The entry
The Ferrari 288 GTO.
The 288 GTO shares its silhouette with the 308 GTB but is substantially reengineered underneath, with a longer wheelbase and a twin-turbocharged V8 mounted longitudinally rather than transversely.
Group B was discontinued before Ferrari's planned racing programme could take place, but the road car's engine went on to form the basis of the F40's.
We review your Ferrari 288 GTO on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.

Footnotes
º1Do you buy the Ferrari 288 GTO?
Ferrari 288 GTO entries are considered case by case, filed under Ferrari Special Series & Flagships as entry Nº 137 / 168. Availability and purchase appetite depend on provenance, specification, history and seller expectations. Submit the details or call, and a senior specialist comes back to you directly.
º2Do you need to see my Ferrari 288 GTO before making an offer?
Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your Ferrari 288 GTO first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.
º3How does selling my Ferrari 288 GTO to MotorSignet work?
Send the registration or the details of your Ferrari 288 GTO. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.
º4Do you buy 288 GTOs with a documented ownership and service history?
Documentation helps a specialist review the car fully, but isn't essential to start, tell us what you have.
This page describes a type of car we buy and source directly, not a specific example currently held or for sale.
