    Hello FerrariChat Europe!!

    Please share with me your knowledge about the Ferrari 208 GTB/GTS Turbo, 1982-1985.

    I know it has 110HP/litre and max power output is 220HP at 7,000rpm.

    How much should I invest in the maintenance of this car if I would choose to buy one?
    a) if I drive it only in the week-ends;
    b) if I drive it daily.

    Which is the consumtion fuel per 100km?
    Salutations!

    As your profile is empty, it is rather difficult to guess maintenance costs...

    Drive one before you buy. It is not exactly the best car Ferrari ever made. I drove one for a while and did not enjoy that much.

    Fuel consumption heavily varies on your driving style. 15 liters x 100 km is a fair assumption.

    Dear Eugenio,

    My profile is empty - like my garage ;)
    I plan to buy a 208 or a Mondial. 208 is less powerfull and could be a good choice for me - I have driving license since 18 months ago only..

    Thanks for your advice anyway!

    Hello,

    I have a Ferrari GTSTurbo, is the model after the 208 turbo. (from 1986) 1,990cc V8 254 HP 253 KM/H.
    It maintenance is not expensive, and the consumption is relative, depends that you use it, but 15 liters yes drink them. It is very amused to lead.
    I am looking for to buy one 355, and I would like not to sell my gtsturbo.

    Grettings.

    Alfredo.

    Dear Alfredo, thanks for your reply. I have an offer of an '84 model, the seller is asking EUR 30,000. The car looks great.

    All the best!
