Ferrari 308 GTB
Do you do in the weekends like to work on a local rally, but you can find an old Impreza or Escort Cosworth is a bit trite? This is exactly what you are looking for.

Not only does Porsche own in the years ’70 and ’80 of the beaten path, that other brand with the prancing horse made an attempt to rally racing. The Audi Quattro had its entry not yet done and so could you with a achtcilinder and drive the rear wheels still fine to come with him. Michelotto (with an o on the end so built 11 Group 4-rally cars and 4 Group B cars. This 308 GTB 1978 was originally a Group 4 car, but it was in 1980 converted to participate in the most legendary class that rallying has ever known.

How the Ferrari’s did? Not without merit, as they cross the finish line came, at least. On pure speed and good handling is not a defect, but the fragile Italian technique was found not to be resistant to the blows that they on the dirt stages of processing. A specially for Group B designed Ferrari had to offer consolation, but the history is well known. Group B claimed too many victims and has been suspended, the Ferrari 288 GTO reached us, fortunately, still as a street-legal car.

This relic of a particular time period from the autosportgeschiedenis 4 February in Paris under the hammer at an RM Auctions auction organized. The estimated yield is between 250,000 and 315.000 dollars.
