Description[]
The Ferrari 288 GTO, officially the GTO, is a two-door high-performance sports car produced by Ferrari from 1984 to 1987. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti, the 288 GTO was developed due to what was claimed by Ferrari as "excessive gentrification" of the Ferrari car lineup. The 288 GTO is powered by a 2.9L F114B 000 twin-turbocharged V8 producing 395 horsepower mated to a 5-speed manual. The car itself is heavily based on the 308 model but features a different body design; a racing version, the 288 GTO Evoluzione, was also produced. Originally priced at $83,400, the cars now retail between $3 to $4 million on average. 272 cars were produced, the last being personally delivered to Formula One World Champion Niki Lauda by Enzo Ferrari. Today, the 288 GTO is one of Ferrari's most collectible models and is part of a group enthusiasts name the "Big 5", including itself, the F40, F50, Enzo Ferrari and LaFerrari.
