1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi QV Euro Spec

I'd like to introduce my weekend time capsule — my 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi QV Euro Spec in Rosso Corsa over Tan.

• 2.9L DOHC V8 (Tipo F105A)
• Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection
• 240 HP (Euro spec, vs. 205 in US models)
• 0–60 mph in about 6.5 seconds (Slow ASF)
• Top speed ~155 mph (who cares?)
• 5-speed gated manual transmission (Dogleg!)
• Curb weight: ~2,700 lbs

Pop-up headlights, gated shifter, and unmistakable Pininfarina wedge styling make this one of the most iconic shapes Ferrari ever put on the road. The Euro spec cars like mine breathe better, rev sharper, and sound more raw compared to the U.S. versions of the era. Everything works perfectly and it's a significantly more fun drive than almost any modern Ferrari.
