Few Ferraris have become as recognizable as the 308. Introduced during a period of transition for the Italian manufacturer, the series helped establish the mid-engine V8 as a defining part of Ferrari’s road-car identity, combining Pininfarina styling with the marque’s racing-derived engineering.

Published in 1982, Wallace A. Wyss’s The Complete Guide to the Ferrari 308 Series examines the development and evolution of Ferrari’s V8 sports cars, including the Bertone-designed Dino 308 GT4, the 308 GTB, and the open-top GTS. Drawing on research into the cars and their development, Wyss provides an enthusiast’s perspective on the engineering, design, and character of one of Ferrari’s most enduring model families.

A period reference for enthusiasts of Italian coachbuilding, Ferrari history, and the development of the modern mid-engine sports car.
