 | The Ferrari GTO (Ferrari 288 GTO) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987. The GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained purely road cars. The GTO's 2,855 cc (2.9 L; 174.2 cu in) V8 was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear trunk space. This was necessary to make room for the twin turbochargers and intercoolers. |
 | The GTO could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in around 5 seconds with 0-125 mph (201 km/h) coming in 15 seconds onto a top speed of 189 mph. (304 km/h) It was the fastest street-legal production car of its time. |  |
 | The cars are intensely collected. Hagerty suggests a concours example trends around $3.4m. This 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO with 2,900 miles from new hammered for $3.3m in January. |  |
 | The GTO was the first in the lineage of modern Ferrari supercars, and it remains rare, as they are seldom seen outside of air conditioned garages or for public sale. It quickly became the must-have Ferrari for collectors. With a low build number of 272, 288 GTOs are among the best Ferrari investments. |
