By many Ferrari followers the 288 GTO is considered the very best model to have the honnor of wearing the famous GTO badge. The design of the 288 was taken and changed from the 308 GTB and subtle changes were made to give the 288 a more aggressive appearance.

The biggest difference between the 308 and 288 was not its appearance. This was the engine layout. In the 308 the engine was mounted transversely but in the 288 the V8 was mounted longitudinally. A slight decrease in the was also a key point to the 288 engine but this was made up for by the addition of two IHI turbocharges. With boost at only 0.8 bar the engine produced a powerful 400bhp.

The materials used in the construction of the 288 had until then only been used in the likes of the Ferrari Formula 1 cars. The entire body was made from kevlar, fibreglass and aluminium except for the doors which were made from steel for safety reasons.
