288 GTO

1984-1985

The 288 GTO was developed as Ferrari's Group 5 homologation special, combining a lightweight body with a V8 and making it one of the fastest cars of the 1980s. Group B was cancelled before it could compete, but the 288 GTO became the foundation for the more extreme GTO Evoluzione, and ultimately the F40.

288 GTO Evoluzione

The 288 GTO Evoluzione was the extreme competition development of the 288 GTO, created for Ferrari's planned Group 5 programme with larger turbos, radically lighter composite bodywork, and more power. Group B was axed before it could race, so the Evoluzione instead became an ultra-rare development car whose engeineering directly influenced the Ferrari F40.
