History

In the early days, Enzo Ferrari often declared that his road cars would only ever have 12-cylinder engines.

That was why, when the company first started producing models with V6s and V8s, they were badged as Dinos.

Or at least they were when they left the factory; owners and sometimes even importers would add Ferrari

badges – once they were away from the gaze of Maranello…

So first came the V6-engined Dino 206 and 246 GT, joined a few years later by the V8-engined Dino 308

GT4 2+2. A sub-brand, we’d call it today. The 308 GT4 was a good car, but its sharp-edged Bertone lines

left many pining for the curves of the earlier, Pininfarina-penned Dino. Happily, when it came to the 246’s

replacement, Ferrari went back to its preferred styling house. The result, revealed in 1975, was the 308 GTB.

Designed by the masterful Leonardo Fioravanti, with obvious nods to the 246 in the curving wing-tops and

sculpted air intakes, but also a clear relationship to Fioravanti’s clean-lined and then-recently launched

Berlinetta Boxer, it was at once nostalgic and achingly modern.

The transversely mounted 252bhp four-cam 3-litre V8 and five-speed transmission were taken pretty

much straight from the 308 GT4 2+2. Transplanted into the lighter and more slippery GTB – early cars

were skinned in glassfibre, and the GTB was the first Ferrari to benefit from being developed in Pininfarina’s

wind tunnel – the result was 0-60mph in around 6.5sec and a top speed of over 150mph: Paul Frère

recorded 154mph when he tested a GTB for Road & Track magazine.

Not only were they lighter, but these cars featured the V8 engine at its most potent, with a quartet of twin-choke

Webers and dry-sump lubrication. European cars had the full 252bhp (255PS); those for the US market were

detuned to comply with tougher emissions regs, which left them 15bhp down at 237bhp. US cars also had

a wet sump, as per the 308 GT4, though all GTBs had that from 1981 onwards.
