    None of the 19 Ferrari 288 GTOs originally delivered to Switzerland had air conditioning or power windows.

    Ah only just caught your answer, thanks Joe, so the Evoluzione was to be the rally car? I still cant see Ferrari rallying, what was the motivation to join rallying at the time? I suppose it would be another string in Ferraris motorsport bow.

    Group B was also intented to be a kind of early GT2/GT3 type standard for circuit racing to replace Group 5.

    Only Porsche with the 959 build a competitor car and the sports car formula died with rallying.

    http://www.qv500.com/porsche959p3.php (this is the "961" 959 derivative that raced at LeMans).

    I remember that it had won its class at LeMans, just did not realize it was literally its own class, " An all-French driver line-up would be back for the race in June, the 961 running in its own invitational class (IMSA GTX)"!

    I am told with auxiliary gearing they can reach 230mph terminal speed. Can someone who knows more verify?

    210mph probably achievable.

    It takes a very serious racecar to get above 220mph (easier for a roadcar as they carry less downforce).

    BTW I love the way you have kept yours pretty much the way it was made and have resisted the urge to "improve" it too much...

    The Lewandowski book is a gem. Foreword by the late (great) Phil Hill, and with fascinating material. The parts I like the best are the designer's insights, the testing of the prototype engines including the carburettor unit, and the full-size engine illustration that comes with the book...
