Julio, I understand you total!!!! I have had the same problem last year. I didn`t want to sell my beloved 308 GTSi QV but both cars are too expensive for maintenance and I can only drive one car in a time. Yes, now I miss my 308. But the testarossa is just to die for and this was the right solution!!!! Man, nothing and I sowre you nothing compares to a 12 cylinder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO FOR IT! Good Luck Wolfgang
on these picture, it's only a 308 gtsi from usa....not a gts turbo, no naca air scoop..., no 328 like bumper....
Please, you are free to draw it. It is 328 with an air intake before the back wheels, grids of the ventilation the back top and an elevation in the back hood. I do not know, if I have written it well. Greetings Alfredo.
Julio, you do not doubt it, if your you have decided to buy the 456, to do already, thus you will begin to enjoy it before, 12 cylinders, is a dream. In the old forum, somebody put these photos of high quality... presses next Link http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/18/107.html?978817916 This photo is of my car. Greetings Alfredo-
Hi and a wonderful Good morning gents, Thank you Alfredo, perhaps I will do "it" on a drawing later but I will need detailed pics to look at for this project.....Great pictures on the link BTW..... On the pictures "it" looks absolutely gorgeous this "rare beauty" Best regards Carsten
Hi Vittorio, Is this your own car??? Beautiful photo and beautiful car...... thanks for sharing Greetings Carsten
Carsten, Wolfgang and all..., this is a pretty and genuine "GTS Turbo". Vittorio, You have information about this car? Greetings Alfredo
Hi Carsten, no, it's non my car. I personally own a 328, very similar but a little more powerful Take care Vittorio
Yes Alfredo! It was built for the italian market only. Until 1990 here in Italy we had expensive taxes for luxury goods (yachts, cars over 2000 cubic capacity, etc...), so Enzo Ferrari, in 1979, decided to start the production of 2000 cubic capacity cars .....but they hadn't enough HP for traditional Ferrari standards (and for customers' tastes), so Ferrari started increasing HP with the Turbo engines. The GTB/GTS Turbo Intercooler was the last evolution of this kind of cars (introduced in 1986, one year after the introduction of the 328 model). They are the same of the 328 (is exactly the same car!!!) except the engine, the NACA air ducts on the rear fenders (the Pininfarina badge was moved behind the rear wheel because there was no space for the NACA) and the rear badges. The interiors are exactly the same apart an additional instrument (indicator for the turbo) between the tachometer and the revcounter. The GTB/GTS Turbo Intercooler had 254 HP (vs 270 of the 328) and the top speed was 250 km/h (vs 263 of the 328). It was a little nervous to drive because the turbo wasn't so progressive as Ferrari claimed. Personally I prefer my 328 also if, estetically, I like very much the Naca ducts on the fenders. It is a rare car (if compared with the 328), but I don't believe the value will raise so much in the next years. The best place (and easiest) to buy one of them is here in Italy, were you can pay much less than for a 328. Take care Vittorio
Good morning Gentlemen, @Vittorio, Thanks for the photo and the story/sorting out! And don't excuse for your bad English, realy...it's brilliant, so keep on my friend... Greetings Carsten
Thank you very much, Vittorio. that price difference has in Italy between 328 and a GTS Turbo? your English, is far better that mine. Greetings. Alfredo
For comparable cars (same year, same general conditions) the average difference is in region of 15%. At least this is what I experienced last year looking for my car. At the end I bought a 328, even if more expensive. Ciao Eugenio
Vittorio and Eugenio, In 1986, the cost of 328 in Italy was 91.425.000 Libras and cost of GTS Turbo was 78.116.000 Libras, a 16% less. It is necessary to consider that leaves from that difference were taxes, in the used cars that difference of taxes repels less. It is not strange, that the quotation of it, follows thus in Italy, a 16% less. I have comparative in Italian language "328 versus GTSTurbo" of the magazine "Quattroroute" of "Giugno 1986" 3.18 MB format pdf. If you want, I can send by email. Greetings Alfredo.
OPS....!!! I'm sorry, I tried to say "liras" instead of "Libras" (pounds); great difference. Greetings.
The official 2004 prices, here in Italy, are (from "Ruoteclassiche"): 1986-1989 GTS Turbo intercooler............... 28.000 1985-1989 328 GTS ................................34.000 These prices are referred to cars in kept in original and very good conditions (engine, body panels, low kms, etc...). For mint conditions' cars the price can grow up of, at least, a 30%. For GTB model the price is lower of a 10%. I hope that this will help. Vittorio Alfredo.
I thank for the information, Vittorio. The theoretical valuation not always is the real valuation, the real valuation is the one that fixes the market. Based on the information available in the web http://asm6.autosupermarket.it/listaASM.lasso , the average price of 328 is +-37.750 and the one of 208 is +-32.722 In Italy, there is a greater supply of 208 than of 328, I suppose that to the very similar being and but cheap, they were sold but. 328 GTS/B marca e modello anno prezzo proposta da Ferrari 328 GTB/A 1989 Euro 39.000,00 Privato scheda Ferrari 328 gts 1988 Euro 38.000,00 trattabili Privato scheda Ferrari 328 gts 1988 Euro 38.000,00 Privato scheda FERRARI 328 GTS 1986 Euro 38.000,00 Bielle Fuoristrada (Riv.) scheda FERRARI 328 GTS 1988 Euro 36.000,00 EURO SERVICE CAR (Riv.) scheda 151.000/5= 37.750 GTS/BTurbo marca e modello anno prezzo proposta da FERRARI 208 GTS TURBO INT. 1987 Euro 28.500,00 trattabili Privato FERRARI 208 gtb turbo int. 1986 Euro 30.000,00 Officine Criscuolo (Riv.)
