The Car Behind This Bag
1975 · 2.9L V8 · Maranello · designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone · the first mid-engined V8 Ferrari
The 308 GT4 broke two Ferrari traditions at once. It was the first production Ferrari with a mid-engined V8 — the architecture that would carry the company through the next four decades — and it was the first production Ferrari since the 1950s not designed by Pininfarina. Marcello Gandini drew it at Bertone, all sharp angles and trapezoidal glass, in the same period he was producing the Lamborghini Urraco. Pininfarina was, by all accounts, furious.
The 2.9-litre V8 produced 240 horsepower in US trim and was the engine Ferrari would refine through the 308, 328, 348, and into the F355. The car launched in 1973 wearing Dino badges and only received the Ferrari prancing horse on its nose in May 1976. Tom Selleck would have driven a 308 in Magnum, P.I. a few years later — but that was the 308 GTS, the Pininfarina car that replaced the GT4 in the public imagination.
Ferrari built 2,826 GT4s before discontinuing the model in 1980. Gandini was never hired by Ferrari again. The car is now slowly being reassessed by collectors who recognize that the GT4 — for all its 1970s wedge severity — was the actual technical hinge between the front-engined Ferraris of the 1960s and the mid-engined cars that followed.
