    That's a GTS & GTB Turbo, a 2.0 litre Italian-only model. The NACA duct is used for cooling.

    In addition to what Tillman wrote..... it's a Ferrari 208 (not 308) because of the 2 liter engine. Yearly road tax on cars in Italy went way up (perhaps still does) when engine capacity exceeded 2 liters. That's why this model was produced.

    I believe those cars were done by the German customizer/tuner whose name starts with a K but CRS steps in.

    Is there anybody here that owns one of these cars? I was aware of these cars, thanks Wikipedia and QV500, before signing up here, but I was hoping that there would be a couple owners of these turbo cars on this forum. I haven't seemed to have seen any as of yet. I would love to see more pictures. I would also love to see one that somebody has done some 'tinkering' with. There is a lot of hidden potential in those early era turbo cars, as witnessed by what Ferrari later did with the GTO and F40 with the same basic setup.
