    Very cool. So the style director at Ferrari drives an '80s Ferrari?

    Yes, he drives a 1984 Ferrari 208 GTB turbo. He says he likes it also because it's very rare and they did just 437 of them. I have to say him that the GTS version of 208 turbo is even rarer.

    He says on the article that the car has a fantastic look. And if the Ferrari style boss says that, maybe that's true... ;)

    Can't argue with the style boss. (And thanks for the translation.)

    Basically he says in the article that the car has a fantastic shape with a great handling and was the first step towards the 288 GTO (more or less). The article is not very long, but in few words he says that 208 turbo shape is something like a timeless beauty he likes very much.
    I couldn't agree more.

    When the man with a supercharged Ferrari meets the man with a turbocharged Ferrari, the man with the supercharged Ferrari is a dead man... (Clint Eastwood) :D

    Do all 308/328 owners also have 356s?

    Thank you Alberto for sharing the article.

    No doubt: I also could not agree more to the statements about the small turbos.

    Edit: I carry on negotiations about another 208 turbo. This time the GTB brother to my GTS white Lady.
