No single car company seems to draw as much attention to the industry as Ferrari<\/strong>. Their cars\u00a0have been the envy of many, while being owned by few. With so many models to choose from,\u00a0both past and present, it is difficult to determine a favorite. However it seems that public\u00a0opinion has labeled which Ferraris<\/strong> are more popular than others. One such example is the\u00a0Ferrari<\/strong> 308 GTB<\/em> and GTS<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, the 308 GTB<\/strong> debuted at the Paris Salon<\/strong> in October of 1975<\/em>, bringing forth\u00a0revolutionary concepts in design by none other than Pininfarina<\/strong>. The car quickly gathered\u00a0worldwide attention and North America<\/strong> embraced the fiberglass-bodied<\/em> import a year later.<\/p>\n

The Ferrari<\/strong> 308 GTS<\/em> provided Pininfarina<\/strong> with an opportunity to flex its design and styling\u00a0muscle. The company responded by redefining the public’s collective impression of what a Ferrari<\/strong>,\u00a0and indeed what a sportscar, should look like. The task given Pininfarina<\/strong> was the creation of\u00a0a two-seat mid-engined V8<\/em>, and few can have expected the Turin designer to respond with such a\u00a0tour de force.<\/p>\n
