The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 through 1986, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologato (homologation in Italian).
The Ferrari GTO was built to compete in the new Group B Race series and a minimum of 200 cars were required for homologation. However as only Ferrari and Porsche, with their 959, entered, the series was soon abandoned leaving just Group B Rally championship. The Porsche 959 (as the Porsche 961) only raced three times in Group B, but the 288 GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained purely road cars.
Some of the 288 GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Salon. This included the deep front spoiler, fender flares, rear lip spoiler, front lid radiator cooling louvers and quadruple driving lights.
The GTO was based on the mid-engined, rear wheel drive 308 GTB (which has a 3.0 litre V8 engine). The "288" refers to the GTO's 2.8 litre V8 engine as it used a de-bored (by 1 mm) V8 with twin IHI turbochargers, intercoolers, and Weber-Marelli fuel injection. The 2855 cc 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 a theoretical engine capacity of 3997 cc, just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.
Unlike the 308's 2926 cc engine, the GTO's 2855 cc engine was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear boot 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. As a result the wheelbase was110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2,450 mm (96 in). The track was also widened to accommodate wider wheels and tires (Goodyear NCT 225/50VR16 tires mounted on 8 x 16" Speedline wheels at the front and 255/50VR16 mounted on 10 x 16" wheels at the rear) to provide increased cornering and braking performance and the ability to apply 400 hp (298 kW) and 366 lb·ft (496 N·m) of torque to the ground. The GTO was an impressive performer with 0-60 mph times in the upper 4 second range. Ferrari claimed 0-125 mph (201 km/h) in 15 seconds flat. Top speed was 189 mph (304 km/h), making it the first street-legal production car to reach 300 km/h (186 mph)
Ferrari also built five 288 GTO Evoluzione models with more aggressive and aerodynamic body styling and increased power. The engine in the 288 GTO Evoluzione originally put out as much as 650 hp (480 kW). With weight of 940 kg (2,072 lb) the car had a top speed of 225 mph (362 km/h).[2] These cars form the clearest visual link between the 288 GTO and the F40 soon to follow.
Only three 288 GTO Evoluziones are still in existence, with one at the Galleria Ferrari museum in Maranello.

It may not look like much, but there's a real, live gas tank mounted to the body now, with fuel lines that run all the way from the engine to the tank and back again!

Very rare Ferrari 599 GTO.
On 8 April 2010, Ferrari announced official details of the 599 GTO. The car is a road-going version of the 599XX and Ferrari say the 599 GTO is their fastest road car ever, able to lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Ferrari Enzo. Its engine produces 670 PS (493 kW; 661 bhp) at 8250 rpm, with 620 N·m (460 lb·ft) of torque at 6500 rpm. Ferrari claims the 599 GTO can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 3.35 seconds and has a top speed of over 335 km/h (208 mph).[9] At 1,590 kilograms (3,500 lb), the 599 GTO weighs 100 kg (220 lb) less than the standard GTB.[10] Production will be limited to 599 cars.
Ferrari has given only two other models the GTO designation: the 1962 250 GTO and the 1984 288 GTO.[11] Unlike the previous GTO's however, the 599 GTO was not designed for homologation in any racing series.

My dream car...
I almost bought one of these when I was 18 years old, around 1985, but couldn't afford it. They wanted $2000 for it. What a bargain that was! I ended up getting a 1975 Plymouth Duster. Which I completely destroyed.

Ferrari 288 GTO after the 2009 Concorso Italiano
My friend was lucky enough to get to drive this into the show for the owner, who couln't attend. When the show was over, we had the choice to sit in (uphill) traffic for an hour, or hang out for an hour and then have an open road. So we drove down to the end of the course and decided to do an impromptu photoshoot. Wouldn't you?

I suppose it was probably too much of an ask for Hot Wheels to have badged it as a Holden, Opel or even Vauxhall but they predictably chose the all American Pontiac marque for their latest GTO casting. Not QUITE as stock as I was hoping for with its slightly oversized rear wheels but a very fine effort nonetheless with enough detailing to keep most people happy and a vivid but stock looking metallic bronze paint colour. Part of Case D found in Morrisons recently. Mint and boxed.

Pontiac GTO Première Muscle Cars
En 1963 lorsque l'ingénieur en chef de Pontiac , John Z. DeLorean , et son équipe ont installé un moteur de grande taille dans le châssis intermédiaire de la division, ils ont immédiatement inventé la Muscle Cars.
Au cours de ces 20 minutes , Bill Collins et Russ Gee ont assembler un moteur V-8 389 ci dans un châssis Tempest .
Ils ont créé le prototype de la GTO de Pontiac et ont changé le cours de l'histoire de l'automobile
À partir de ce moment, les voitures de performance américaines ne seront plus jamais les mêmes .
