First introduced in 1973 as a replacement for the 246 Dino GTS, the 308 GT/4 was the first in a line of mid-engined Ferrari V8s. Responsible for the styling of the 308 was Bertone, it would be their only production Ferrari design. It was replaced in 1975 by the 308 GTB, which no longer featured the 2+2 seating configuration of the GT/4 and to the joy of many Pininfarina penned the body.
Over the years the V8 engine was revised, first by replacing the Weber carburetors by fuel injection and later four valve per cylinder heads were fitted.
By 1985 the final incarnation of the transverse V8 launched. For the first time, the displacement of the V8 engine was increased. Both bore and stroke grew in size and with it the displacement went up to 3.2 litre.
Power output of the engine was raised by 30 bhp from the 308 GTBi QV's 240 bhp and with little weight added, the overall performance was increased.
Outwardly the most noticable difference was the nose. The 328 no longer featured the sharp wedge-shaped front, which was characteristic for the 308.
