The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO)(Type F114) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 to 1987 in Ferrari's Maranello factory, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologata (homologated in Italian).
Some of the GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Auto Salon. The 288 GTO had started out as a modified version of the 308/328 to hold down costs and to build the car quickly, but little of the 308/328 was left when the 288 GTO was finished.
Easily noticeable differences were the GTOs bulging fender flares, larger front/rear spoilers, large "flag-style" outside mirrors and four driving lights at the far sides of the grille. Retained from the original 250 GTO were slanted air vents, put in the GTO's rear fenders to cool the brakes, as well as the rear wing's design, borrowed from the 250 GTO's original wing. The GTO also had wider body panels than the 308's because they had to cover much larger Goodyear tires mounted on racing wheels.
The GTO was based on the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 308 GTB, which has a 2.9 L (2,927 cc) V8. The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine as it used a de-bored by 1 mm (0.04 in) with IHI twin-turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, Weber-Marelli fuel injection and a compression ratio of 7.6:1. The 2.85 litre engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a turbocharged engine's capacity to be multiplied by 1.4. This gave the GTO an equivalent engine capacity of 3,997 cc (4.0 L; 243.9 cu in), just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.
Unlike the 308's 2,927 cc (2.9 L; 178.6 cu in) engine, 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 racing transmission was mounted to the rear of the longitudinal engine, moving the rear differential and wheels aft. The arrangement also let the GTO use a more conventional race-car engine/transmission layout for such things as quick gear-ratio changes for various tracks. As a result, the wheelbase was 110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96.5 in).
The best colour for a GTO. It needs stripes now, then it is perfect!

I was away for a week but now I'm back, uploads should be more frequent now.
Back in the old days before the pandemic – in 2017, 2018 and 2019 - I visited the Italian Emilia Romagna, the cities of Modena & Maranello and thus fulfilled a childhood dream: visiting Ferrari (OK, Pagani, Lamborghini & Maserati, too…).
Seeing some of the rarest, history-charged Ferraris parading through the small streets of Modena, gathering on Piazza Roma and paying tribute to the brand‘s 70th anniversary gave you goosebumps and tears of joy.
With emotions still running hot, I had to do a rendition of probably the most iconic classic in Ferrari’s history: the 250 GTO. Certainly, I first did it in red… but seeing this bold blue-yellow painted beauty at the Museum Enzo Ferrari I had to rebuild it.
The model had its‘ debut at the local LEGO-exhibition „Hildesheimer Steinwelten“ in March 2019, together with other not yet posted models. It is a pity, but there is very limited time for LEGO at the moment.
Anyway, when Lennart Cort showed his beautiful model of a red 250 GTO, I had to shift stuff and took some time for some rather cra**y photos of mine… and it is interesting how history repeats: in May this year we had the Maserati MC12, now the 250 GTO. So let us say it again:
We think it is simply amazing to see the same car interpreted by two different builders: spot the different solutions, find the same design concepts - that's clever!
More on the moving history of the real blue-yellow GTO can be found here.
