transmission with the gated shifter is a hallmark of the 308 and 328, but wear and tear are common in older cars.
Second Gear Issues: Synchro wear in second gear is a known issue, particularly when the transmission is cold. Test-drive the car and check for difficulty engaging second gear.
Clutch Wear: The clutch should engage smoothly without slipping or shuddering. A worn clutch will require replacement, which can be labor-intensive and expensive.
3. Suspension and Steering
The suspension and steering components in the 308 and 328 are relatively robust but subject to wear over time.
Bushings and Ball Joints: Inspect for worn suspension bushings, which can cause clunking noises and affect handling. Ball joints and control arms should also be checked for wear.
Steering Rack: Look for excessive play in the steering rack, which can affect the car’s precision.
Shocks: Original shocks may be worn out, leading to a bouncy or harsh ride. Upgrading to modern dampers is a common and recommended improvement.
4. Brakes
The braking system is straightforward, but regular maintenance is essential.
Brake Fluid: Ensure the brake fluid has been changed regularly to avoid corrosion in the lines and calipers.
Pads and Rotors: Check for wear on the brake pads and rotors. Warped rotors can cause vibration during braking and will need replacement.
5. Bodywork and Rust
Rust is a significant concern, especially in early 308s with steel bodies (post-1977).
Rust-Prone Areas: Check for rust around the wheel arches, door sills, lower panels, and underneath the car. Fiberglass-bodied 308s (1975-1977) are not subject to rust but may have issues with cracking or delamination.
Paint Condition: Look for signs of resprays or mismatched paint, which may indicate past damage or poor-quality repairs.
6. Electrical Systems
The electrical systems in these Ferraris are notoriously finicky, especially in older models.
Fuse Box: Inspect the fuse box for signs of overheating or melting, a common issue due to poor electrical connections.
Lights and Gauges: Test all lights, switches, and gauges to ensure they work. Malfunctions may require costly troubleshooting and repairs.
Battery and Alternator: Weak batteries and failing alternators can cause electrical gremlins. Ensure the charging system is functioning correctly.
7. Interior Condition
The interiors of the 308 and 328 are luxurious but prone to wear.
Leather Upholstery: Check for cracks, fading, or shrinking on the leather seats and dashboard. Reconditioning or replacement can be expensive.
Carpets and Trim: Inspect the carpets and trim for water damage or excessive wear.
Air Conditioning: The air conditioning system is known to be underpowered. Ensure it functions, but temper expectations for cooling efficiency.
Desirability and Future Investment Potential
The Ferrari 308 and 328 have become increasingly collectible, with rising values reflecting their iconic status and accessibility in the Ferrari market.
Ferrari 308:
Early Fiberglass (Vetroresina) Models: Early fiberglass-bodied 308 GTBs are the most collectible due to their rarity and lighter weight. These models command a premium in the market.
Quattrovalvole (QV) Variants: The 308 QV, with its four-valve engine, is highly sought after for its balance of performance and reliability.
Cultural Impact: The 308 GTS, thanks to its role in Magnum, P.I., remains a pop culture icon, increasing its desirability.
Ferrari 328:
Refinement and Reliability: The 328 is often considered the best choice for those seeking a classic Ferrari with modern reliability and usability.
Investment Growth: As the final iteration of the 308 lineage, the 328 is increasingly viewed as a sound investment. Low-mileage and well-documented examples are particularly desirable.
Summary of Key Inspection Points
Verify service records, especially for timing belt replacements and clutch work.
Conduct a thorough visual inspection for rust, leaks, and signs of wear.
Test all mechanical and electrical components, including the transmission, brakes, and lights.
Consider a professional pre-purchase inspection (PPI) by a Ferrari specialist for peace of mind.
Conclusion
The Ferrari 308 and 328 are beloved classics that offer timeless design, engaging performance, and a gateway into Ferrari ownership. While maintenance and upkeep require attention to detail, a well-cared-for 308 or 328 can provide years of enjoyment and even serve as a sound investment. As values continue to rise, these models represent an excellent opportunity to own a piece of Ferrari history.
