1980 Ferrari 308 GT4: Bertone Designed | Petrolicious
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2020
- Sometime between his seventh and eighth birthday, Philippe Gardette sent a collection of his sports car designs in a letter to one of his favorite marques, Ferrari. Little did Philippe know back then, but his passion would catalyze into a 42-year-long career working with Prancing Horses. To give a sense of the level of kit that passes through his doors, Philippe pulls out a photo album and flips to a page that shows a 250 GTO on a lift above a 288 GTO-enough said.
Spending time around these near mythic cars hasn’t jaded him though, and his relatively humble 308 GT4 has more sentimental value than any GTO, as the once-controversial Bertone designed wedge was the first car that that Philippe worked on and maintained. In this week’s film, we invite you to join us in Clermont-Ferrand, France, as we celebrate the only Bertone-designed Ferrari, and Philippe’s ongoing story with his tidy 1980 example.

Retores car to showroom condition, drives it hard in the winter. My man!
Philippe was my first boss, I’ve learned everything from him during my apprenticeship. The Ferrari cars knowledge of this focussed and experienced man is unequalled. I visit him every time I come home to Clermont and still remember these 288 and 250 GTO on which we worked together on weekends… Thank you Petrolicious for sharing this. Let’s hope new generations will follow…
This may seem weird to many people but this is actually one of my favorite Ferrari designs.
Not at all. It's beautiful and timeless. Cheers.
It's one for the man, not the investment banker, it's cool.
you're right that is weird indeed
Axel Reunis mine too
not weird at all I love it as well bertone is great
308 gt4 looks great in dark blue.
Exactly the kind of gentleman you'd want working on your Ferrari. Excellent video!
That gentleman does not hang around when he's behind the wheel !!
This channel should have 8 million subscribers. I say the current numbers .... still not justifiable for the quality of content.
They were going to stop the videos and make it a paid subscription setup - this was a move deemed extremely salty to existing subs (myself included), a loss of momentum occurred and new sub numbers dwindled, coupled with a loss of existing subs. They relented thankfully.
Huh? They were going to keep the old format, and ADD paid content, and that is what they did. If you subscribe, there is another set of videos for you. The people who left were the ones who were salty because they could no longer get everything for free, even though they continued to get the old type of content for free.
@@michaeljoel2883 There are English subtitles. You just have to turn them on...
Porsche 996 Thank you for pointing that out. This video is much more enjoyable now!
Porsche 996 - maybe. I believe the original direction was to halt all videos and make it a paid subscription based content, while drip feeding YT with clips and ‘offcuts’ - vitaly style. The backlash was tremendous during that time. Remember nothing is for free. Viewers pay for an internet subscription, large channels such as this get money for views. UA-cam gets money off advertisers, advertisers get money of end users who use their promotion to pay for the goods etc etc.
Like most Ferrari fans, when I first saw these I didn't much care for them. But over the years, the wedge design has grown on me and I now consider it one of the most unique of the classic Ferrari's. Not to mention the fact they are one of the only classic Ferrari's where you can get a good, well cared for example for $60k-$70k.
Been wanting one of these for twenty years. Back then you could get one for $20k.
Be quick as next big move F car. Engine is basically a 90 degree 2/3 size Daytona engine. Down to bore and stroke and internals, carbs. Just 8 not 12 and in fact more hp per lt than the Daytona engine so for its time a hot number and all Ferrari'100%. Even has race serial numbering from the factory so the intention from the get go was obvious.
I have a Ferrari 458 and it just feels so special, I feel so privileged and fortunate. its strange but you can feel the care that went into making it. It surely deserves taking care of and respecting the craftsmanship to make such an item.
The 308 GT4 grows on you. First Ferrari with a V8. Beautiful car.
I love how he just low key calls out Ferrari in their current state of cars at 4:40
This was truly Wholesome
Because of Philippe Gardette, I may now need to find one of these beautiful undesired Ferraris ... Discretion, class, dynamic, sobriety with great driving sensations . Thank you so much for this great video !
Now that is a passionate and inspiring story....bravo!
A very cool and passionate guy. Excellent production and content quality.
I was fortunate to be a passenger in one of these last summer. Subtle, yet lovely exhaust sound accompanied by some occasional crackles.
EXCELLENT ton film sur la Ferrari 308 GT4 , mon ami Philippe . C'est une auto très attachante et j'ai vu , à Maranello , les toutes premières voitures assemblées à la main , en septembre 1974 . Elle s'appelait, alors , DINO 308 GT4 , mais ça , je ne vais pas te l'apprendre . Et la couleur en bleue , lui sied à merveille . MERCI Philippe pour ta passion pour cette marque qui a comblé ta vie ++++
I entrusted to Philippe Gardette, owner of Auvergne Motor in 1997 my Ferrari 250 GTE of 1962 of which I broke the tapered couple… He kept my car for 3 years in his Auvergne garage while at the time, I lived in Paris. Impossible to recover it because it had dismantled everything, up to the Weber carburetors which had disappeared from the engine. When I called him to find out where he was reassembling, he no longer took the phone, even making me insult by his mother ... I thank today a friend of Club Ferrari who helped me out of this dirty business threatening him to no longer bring Club Ferrari members to have their cars maintained at his house if he did not return mine repaired. I got it back after a week, bevel gear replaced. I learned, a few months later, that my car had served as a parts bank… I have today sold my 250 GTE, disgusted by this world of this type of old car. I have since bought a Ferrari Dino from 1971 which I have maintained at the Plantefol garage in La Ferté Loupière… They reconciled me with the prancing horse…
I like this guy, he combines modesty and true passion, not the kind that money buys, but the kind where your hands get dirty.
Such beautiful pieces of art. After all these years, still nothing does it like Petrolicious. Pure inspiration. True enthusiasts, true passion. GREAT video. FANTASTIC story. C’est Tres Tres Bon.
This was my first Ferrari a 1975 in Chiaro blue over tan GT4. I loved it and never should have traded it in on my Countach 5000QV... My wife and I took the Ferrari everywhere and no one would know what it was, so I never got keyed like so many Ferraris do. It was not perfect but I loved its flaws and the sound of the intake was just awesome.
Petrolicious back on form!
Fantastic video of a true enthusiast, and my favorite Ferrari.
Très grand respect pour ce monsieur et très belle voiture qui reflète bien un courant du style automobile italien de la fin des années soixante jusqu’en 75 environ.
As far as I know this the only Ferrari by Bertone and not Pininfarina. I think is beautiful
Excellent, cool dude, cool car! Thanks for this!
Quel belle voiture. Et le propriétaire est un vrai passionné.
Awesome car! Sounds the business and you've got to love the wedge shape!
so underrated!! except the Problems with rust a fantastic car
great. A pleasure to see this emotional film
It's amazing how they have just the right kind of track to go with the vid,perfect harmony ✌️🤩not to mention the editing.
I had only seen the GT4 in photos, didn't care for it, then I saw one in person and it is a beautiful automobile
Ferrari now is a corporate mega brand with the way the cars are made I think extraordinarily purists like this gentleman will be fewer and far between. What a great man and awesome video as ever Petrolicious.
1:36 soooo gooood
SUPERBE!! bravo!!
I’d like to be described by others as an outstanding gentleman one day.
Videos like this made me subscribe this channel. Thank you so much!
One of Ferrari's most underrated designs
That smile says it all!
The first Ferrari I ever saw was a 308 gt4 back when they were new in about 74, I was 10 and and I fell for Ferrari that day...
his satisfied smile at the end is delightful!
Je découvre ce modèle sur cette vidéo, très belle voiture. Bravo pour la restauration c'est du grand art monsieur !
Just discovered this Ferrari model on this video, such a beautiful car. Well done for restauring it sir, it's a work of art !
Ferrari licensed mechanic...what an awesome job!
Moi aussi je l'adore cette 308 gt4.
Très belle histoire que la votre Monsieur 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Haha je savais que celle ci t'aurait attirée direct mon ami !
@@minutepapillon5060 Dans mon garage de rêve direct avec sa copine Lotus S1 et sa sœur De Tomaso Pantera 1.
Devant la triplette Porsche 550, 356 et 911 😉.
Belle journée à toi Camarade Papillon 🙋🏻♂️
Beautiful film
Beautifully told story.
I love that car, I lo e that it is dirty too. He's not afraid to push it.
first ferrari I sat in and had a ride in was this car only it was light blue. love this model
I love a classic Ferrari
Très belle! Cette voiture a la même âge que moi. C'est une icône de son temps.
Une voiture tres belle, et tres chic, puor les connoisseurs, et pas pour les 'garcons'!! C'est vraimont une Ferrari pour les gentleman avec bon gout!
An amazing little Ferrari
Belle personne belle auto félicitations
Not exactly a fast car but a real beauty and it sounds wonderful. Plus it has the gated shifter so yes please. His shop seems so peaceful and right. It would be a great place to work I think.
5:11 we see you buddy
ape_status nice catch
Beautiful
THIS IS MY FAVORITE FERRARI! I HOPE SOME DAY TO GET ONE!!
fabuleux destin..
J ai toujours adoré l'idée d'une Ferrari 4 places avec moteur central.Cela permet de faire profiter les copains lors des ballades. Ajouter a cela un moteur a carburateur pour un son bien rauque, et non pas a injection, une boite de vitesse mécanique avec la légendaire grille métallique et non pas une palette de jeu video au volant. Voila pourquoi la 308 GT4 est une voiture formidable.
Maravilloso
Everyone gravitates towards the "sexy" cars but the 308 GT4 is a beautifully proportioned car.
// i love _BERTONE_ Design 😊
No idea what he said but understood everything
e.g John - Turn on Closed Caption and you’ll know what he said.
It seems more Lancia than Ferrari, but it is sooo nice...
Lovely
By all accounts I've read these were better handling drivers cars than either the 246 Dino or the more common 308. The longer wheelbase suited the car. A guy on the street where I grew up had one. Boxer colours, red with black base. In the flesh I remember it definitely looked the part. Unmistakably Italian and distinctly exotic.
Clean angular Bertone design
How do they find these beautiful cars that I would give one of my fingers to drive.
I love the 308 GT4. I love the way it looks and the way it drives. An early, Euro-spec, dry-sumped GT4 is one of the best Ferraris I've driven. Lightweight, immediate, responsive. Yes, yes. Pininfarina. Lovely stuff. There are also many lovely non-Pininfarina Ferraris - this one, several Vignale designs. Cosmetics - check. Then how about the way the car actually drives?
Sound is gone starting at 4:28. Please fix this! 😢
What colour is this car?- amazing!❤Does anyone know?
Voiture splendide , je l ai toujours aimee.
Mais pas en rouge.
Why does the soundtrack stop at 4:24 min.? What a pitty😢
Does the audio go silent after 4:30 for anyone else?
The Ferrari built for the 0.7% of Volvo owners who also like to go fast...
Too bad about the audio issue at 4:26 until the end. UA-cam copyright claim?
Wow, they even killed the captions.
Cooool
Everybody knows that Italian (and French) cars look best with yellow highbeams
Question - Were in France is the best place to get my Ferrari 308 GT4 seviced?
It’s not as pretty as pinifirina but I think it looks very cool. A unique Ferrari for sure .
Masculine design
Nice car, nice story 🇮🇹🏎
However it seams to be some color grading issue... or missing I’d say
There’s a lot of Lancia Stratos in the 308 GT/4 design. And that is not a bad thing. If the car industry doesn’t go down in flames (iffy) I think these could eventually find legs in the marketplace and generate larger appreciation.
English subtitles ????? Please
Anyone who knows the title of the piano song?
This Ferrari could be a good family car
Plus jolie qu'une Stratos ;-)
I'm just listening to "Ugly Beauty" by Thelonious Monk.
This channel should have 8mln subscribers or 80mln. True!!!
Comment for better share
i understand french but you should add subtitles to your video for other viewers that don’t understand french...
Basically he is a Ferrari mechanic, he bought this car because it was original and at the right price at the time for him,and he restored the car in its original color
It has... just click on the gear shape icon 4 from the right at the bottom which brings up subtitles, then click on English
I love the content , but I wish they would do translation on here
You can access the english sub-titles by clicking on the icon at the bottom right of the screen, 3rd icon in from the right, then select / click English "on".
@@savioracina3301 thank you did not know that
Doesn't Jason Cammisa own one of these?
Yes
@@Cameron-yz1ee Thought so. He seems to love his.
Bertome up bangle down
Gandini Design!
I'd trade it in for a Mustang Fastback and not think twice about it...
Strange that the v8 sounds like a 4....?
Yes the 308, 328 and 348 kind of “flow”...
1980??? Are you sure?
Built from 73 to 80.
La Lamborghini qui lui ressemble n'est pas la JALPA mais bien la URRACO.
