    I was lucky enough to be invited to Snetteton today to see this car being tested following a full engine and gearbox rebuild.We shared the circuit with Team Damax who were testing 5 360 GTs.Autoitalia magazine were there to do a piece on the EVO so look out for it soon!

    Doesn't the 288 GTO EVO remind you of the F40 with the back end cut off?

    Tony,

    You just snapped pics of my favorite all time car. I did quite a bit of research on the car (6 of them) when Auto Italia ran a feature story on the car last year (read my post here: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7969&highlight=288+gto+evoluzione)

    I even bought some Italian car mags from the 80's that reviewed the car, though I can't read much Italian.

    This car is my kind of Ferrari. Bare bones with gobs of speed.

    I think it makes the F40 seem like a civilized Ferrari.

    If you have any additonal pictures of the car please post them when you have time. I have a small collection of pictures but there are less than 20 or so on the net (through Google).

    Regards,

    Jon P. Kofod
