1985 – FERRARI – 288 GTO
1985 Ferrari 288 GTO
Rosso Corsa over Nero Leather with Red Inlays — One of the Most Significant Supercars Ever Built
The Ferrari 288 GTO represents the genesis of Ferrari’s modern supercar lineage — the spiritual father to the F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari. Conceived to homologate Ferrari’s entry into the FIA Group B category, it combined radical engineering with refined design, resulting in one of the most desirable road-going Ferraris ever produced. Only 272 examples were built, each assembled by hand at Maranello between 1984 and 1987.
This 1985 example is finished in the quintessential Rosso Corsa exterior over a Nero leather interior with red inlays, a color combination that perfectly captures the model’s dual character — elegance and aggression, road and race, past and future. Beautifully preserved, it remains in exceptional, highly original condition, showcasing the craftsmanship and purity of Ferrari’s mid-1980s engineering.
Powered by the legendary 2.855-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, derived from Formula 1 technology, the 288 GTO produces 400 PS and propels the car to over 300 km/h, making it the first road-legal Ferrari to cross that threshold. Its lightweight tubular chassis, Kevlar-reinforced bodywork, and advanced aerodynamics marked a technological revolution for the marque.
As one of the most coveted Ferraris ever built — rarer than its successor, the F40 — the 288 GTO represents the perfect balance between analog performance and timeless design. This Rosso Corsa over Nero example embodies the essence of Ferrari’s racing spirit and stands as a cornerstone of any significant collection.
