GT6 | Ferrari GTO 1984 top speed 452 km/h | Sample Death Valley Track race | PS3

In 1982, the Group B category of motorsports was introduced. For the purpose of satisfying regulations, a variety of special production cars were produced by auto manufactures in order to fulfill the 200-car homologation requirement in order for that car to go racing. The GTO, which bowed at the 1984 Geneva Motor Show, was one of these cars. Though unofficial, the number "288" is sometimes added in front of the alphabetical designation, so the car is also known as the "288 GTO."
The "O" in GTO stands for omologazione, the Italian word for homologation. Its style is immediately recognizable as stemming from the 308GTB; this was deliberately planned, so as to avoid straying too much from the look of that model. However, in reality, the GTO was practically an entirely new car. Its engine was remounted longitudinally, the wheelbase stretched 4.3 inches longer, and its exterior body panels were replaced with ones made out of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials. As a result of this process, most of the car had to be specially redesigned.
Leonardo Fioravanti, who was with Pininfarina at the time, penned the exterior styling. Flared front and rear fenders, additional fog lights, passing lights in the nose, a rear duck tail reminiscent of the 250GTO, and the three vertical-line louvers produced a beautiful form combining the aggressive look of a fighting machine together with traditional Ferrari elegance.
Power came from a revamped engine originally sourced from the Lancia LC2. The 3.0-liter mill of the 308 was then converted into a 2.6-liter twin-turbo. This was further modified to match the maximum limit for Group B, turning it into a 2.8-liter twin turbo. The 1,160 kg light weight body was now backed by 394 HP and 365.9 ft-lb of torque, enabling a top speed of 305 km/h, making the GTO the fastest Ferrari in its day.
Only 272 examples of the 288 GTO were manufactured, but production sadly ended without any racing under its belt. Yet its basic principles carried over into the 288 GTO Evoluzione test vehicle, which in turn, were passed on to the now-legendary F40.
