Ferrari 328

The Ferrari 328 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) and GTS (Gran Turismo Spider) was the successor to the Ferrari 308 GTB and GTS. Small modifications were made to the body style and engine, most notably an increase in engine displacement to 3.2 L (3185 cc) for increased power and torque output.

The 328 GTS model, together with the fixed roof 328 GTB, were the final developments of the normally aspirated transverse V8 engine 2-seat series. The 328 figures in the model title referred to the total cubic capacity of the engine, 3.2 litres, and 8 for the number of cylinders. The new model was launched at the 1985 Frankfurt Salon alongside the Mondial 3.2 series.

The front and rear suspension are independent, double wishbones, with coil springs, telescopic dampers, and anti-roll bars. The steering is rack and pinion. The transmission is a 5-speed manual transmission. The 328 GTS continued in production for four years, until replaced by the Ferrari 348 ts model in 1989.

In 1986 Ferrari launched a two-litre, turbocharged and intercooled variant of the 328, designated simply GTB Turbo and GTS Turbo—replacing the previous 308-based, non-intercooled, Ferrari 208 GTB/GTS Turbo.
