The Ferrari 308 GT4, produced from 1973 to 1980, marked a significant step in the evolution of the iconic Italian marque. This mid-engine sports car, designed by Pininfarina, was the first production Ferrari to feature a V8 engine, a departure from the traditional V12 configuration. The 308 GT4 was a groundbreaking car for Ferrari, as it offered a more affordable and accessible entry point into the world of Ferrari ownership. Its sleek and aerodynamic design, with its distinctive wedge shape and prominent air intakes, became a symbol of the era's sports car aesthetic. The 308 GT4 was powered by a 3.0-liter V8 engine, initially producing 250 horsepower, later increasing to 255 horsepower. This powerful engine, mated to a five-speed manual transmission, delivered exceptional performance, propelling the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 6 seconds.
Although the 308 GT4 offered a blend of performance and practicality, it was not without its challenges. The car's complex mechanical layout, particularly the engine, required skilled technicians and specialized tools for maintenance and repair. The 308 GT4's intricate suspension system, designed for both comfort and handling, also required meticulous attention. The bodywork, though stylish, was prone to corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and rear panel. Consequently, owning a 308 GT4 demanded dedication and resources, making the need for a comprehensive service and repair workshop manual essential. This manual serves as a vital resource for owners, mechanics, and enthusiasts looking to maintain and restore their 308 GT4 to its former glory, ensuring its continued legacy as a classic piece of automotive history.
