Buying or Selling a 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi?

 

In 1980, regulations concerning gas emissions got a lot stricter in the United States. The Ferrari 308 GTS, which wasn’t complying with the rules, has to switch the Weber carburetors to a Bosch fuel-injection system. This switch resulted in a decrease of the output by 40 hp, which Ferrari fans weren’t so pleased about at the time. Nowadays, fuel-injection models are appreciated for the smoothness of the engine and transmission. The Pininfarina convertible body is also one of the best characteristics of the GTS model, making it a wonderful Sunday-driver – even today. The V8 engine still delivers a decent amount of power and the well-balanced body handles wonderful in corners, for more enjoyment on windy roads.
