“The Ferrari is a dream – people dream of owning this special vehicle and for most people it will remain a
dream apart from those lucky few” – Enzo Ferrari
The 308 Quattrovalvole model was introduced in 1983 and adopted a 32-valve cylinder head. It features a 240 bhp,
2,926 cc DOHC 32-valve 90-degree V-8 engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, five-speed manual transmission
with a clutch-type limited slip differential, independent front and rear A-arm suspension with coil springs and
telescopic shock absorbers, 16 inch Speedline wheels and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes.
Other changes for this model included a rear spoiler and additional louvers between the headlamps to aid with
cooling. It was offered in both a coupe version and as an open-air model, the GTS, which boasted a targa-style
removable roof panel that could be stowed behind the rear seats when not in use. Just 3,042 Spyders would be
produced during its three-year model run. The 308 is most notable for playing a starring role in the 80's TV show
Magnum, P.I. with actor Tom Selleck behind the wheel.
The factory yellow with tan interior color combination on this example is extremely rare. The paint looks fantastic
and the leather interior is in excellent shape considering its age. The audio system has been upgraded with the
stock Alpine unit available at buyer’s request. Aesthetically, the car is stunning to look at and its visual
condition is simply breathtaking. The GTS version of the Ferrari 308 features a targa top that can easily be
removed by a single person.
As expected, the car is garage kept and has an extensively documented service history. The service history along
with parts, workshop and original owners manuals are included in the sale. The vehicle has been meticulously
maintained and serviced regularly; with its most recent major service in August of 2012. The attention to detail
taken during its servicing is clearly evident in the firm ride, strong engine and throaty rumble from the Stebro
exhaust.

Ferrari California replica from Ferris Bueller is so choice
Sat, 29 Jun 2013We like car auctions well enough, but often the high-end affairs are a bit too much like outdoor museums - very beautiful and very cold, and you're not allowed to touch anything. A perfect case in point is the upcoming Mecum auction during the 2013 Pebble Beach weekend, which will feature the legendary replica Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder used in none other than Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Only three were made. The current owner spent ten years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion. (Well, it was before he decided to auction it, anyway.)
Actually built by Modena Design and Development in El Cajon, CA, the official name of the stunning replica is Modena Spyder California. Built up on a tube frame, with a meticulously maintained interior and powered by a 500-horsepower small block V8 the car is so choice. If you have the means, we highly recommend picking one up.
Mecum hasn't suggested a predicted auction price for the Hollywood relic as of yet, but with the perfect pedigree to pull Gen X heartstrings, and the proliferation of stupid-wealthy fourtysomethings in and around northern California, we wouldn't be surprised to see a decent value. Just don't wait on it, life moves pretty fast around Pebble Beach. If you'd like to read a full description of the car with fewer script-quotes, look, it's real simple, scroll down.
Ferrari celebrates at Hong Kong's Asia World Expo
Thu, 24 Oct 2013More than 600 Ferrari models, representing every era of the famed automaker's production, celebrated 30 years of presence in Hong Kong with a gathering at the Asia World Expo this past weekend. The event marked the largest single gathering of Maranello's sports cars ever organized in China. The weekend culminated with Marc Gene, Scuderia Ferrari's test driver, unveiling the new 458 Speciale.
There are only about 1,700 Ferrari owners in China, and they boast an average age of just 35 years. The young clientele in the Asian market often take advantage of Ferrari's 'Tailor Made' bespoke program and they have a growing interest in racing. The automaker says that many will travel to the Mugello circuit in Italy to participate in the final event of the Asia Pacific series of the Ferrari Challenge in a couple weeks.
"I am pleased to be here to celebrate Ferrari's thirty years in Hong Kong, along with so many owners who share our passion and the search for excellence, exclusivity and innovation," said President Luca di Montezemolo. The video shows hundreds of Ferraris, in popular white, yellow and red, being arranged indoors to form the Bauhinia Blakeana, a five-pedal flower that is the characteristic symbol of Hong Kong. Apparently owners of the more exclusive Blu Scozia, Avio Met and Vinaccia colors were asked to park outside. Scroll down below for a video and press release detailing the event.
Watch Chris Harris drive the Ferrari 458 Spider like an "idiot"
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Chris Harris gets to abuse his fair share of cars that we can only dream about driving, so why not add the Ferrari 458 Spider to that list. After somehow borrowing the keys to a Ferrari-owned 458 Spider, Harris spends about five minutes driving the 570-horsepower, open-air supercar like an "idiot" (his words, not ours).
In reality, it's impressive to watch the $257,000 (base price) 458 Spider being drifted and pushed hard into every turn. Not surprisingly, the car handles the "bad behavior" very well, but what is amazing is how easy it is for Harris to talk to the camera despite the top being down and the engine being at full throttle almost the entire time.
If you like watching Ferraris get sideways, you will most certainly enjoy Harris' video, which is posted below.
