Collector's dream
The first car in Ferrari's supercar trilogy. Built for Group B racing that never happened.
History
Conceived as a Group B homologation car, the 288 GTO was Ferrari's answer to the Porsche 959. When Group B was cancelled, all 272 units became instant collector cars. Its twin-turbo V8 layout directly evolved into the F40.
