When the Ferrari 308 GTB debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, it marked a significant shift for Maranello. Designed by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, the 308 brought the mid-engine V8 formula, perfected in the Dino, to a broader audience, quickly becoming one of Ferrari's most iconic and recognizable models. Its stunning lines, featuring dramatic flying buttresses and a curvaceous profile, were an instant classic, further cemented by its starring role in popular culture. The GTS variant, introduced in 1977 with its removable targa top, offered an open-air experience that perfectly complemented the car's sporting character. The "i" designation, arriving in 1980, signified the adoption of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, replacing the Weber carburetors for improved drivability and emissions compliance, marking the first time a production Ferrari utilized this system. This 1980 Ferrari 308 GTSi represents a well-preserved example of this pivotal era. Showing 76,455 miles, it presents in a vibrant yellow finish, a quintessential period color that perfectly highlights Pininfarina's masterful design, complemented by a rich brown interior. Powered by its original 2.9-liter V8 engine paired with a gated manual transmission, this GTSi has been thoroughly sorted and recently serviced, ensuring it performs with the mechanical integrity enthusiasts demand. The seller emphasizes its dialed-in condition, underscoring that this is a driver's car ready to be enjoyed, free from the common deferred maintenance issues that can plague lesser examples. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a mechanically strong and visually striking example of Ferrari's beloved 308 GTSi.
