The Ferrari 308/208 Series was the first production cars to feature a mid-engine layout and wear the prancing horse badges. First introduced in October of 1975, the Pininfarina designed 308 drew its styling from the 246 and 365 Dino. It was powered by a V8 engine rather than the traditional V12.
The 208 GT4 was introduced in 1975 and was powered by a low-displacement version of the eight-cylinder engine in 308 GT4. The double overhead cam engine with four two-barrel Weber carburetors produced a respectable 180 horsepower, and was capable of carrying the vehicle to a top speed of around 130 miles per hour. Performance was further enhanced by the five-speed synchromesh gearbox, four-wheel independent suspension, and disc brakes. The small 92.1 inch wheelbase with an excellent weight-distribution design provided excellent handing and performance on the motorways.
