Although the much loved Ferrari Dino 246 GT was replaced in 1973 by the all-new Dino 308 GT4, Ferrari‘s first ever V8 engined production model, its Bertone styling and 2+2 seating received mixed reactions; it was not until 1975, when the 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Show, that aficionados of the marque felt the 246‘s true successor had arrived. The 308 GTB employed a tubular steel chassis with independent coil spring/wishbone suspension front and rear, complemented by anti-roll bars, adjustable dampers and powerful disc brakes. At its heart was a Formula One derived, all alloy, four camshaft 3.0 litre V8 engine, allied to a transversely mounted five speed gearbox. Pininfarina‘s stunning two seat coachwork combined the best features of the 246 and the later 365GT4/BB and looked just right. Prod
