The 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO is now a very rare and an expensive car.

This Ferrari boasted a wheelbase longer than the production 308 GTB, and it rode on four-wheel independent suspension. The new Tipo F114B mid-mounted V-8 was installed longitudinally, rather than transversely, and produced 400 horsepower through four valves per cylinder, Weber-Marelli electronic fuel injection, twin IHI turbochargers, and dual Behr intercoolers.

As for the body, this 288 GTO was formed of a carbon compound, whereas the doors were very light made of aluminum. The rear wings had three cooling slots behind the wheel, a fitting tribute to the original gran turismo omologato Ferrari, the 250 GTO.

As for the engine, it featured 400 bhp, 2,855 cc mid-mounted V8 engine with dual overhead-camshafts, four valves per cylinder, twin IHI turbochargers, five-speed manual gearbox in rear transaxle, four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes.
