The racy sports car was an extremely\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003elightweightvehicle made from fibreglass, aluminium and Kevlar, boasting\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e400 PS and breaking the 300 km\/h barrier – which was a record at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Rally Class B came to an abrupt end in 1986 following two fatalities,\u003cbr\u003eFerrari had by that point already developed its works\u003cbr\u003eracer. Whilst the homologated 288 GTO was already a very\u003cbr\u003esporty car, the 288 GTO perfected in-house –\u003cbr\u003ewhich was given the suffix ‘Evolutione’ – took the crown. It now boasted\u003cbr\u003ea truly incredible 650 PS, and weighed\u003cbr\u003e940 kg, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 1.61 kg\/PS –\u003cbr\u003ewhich, at the time, was close to the ideal of 1 kg\/PS!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, no one ever found out how this rally monster would have fared\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003eagainst the Porsche, Lancia or Audi competition, as the Italian\u003cbr\u003eworks racer never competed in a race! Five examples\u003cbr\u003eof the rally Ferrari, capable of speeds of almost 370 km\/h, were built, but\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003enone of them were ever used in racing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Autocult Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50069139390749,"sku":"ATC90371","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/5912\/7837\/files\/IMG_2125_de300.jpg?v=1787235580","url":"https:\/\/touring-modelcars.com\/en\/products\/ferrari-288-gto-evoluzione-1984-red-1-43","provider":"Thomas Langejürgen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
