Description[]

The Ferrari 308 was a mid-engined two-seat sports car manufactured by Ferrari from 1975 to 1985. Styled by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina and built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, the 308 acted as Ferrari's new entry-level model, replacing the Dino 246; many of the 308's components were shared with the Dino, as well as a related car, the 308 GT4. The 308 was powered by a 2.9L F106AB V8 mated to a 5-speed manual and available in coupe and targa formats, named the 308 GTB and GTS respectively; the GTB was made available first at the 1975 Paris Motor Show while the GTS was introduced at the 1977 Frankfurt Motor Show. The GTB and GTS were discontinued in 1980 to make way for the 308 GTBi and GTSi models, essentially the same cars but with Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection. 2,897 308 GTBs were produced.

This casting has been variously named the Race Bait 308 and Racebait 308; in later years this casting was named the Ferrari 308 or Ferrari 308 GTB. This casting originally had a plastic base before it was changed to metal in 1982. The casting was modified for use in the Power Command Racers series in 1990, now with a different plastic body, clockwork motor and a large wing. Said Power Command casting was later modified for use in the regular lineup, although this was short-lived.
