FERRARI 288 GTO

UK was the first market for the GTO.

 

nice pic
the countach looks a lowbody car to me....

i cannot argue with his choice in cars...now that i think about the GTO looks nice side by side with these 2

 

Hola Efe,

do you think it will be possible to see F40, F50, Enzo and GTO for a display in Barcelona representation?

 

Mais oui.
For sure.
Sunday 28. All together in the Circuit of Catalunya of Montmelo.
And the "father" of GTO. The 250 GTO too.

 

Hi!

This is a pic from Ross in Sweden. The GTO is mine and so is the 348 in the background. The white Countach is a very special one!

Regards
Caley

 

Joe, do you know of this car? Someone is claiming that it is a real 288. I think not, appears just to be a 308.

Not seen that picture before, but I'd guess that's the car that was fitted with a big 'ole V8 and run at bonneville and it was a real 288! Norwood I think, but I'm sure someone has full info.

 

Bob Norwood has cultivated quite a fascination with both Ferraris and Turbos!

Wait, there's more!

It seems to have evolved over the years...

A brand new GTO in 1984.

By the way, it was just confirmed to me today that Sylvester Stallone owned a 288 GTO when the cars were new, looked after by Francisco Mir (sp?) in West Los Angeles... no idea of the chassis number yet.

Caley thanks for clarification. I thought Gino D had his own GTO?

 

No it is my car parked in his showroom.

The Norwood "GTO" (its actually a 308). There is a real one in the background...

http://www.norwoodperformance.com/Bonneville%20GTO.htm is the full article only 66% throttle required for its 250 mph run

 

Either way, it's a travesty what someone did to it.

 

I disagree, as Bob Norwood has created some great Ferrari HotRods over the years as well as kept a lot of pure stock Ferrari's running strong.

 

Pretty cool.

 

Interesting to note that it is listed as the "World's Fastest Ferrari" at 266 mph.

Heaven help us if he gets it running right :-0

In 1977 Pininfarina came up with an aerodynamica study called "Millechiodi" if I recall correctly.

You can clearly see the inspiration for the GTO...

It seems the car was "retired" behind the works...
