Ferrari 308s aren't particularly hard to find at car events, but the vast majority of examples I see are targa-top GTS models. That's probably because most owners today probably don't intend to drive their cars in such a way that the coupe's added rigidity would make a tremendous difference, so having the option to enjoy open-top cruising makes the GTS the more popular choice. Still, it's nice to see an exception. In fact, back when this early example was new, the GTS had not even been introduced yet, so having a fixed roof was the only way to go. Despite the GTS sharing the same profile, the GTB has a smoother overall appearance thanks to its uninterrupted body-colored roofline. And of course, you can't go wrong with classic Ferrari red!

Do you prefer the 308 as a coupe (GTB) or as a targa (GTS)? Leave a comment on YouTube and let me know!
