1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi (Australian Delivered)
The 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi sits at a fascinating point in Maranello’s history where timeless Pininfarina styling met the practical realities of tightening global emissions standards. For collectors, an Australian delivered example carries added desirability thanks to its rarity, authenticity, and compliance with local spec from new.
The 308 remains one of Ferrari’s most instantly recognisable shapes. Leonardo Fioravanti’s design, with its wedge profile, flying buttresses, and removable targa roof panel, is a perfect blend of aggression and elegance. Over 40 years on, the GTSi still commands attention like few cars of its era. With its low stance and sculpted curves, it embodies Ferrari’s golden age of analogue sports cars.
By 1982, Ferrari had transitioned the 308 to Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, hence the "i", trading a little raw performance from the carbureted predecessors for improved reliability, drivability, and emissions compliance. The 2.9-litre V8 produces around 205 hp, delivering its power with a characteristically free-revving nature. It’s not brutally fast by modern standards, but its balance, sound, and involvement more than make up for it.
Matched to a 5 speed gated manual gearbox, each shift is a tactile reminder of why Ferrari transmissions became legendary. The 308 is all about connection you feel the engine, gearbox, and road as one, making every drive an event.
The steering is unassisted and wonderfully direct, rewarding precise inputs. Handling is composed yet playful, with a mid engined balance that invites confident cornering. The ride is firm but not punishing, reflecting Ferrari’s focus on sports driving rather than touring comfort.
Inside, the cabin is a time capsule of 1980s Ferrari charm. Simple analogue gauges, slim leather seats, and a compact driving position create a cockpit designed purely for the driver. The GTSi’s targa top adds versatility, turning the car from coupe to open air experience in minutes. While luggage space is limited, it’s more practical than many imagine, with a usable front boot for weekend getaways.
Australian delivered examples are particularly prized due to their documented provenance and limited numbers compared to grey imports. Buyers today value originality and matching numbers above all else. While purists may still gravitate towards the earlier carbureted cars, the GTSi offers a more usable, reliable ownership experience without sacrificing the Ferrari magic.
The 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi is not just a car it’s an icon. Australian-delivered examples hold special collector appeal, combining rarity with the unmistakable soul of a classic Ferrari. More approachable than the raw carbureted models yet every bit as beautiful, the GTSi offers an intoxicating mix of style, sound, and analogue driving pleasure that modern cars simply can’t replicate.
