Launched at the 1985 Frankfurt International Motor Show alongside the 3.2 Mondial 2+2, Ferrari’s new 328 continued and built upon the mid-engine V-8 layout of Ferrari’s two-seat sports cars established by the Pininfarina-designed 308 GTB and GTS models. Featuring taut bodylines clearly descended from its more curvaceous predecessors, the new 328 was also offered in Berlinetta (GTB) and Targa-type (GTS) body styles. Aerodynamic

• One of the last Ferrari models engineered during Enzo Ferrari’s lifetime enhancements ushered in by the 328 included bumpers closely integrated with the bodywork, a new frontal treatment with a wider grille, and a discreet rear spoiler mounted atop the rear roofline. Aesthetics aside, lowered aerodynamic drag and improved downforce at high speeds were dual benefits of the redesigned body of the new 328.

Mechanical updates heralded by the 328 included a larger-displacement 3.2-litre development of the four-valve 308 Quattrovalvole engine, hence the new Ferrari’s ‘328’ designation, denoting 3.2 litres and eight cylinders. As with the preceding 308 models, the 328’s engine was transversely mounted in a unit with the all-synchromesh five-speed gearbox assembly, which was positioned below and to the rear of the engine’s oil sump. Handling is outstanding, with braking to match, and enhanced by mid-1988 with the addition of ABS. Striking “flatface” five-spoke alloy wheels were utilized during the 328’s early years, becoming reshaped to a convex shape to accommodate the new ABS-type braking system of the later-production cars. In addition to cutting-edge styling and performance improvements, the 328 also delivered greater interior comfort with optional air-conditioning and reshaped seats, plus further attention paid to driverand-machine interaction.

The 328 was produced for only four years until the fall of 1989, when the 348 TS debuted as its replacement, making the 328 the last of the long line of transverse mid-engine Ferrari models dating back to the 1960s. The 328 is also historic, as it is one of the final models launched during the lifetime of Enzo Ferrari, the company’s legendary founder. Just 6,068 Targa-top 328 GTS examples were produced during the four-year production, ensuring it would never lose its desirability and collectability stature.
