I like the Ferrari range of 1984 by Fioravanti. missing the Testarossa near the GTO...it s amasing to see the difference between the boh car for the same pedriode. so in the same case, try to find a pictures with all cars made by Ferrari in 1984 308-412-Mondial-testorrossa-GTO...it resume perfectly the work of Mr Fioravanti dept. i mean creation with sytle.
Estimados amigos, El Ferrari Club España celebrará los próximos días 26, 27 y 28 de Junio de 2009 en Barcelona, el 25º Aniversario del Ferrari GTO. Contaremos con la presencia de socios de otros clubes a nivel internacional, algunos de los cuales intentarán venir a la Ciudad Condal con sus Ferrari GTO. Leonardo Fioravanti, responsable de Pininfarina en los años 80 y creador del Ferrari GTO, será nuestro invitado de honor. Fioravanti traerá fotos y documentos originales que no han sido nunca publicados y nos contará anécdotas y pequeños secretos de su relación con Enzo Ferrari durante el desarrollo del proyecto de este mítico Ferrari... Nuestro reto es poder reunir el mayor número posible de unidades de este mítico Ferrari en Barcelona, de las 272 que fueron producidas en Maranello. La aportación de numerosos propietarios llegados de distintos puntos del extranjero con sus GTO, será para nosotros de enorme valor, ya que en nuestro país existen muy pocas unidades de este Ferrari. El evento del 25º Aniversario del Ferrari GTO, culminará el domingo 28 de Junio en el Circuit de Catalunya, donde todos los seguidores y apasionados ferraristas, sean socios o no de nuestro Club, podrán acceder al paddock del trazado de Montmeló, para admirar de cerca la espectacular belleza de estos "Cavallinos"... En esta ocasión y para que todos los propietarios de un Ferrari que no sean socios de nuestro Club, no se vean excluidos de un evento de estas características, el Ferrari Club España acepta la participación de todos los propietarios sin excepción y ha preparado distintas opciones de inscripción, para que nadie tenga la excusa de no poder venir a participar en un acto que será único en Europa, en homenaje a uno de los más míticos y exclusivos Ferrari jamás producidos en Maranello... ¡MUY IMPORTANTE! Para una perfecta realización de este evento (reservas de hoteles y de restaurantes), es importantísimo que todos los propietarios de Ferrari que deseen participar, se inscriban lo antes posible (antes del 18 de Mayo), llamando a nuestra oficina del Club en Madrid, donde nuestra secretaria les informará de todas las modalidades que se han preparado.

Jack: The owner of this car is a UK-based media mogul who has an eclectic collection of cars which also includes a white F40 with the same light blue interior: a sort of his-and-hers matching pair of 288 GTO & F40 (she does in fact drive the GTO). You might ask why he would take an original GTO and F40 and do this to them? Well, the answer to that question is because he wants to, and he can. You see it is the same man who paid $10 million last year for the black California Spyder at the RM Maranello auction last May, so one can infer that the proverbial "money is no object" applies. I cannot tell you if the Cal Spyder will also soon become white with a blue interior! FYI the work on the GTO was done by DK Engineering at www.dkeng.co.uk and the car is pictured there at the completion of its transformation recently. Image Unavailable, Please Login
NUTS! Especially with a car such as the GTO with early (sensitive) fuel injection etc. By the way the outfit that presents these images profess themselves as detail experts! Step aside, Ill clean it (wipe it down) myself and save the money...
Wheelbase 2451 mm 96.5 in Track front 1559 mm 61.4 in rear 1562 mm 61.5 in Length 4290 mm 168.9 in Width 1910 mm 75.2 in Height 1120 mm 44.1 in Length:wheelbase ratio 1.75 Ground clearance 120 mm 4.7 in Kerb weight 1160 kg 2557 lb Weight distribution (Front) 46.00 % Fuel capacity 120 litres 26.4 UK Gal 31.7 US Gal Not sure if this is 100% accurate; but it seems to be a few places
The wheelbase is 2450 cm. But is worth noting that the overall length is 4225 cm, with front overhang at 1000 cm, and rear overhang at just 775 cm (with the caveat that if the car has the Ansa F1 megaphone pipes installed then the rear overhang will be 790 cm allowing for the pipes protrusion).
You just beat me to it and yes, you are more detailed and spot-on than my personal notes, excepting my note on the protrusion of the megaphone pipes. Of note too is the fact that the kerb weight you have noted is the car's dry weight.
It's May 1985... One of the first apperances of a Ferrari 288 GTO in the Netherlands during a Club meeting. Very impressive!!!! Ciao! Marcel Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
As of today's date I can announce that Fioravanti has formally accepted to attend our little GTO Reunion. This is the first time Leonardo, and sons Luca and Matteo Fioravanti have attended the Monterey Historics car weekend and they are very excited to do so. Doubtless Leonardo will be asked to sign a car or two...
A. The white is awesome, may that car always stay that way....excellent, so unique. B. The childs seat is even cooler.
They are advertised sometimes, but not as frequently as the other Supercars by virtue of sheer numbers. I know of 6 that have sold this year. I personally have been involved in the sale of 2 this year, $615k and $650k, and I'm working on one presently which will be in that same region.
