The Ferrari 328, a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car produced from 1985 to 1989, marked a significant evolution in Ferrari's lineup. Replacing the iconic 308 series, the 328 introduced a number of improvements and refinements, solidifying its position as a desirable and reliable classic. The 328 was offered in two distinct variants: the 328 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta), a coupe with a fixed roof, and the 328 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider), featuring a removable targa top. Both models shared the same lightweight fiberglass bodywork, designed by Pininfarina, featuring sharper lines and a more modern aesthetic than its predecessor. The 328's underpinnings were borrowed from its predecessor, the 308, but with substantial upgrades. The most notable change was the adoption of a larger, 3.2-liter, 90-degree V8 engine, producing 270 horsepower, significantly increasing performance. This powerplant was coupled with a five-speed manual gearbox, allowing for a spirited driving experience.
The 328's popularity stemmed from its combination of elegant design, potent performance, and relative affordability compared to other Ferraris of the era. While still a luxury car, the 328 was accessible to a broader audience, attracting both experienced enthusiasts and newcomers to the Ferrari marque. Its handling was praised for its balance and precision, making it a joy to drive on both winding roads and racetracks. The 328's interior, though spartan in design, was well-appointed with high-quality materials and comfortable seats. Today, the Ferrari 328 remains a sought-after classic, appreciated for its performance, handling, and timeless design. Its relatively low production numbers and increasing desirability have contributed to its growing value in the collector car market, making it a worthy investment for those seeking a piece of Ferrari history.
