Few classic Ferraris are as instantly recognizable as the 308 GTSi. Penned by Pininfarina and immortalized by its starring role in Magnum, P.I., the 308 remains one of the defining sports cars of the 1980s. The GTSi introduced Bosch fuel injection for improved drivability and reliability while preserving the unmistakable soundtrack and character of Ferrari’s mid-mounted V8. Showing just 18,945 miles, this 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi is finished in iconic Rosso Corsa over a Nero interior and pairs its timeless styling with the engaging experience of a gated 5-speed manual transmission, making it a standout example of one of Maranello’s most celebrated classics.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi is finished in Rosso Corsa, the quintessential Ferrari color that perfectly complements the wedge-shaped bodywork designed by Pininfarina. A removable black targa roof panel allows occupants to enjoy open-air driving, while the signature five-spoke alloy wheels, pop-up headlights, and sculpted side air intakes complete one of the most iconic silhouettes ever to wear the Prancing Horse badge. Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes provide confident stopping power to match the car’s sporting character. The interior of this 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi is upholstered in Nero and retains the driver-focused layout that has made the model a favorite among enthusiasts for decades. The cabin centers around Ferrari’s iconic gated manual shifter, complemented by a leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel that enhances the analog driving experience. Simple, purposeful controls and excellent outward visibility emphasize the 308’s connection between driver and machine, creating an authentic vintage Ferrari cockpit.

Engine

Mounted behind the cabin is a 2.9L naturally aspirated V8 equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection, delivering crisp throttle response and the unmistakable exhaust note for which Ferrari’s V8-powered sports cars are renowned. Paired with a precise 5-speed manual transmission, power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels, rewarding the driver with an engaging and mechanical driving experience that has become increasingly rare. The combination of a lightweight chassis, balanced mid-engine layout, and naturally aspirated V8 makes the 308 GTSi one of the purest analog Ferraris ever built and a benchmark among classic Italian sports cars.
