Ferrari developed the 288 GTO to enter the Group B arena, resulting in a street-legal supercar that previewed the F40. The 288 GTO was based on the 308 GTB, featuring a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 400 horsepower, enabling a top speed of 189 mph. Its design incorporated rally influences, including a lightweight composite body and enhanced aerodynamics. Only 272 units were produced, making it an exclusive collector’s item. (ferrari.com)
