At a first glance, the 288 GTO might have seemed like a 308 GTB, but the appearance was deceiving. Under a rather sober bodywork hid a supercar with 400 horsepower, capable of 305 km/h. With the 2855cc engine, the Ferrari 288 GTO was the extreme development of the line that began with the 308 series. Produced in only 272 units, the 288 GTO remained essentially a road car, although tests were conducted for use in Group B. Among Maranello's supercars, the 288 GTO was replaced in 1987 by the F40.
