This week on #DriveEveryFerrari we present a perfect example of the highly collectable Ferrari 328, and it’s the GTB hard top - which is rarer than an F40!
Kindly lent to the CarGuys by friend of the channel, Paul, and filmed on location at DK Engineering, this sweet classic Ferrari mid-engined V8 Berlinetta is a prime candidate for the CarGuys garage, but what’s it actually like to drive and live with?
Well, look no further than a whole episode on this nippy Rosso Corsa beast, including its history, special features, a look at that super-cool Pininfarina body, the interior, the engine, a full road test, and of course, some Beans.
Is this the best entry level Ferrari? Should you own one? Should WE own one? How does it feel on modern, potholed roads? Is it fast? Does it feel old? What’s with all those weird switches? And also, how you can tell a 328 from a 308?
All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
Thank you for watching

Lets not forget that the F40 and of course the 288 were based on the basic bones of the 308/28. A truly iconic Ferrari for any generation of enthusiast - and quite straightforward to maintain too. 👍👍
No one ever forgot that.
My all time favourite looking Ferrari that led into my dream car - the 288 GTO
That is gorgeous. I've never seen an F40 in the flesh, but I have seen a 328. My Dad took me to Bradford (the nearest Ferrari dealer) when I was a kid to have a look, as I was such a Ferrari fan.
The boys are back together with their usual banter and fizzy winkies for a fabulous episode on the classic 328 GTB. An iconic Ferrari, who didn't lust after one in the 70s? A mate of mine had one and he was dating a gorgeous, well endowed blonde to boot. Stuff that dreams were made off. Great episode guys. Loving the solid gold, Damien.
Sat in one as a 18 year old in a Beverly Hills showroom. Remember offset and hard pedals and steering wheel. Gated girbox.
Classic ferrari style. Such a pretty car, no modern car is pretty in this way, modern cars can look dramatic and aggressive, but they are not pretty.
Recently got to working on some Ferrari 328 GTB coilovers. Did not expect to see that in my first month of my apprenticeship, especially because I work at a motorcycle shop.
Another great video gents, as always 👍🏻
If I may toss out a suggestion, it could be quite interesting to hear the owners of the cars you review to give their thoughts on their ownership experience as compared to your own after having driven the cars. Assuming the owners are on board of course 😊
In any event, these videos are always a pleasure to watch and let’s hope Jason finds the 328 GTS of his dreams 🤙🏻
Very good review as usual and I fully agree with you if you compare 328 to a 308 carburettor version. But if you compare to a 308 Quattrovalvole, apart from a more little displacement, in term of practicality it's exactly the same (with the benefit of the old toggle switch compared to the plastic ones). And yes ...I own one so I definitely admit to be partisan😂😂😂.
100% and snap
I owned one for a few years back around the turn of the century. You could pick them up for about £30k then. They're a good car to scratch the Ferrari itch with - not too expensive to own ( though we are talking about a 30 yr old Ferrari which was not that well made when new, so anything is possible to go wrong ).
It's now really car for a Sunday morning blast. Too compromised really for a GT. I took it once for a tour around Italy and many limitations soon become apparent ( luggage space, appalling ventilation, lovely noise for a short while but tiring noise for a long while ). Steering is heavy at low speed but lovelier thru bends. Not quick but more than fast enough. Most will have many, many owners. It is the type of car you enjoy for a few years and then move on to something else...
Still looks gorgeous. The GTS model was my dream car in the 80’s and yes I still want one.
100k congrats guys!!Any celebration vid? Well done keep going, thanks again
Cheers, dude
Thanks guys, a brilliant video yet again! I know Paul and he certainly is one for detail which is why he car is such a lovely example. I also have a 328 GTB so was fascinated to hear your thoughts on the car which are very similar to my mine, except for with the cornering, as I find the GTB handles like it is on rails, the cornering is so tight and the feedback is in a different league to modern day cars which are so lumpy and heavy in comparison. As a 35 year old car, it is never going to compare to driving a modern car - but it is such an event every time I drive it, it provides so much drama! Keep the videos coming please!!! 😀🙏🙏👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video thanks! Started as a dream looking in the window at Maranello concessionaires, I’ve owned my 328 GTS for nearly 20 years now. The turn in is actually great when you brake before the corner and accelerate round, it just squats lower and feels really rewarding when you nail it, (just like the manual box) Think the roof off in the spider adds to the driving experience too. Drove mine to LeMans with two peoples luggage, a tent and fold up chairs in the boot! Still love it as much every time I see it even now..
Great to hear, Malcolm
I had a 328 gts about 20 years ago.Maxxed it on the autoroute in a foreign land… it was an ‘experience’ shall we say. At 270kph, it felt like the tyres were barely touching the ground. The car was moving around a lot and even with a 5 lane motorway, breaking was a buttocks clenching moment. The stock sound is pretty poor, needs a well chosen exhaust. Controls are very heavy (steering) and make the car feel bigger than it is. Oh, and it likes a drink! For comparison a 964 c2 manual is a much nicer drive. The 328 is the prettiest Ferrari of the past 50 years though.
Great comments
Just loving the Drive Every Ferrari Series. The banter is great between you to guys. Keep the videos coming please. 😎👍
More to come!
Great Video guys, many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Damien - looking very svelte these days. Great vid!!!
Thanks 👍
Thank you ❣️ perfect review loved every part of it! I'll definitely replay it many times.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is a great channel! Thanks guys
Glad you enjoy it!
Look! Jasons here ..328? dude really?
I am a 308 dude ,if i want to commit the original sin ,give me the apple not a bottle of apple juice .
Like almost all redesigned Ferraris , the 328 feels like a downgrade in the aspect that it is a "fixed" version of what came originally,it maybe be the better version but its not the BEST version.
Its a constant contradiction but if you collect anything,you know it . Rarer sometimes, doesn't mean more valuable and upgraded doesn't mean the best(even if factually it is).
Keep the shirt though !
GREAT video its always cool to see you both.
Always enjoy your ferrari content. Thank you
That interior is gorgeous
The video I’ve been waiting for, Paul is indeed a massive legend! I loved this car so much I replicated this poster 0:35 as a painting at A1 on my school art folder. Prefer the black spoiler over the body coloured one. Other than perhaps the 355, this is the one I would buy, just need a few more dividends! 👍
Definitely the pick for me too. Lovely, quite dainty and just enough power to be manageable without scaring the squirts out of you. Great review as always and the banter is engaging as well as spontaneous. Thanks for posting.
👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful. Who wouldn't buy the gts?
Thanks for the fantastic video. I just bought a 328...a childhood dream come true. Not the fastest, but an analog classic. Speed isn't everything. :)
Right on!
I love this car! I know someone with an identical, MINT example, and the Fischer C-TECH cassette holder is so evocative. Absolutely brilliant VID! 😄👍🏻😂 Well done Guys!
👍🏻👍🏻
Great review of a great Ferrari guys !! Well Done !
Thanks, Barry
Your videos guys are fantastic, honest and very honest. I always enjoy watching.
Thank you
A great video and review as always guys. We’re not sure the 328 is better than the more iconic 308 though 😊. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Some thoughts. The injected 308s probably give you a lot of the more modern power delivery feel, with the classic looks of the interior and exterior. I’m surprised at you saying it doesn’t like fast hairpins. I have a 308 and it’s a peach in the corners. It’s a ball to drive.
Either way, Jason should buy one. I’ve had mine for 12 months and it still puts a huge grin on my face. I’d really struggle to part with it.
I always look for that top spoiler to confirm! Beverly hills cop didn't hurt the cars image."100 to 150mph like that"😅👍👍👍
Another great vid. Wonderful editing by the way you really worked hard on this...bravo. 328GTB is the Ferrari I grew up with. Pininfarina's masterpiece
👍🏻👍🏻
A proportionally beautiful car.Cheers guys, another brilliant video.
Great video, and one of real nostalgia for me as my dad had one back then. I watched this with him, although he was sure the 0-60mph time was 5.5 seconds, as that was the reason he moved on from the 308; it was a big step forward.
GTB...yum!
I’m going to enjoy this video I know that before it’s even started.
Appreciate that
Great car. Tried a pre ABS at Talacrest once. Loved it. My second favorite after the F355. Great video. Thanks
Nice one.
Thanks!
Was the car poster on my wall as a kid. Magnum Pi was a factor…❤❤
I enjoyed the review guys! I was waiting to hear what you thought of Paul’s great car!
I’m happy to hear Jason is thinking of one now. Good choice!
But you both know full well you can’t compare these cars to anything newer in terms of braking or handling performance, or driving position. And nobody should buy these cars with practicality in mind. There is nothing practical about a Ferrari.
That never entered into my head once when I bought my 328 or Testarossa. I think the main reason guys like us buy these cars is for the experience and how it makes you feel. I think your viewers would like to hear that!?No new car can give you this satisfaction when you drive them the way their were intended on the right roads. You don’t need to be going Mach stink to be mesmerized by the car and the event. If you’re a product of the 70’s, you want a true analog, Ferrari “experience” the 328 is the best one to live with! Period! Some good for thought. Cheers Jason #jcr_cars
There is a great article in Car magazine from July 1986 comparing editor Steve Cropley’s Ferrari 308 to the then new 328.
That is one of the best looking Ferraris ever, which of course makes it one of the best looking cars full stop, but you might be right, the 355 might just edge it with that perfect blend of old and new...
Great video of a magnificent beast.... 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Another great vid boys thank you 🙌🏻🫡
ABS brakes made quite a difference. Kg/Hp ratio: 328 4.68, 348 5.07, Testarossa 4.44… The 328 is great to drive and actually not so slow… I love it.
depends on the car, not all TR's were created Equal, some were slower, others faster, as such is the nature of a hand made car, which people often forget, and the 308 series of engine based cars is no different, like with the 308 one guy fixes it up and does nothing to overhaul it and it runs like you wouldnt believe
another the things been down for well over a year and a half as he upgrades the fuel system, and TR's are much the same
also the 328 doesnt hold together when you staple two turbos and boost it to 600 horsepower, the TR does
just Ask John Carmac! which is probably why the F40 used the 308 and not the 328 lump,
as all those numbers give you is a vague idea based on a general example that you dont have access to, the real secret is in the weight balance and the bias and the gearing
as one is geared for 160, the other 180 and revs to 5,600 RPM, the 308's like 6 or 7, and cant even do a burnout given how high the power is in the rev range unless you really dump the clutch
now a 308/328 would smoke a corvette however, atleast a pre 89 one before they updated to the L89 and got the power up and kicking, especially with that god awful crossfire system
which removed a full 1K of revs on every engine it was attached to, and then there's an owner in the UK who just wasted 40 K putting a tesla in his TR when all he needed to do was put some 3.11's in the rear, like I hope he kept the reciet and the motor
as what a waste of a perfectly good car, like every problem on a TR is fixable, they had different tire and rim sizes, the steering rack changed, they went to a double disc clutch in 86' and you can fit the 512TR gearbox to a TR,
just find someone who can set it up and go with it as is, not DO THAT to it.
Great vid as always. - cannot wait for a presentation of a F 288 GTO ❤❤❤
Simple but beautiful, I just love the design
That’s my favourite Ferrari of all time, great video
Thanks for the Video. As Jason, i am looking for myself after a 328 oder Mondial at the moment. Good examples are rare and prices are rising. Cheaper models have quit some maintanance to Do...
Hope you find a GTB like that one, Jason. And soon. Great review.
Love the 328! That's the Ferrari I want myself. I loved the 308s when I was a kid watching Magnum P.I. but the 328 was a nice update. And it looks very easy to maintain. Just a fun car to have and drive instead of worrying about service all the time.
Wow that 328 is mint! Perfect for Jason too! Just watch your head getting in!
Thanks for the addition of VHS mic recordings during the test drive, you think of everything. My recent rari love i fell for two rastatossers in black and met black at Thomas Smits place...
What a drool-worthy video, gentlemen! Two people in love with an older car which, quite frankly, I would trade in my granddaughter's inheritance to own! Thank you both for making it so much fun. One comment I just have to make - nothing to do with the car - is that I thought that the roads around my part of Cambridgeshire were bad, but I've never seen such pothole-ridden tracks masquerading s main roads in my life. My current fun/weekend toy is a 2015 SLK AMG version, which shakes the lenses out out my spectacles on our local roads - G*d alone what it would be like around Chorleywood.......
Waiting for an E-type review. Loved this Ferrari review. Oh yes, time for some “ driver shoes” gentlemen.😊
I agree lads, foam puncture kits are rubbish. I use those cheap but very effective reamer kits, aka Philip Schofield specials. Have two plugs in my motorbike back tyre now, holding air perfectly.
It was a poster of the 308 Quattrovalvole which started my love affair with Ferrari and why I would never want any other performance make.of course Magnum Pi and The Cannonball Run too helped. But always as a child preferred the 328 as I loved the front more and the updates as it seemed just more modern and that’s why it’s my favourite Ferrari
Excellent video - you should have your own tv show! I love the 328
👍🏻👍🏻
The 328 started my love for Ferrari🙂
Always a classic the 328❤
I’m with Jason, as a 50 year old man the 308 and the 328 have always been inspirational for me and the reason I fell in love with Ferrari. I’d own either in another life.
I loved this episode but I’m curious , there were many vintage Ferrari in the background so is there more Drive Any Ferrari episodes coming from this stable??????
Wouldn’t that be nice
.....this is a pet Ferrari....such lovely gentle drive for summer weekend....how different had to be the extreme version Willy Koenig built when found stock 328 boring from his perspective of a racing driver and added eeeeverything ...it had to be transformation into baby godzila....
I own a 328GTS and have done so since 2005, The car is rewarding to drive, I really do give it beans.
The ideal Ferrari having very low and simple maintenance requirements for the cost of ownership. This simplicity is very appealing.
You have to learn to drive them fast, being an old 1980s superbike rider it all makes sense with speed, a generous but delicate right foot in the apex as you discover the beautiful balance front to rear on exit with beans powering you through the other side, the car is very predictable and rewarding.
The absolute JOY is not having anything electronic, No ABS, No Power steering, Just you and classic Ferrari with many compromises making it real.
The Ferrari 328 GTS is a very capable car on tighter, flowing back and mountain roads in Australia. Join the fun and mix it up with the new more modern generations leaving them aghast at how good the Ferrari 328 really is. You will never have to say Sorry Boys, I couldn't keep up :) :)
The 512, 288, 308,328,348 etc were the most beautiful cars of this era I think. But it is hard to choose any one.
Owned a US 328 GTB for about 10 years. Great car, great example of a Ferrari. It does have a lot of understeer dialed in. You just have to man handle it around curves and it will make it.
I always enjoy your videos. I love this style too but would be afraid of all the problems waiting to say hello. I've never driven a Ferrari but I would have to get a 458 if I ever had the money.
They all will have their problems but the 308/328s do have some benefits in that regard. Every major service item can be addressed with the engine in. Cam belts/tensioners/belt drive bearings are done through the os wheel arch. Clutch through the new without even the need to pull the box. They are old tech, mechanical injection. Even the electronic ignition is extremely basic. Furthermore parts are for the most part very cheap from aftermarket suppliers. I bought an injected 308 that had been in storage for 31 years. I do all the work on it myself they are that simple which is not unusual for us 3x8 owners. They are probably your best bet for a first Ferrari on a “budget”
A Mondial 3.2 is better value. They are the choice of the Historic Racer’s too. My 1988 Mondial 3.2 Coupe is a delight.
I couldn`t agre more…. Love me 328 GTB 😇🤗
I’ve never known where the the gas cap is and how you open it…I know the gts has a key on the side louver but how does the 328 open?
Amazing, love love love the 328. But being 6”2’ I’d need the gts. Also next time, watch check!! Before I stick those Rosary bleeds up your nose, 😂😂
These bleeds ?
@@Carrera-gp9od 😂😂
Let's not forget that this particular model is 1 of 77 pre abs RHD GTB's,so very rare indeed.Great video.
Cool video. Juste a little correction : the Mondial 3.2 wheels are not related to the ABS version. The ABS came before the concave wheels though, and after that followed by the Mondial convex wheels replacement. So you find convex wheels with no ABS (and upgrated suspension lower arms).
Thanks for the info!
appreciated the rizla reference for all those who didn't, very accurate
I owned a 328GTS in Chiaro Blue for 6 years back in the 80’s, I px’d it for a Lamborghini Diablo VT which was beast, made the Ferrari feel a tad pewney !
Ironically I just purchased a 328 GTS this last week and completely agree with your assessment. If you don't like classic cars you won't like this car. If you do, you will love it. It is one of the prettiest cars Ferrari ever mass produced.
How much
@@shaniapearcey How much $$? In the USA? In looking around go from 80 to 140K depending on year, mileage, condition, records. There's a wide range to pick from. GTS much easier to get than GTB. About 6 times as many GTS's were made than GTB. 328's go for a little more than 308 in apples to apples condition.
Good review guys.Easier to own and faster than my '77 GTB but lacks that classic interior and induction sounds imho.Considering that Niki Lauda had input in development and Gilles Villeneuve had a GTS commuting from Monaco to Maranello it has a touch more fizz and can still produce a few goosebumps after 30+ years @ Monza etc..
Leonardo Fioravanti revised the range of the 328 the 3.2 QV Mondial which shared the same lights and front vents as the Testarossa, The front of the 412 was completely different so no idea why that was in the vid??. Anyway, loving the previous vids on the F40 what a machine!!! and yes, of course why not mention it's the same V8 in the 308 328 3.2 QV Mondial F40 and 288 "obviously turbo charged etc with more power in the F40 and 288 but the DNA can all be traced back to the Dino V6 which goes all the way back to the Ferrari Dino Sharknose... Anyway another You Tube channel for people interested in Ferrari is "Barkaways" they have done some fantastic incredibly well detailed video's of the F40 and it's masterpiece V8, "highly recommended" to watch Barkaways channel for all people interested in Ferrari history....
Prettiest car ever made
I'd love to know; when you say it has a "modernized" feel, does the 328 loose the analog sensation of vs. the 308? There's something special about the analog feel of old car...if that makes sense.
Is this Ferrari model the same one Tom Selleclk drove in the Americn TV series MagnumP.I.?
No, that’s the 308 GTS
I was an 80s kid so naturally I love that car 🚘
I really, really wanted one. Went to drive one with the intention to buy, only to find that I do not fit in it (I’m 1m91 tall). That literally broke my heart. Lovely episode guys!
GTS 👍🏻
@@TheCarGuysTV No worries, I compensated for the disappointment by buying a 348ts followed by an F355 GTS and a 355 Spider 😉. Still want a 328 though
I watched the 308 video a few times and it seems to me your faces were actually showing a much wider grin, especially when hearing the induction noise from the carbs. The 328 may be more modern, but is that a good thing actually? Outdated features, isn’t it the whole point of driving a classic car? My heart goes to the original carbureted 308 with Bakelite switches. Looking forward to the test of the 308 GT4 😊
Stunning car, though I prefer the purer, sharper lines of the 308. I also suspect (from what I've read), that because the gts body structure isn't as rigid as the berlinetta it may not be as rewarding to drive fast.
Jason should own one but in GTS guise. My favourite as well ❤
I think I saw that. Car in chesterfield going into Tesco car park , it was the no plate that caught my eye
I love it when the "Guys" are both here. Cheers 🍻
Wish Jason could be in every "Drive Every Ferrari"!
A time when design at Ferrari was classy and simple. The new models now look over designed in parts. Pop up lights are always the coolest.
Beautiful car. Oh how the Ferrari options lost has changed!
My favourite too. Childhood thing. But, did you realise the seats are ¾ scale? Head rests at shoulder height???
When are we going to see the E-Type Jason
If you like this car, you will like even more the mondial 3.2. Better road comfort, more space, better seats...I own both so can compare.
A quick look for a 328 GTB in the US shows them priced at $189K to $200K. Somehow there are some GTS models hitting around $300K. The 308 can be had for under $100K. You could have a 599 GTB Fiorano for a little less. Pre-COVID the 599 could be had for under $100K if you looked really hard. I have to say I think the 308 is prettier, they sell for under $100K but up to $180K. Crazy prices. BTW, one could get the same year Mondial for $55K to $80K. I’ve been tracking a specific coupe that is available for $57K.
I am born in 1985 , love these 80s Ferrari's❤
328 might just be my all time favourite Ferrari 👍
The zip tied cables are not correct. Shouldn't;t be there, would lose a point at a Concorso event as well as a non genuine coolant header sticker too.
The dashboard upper is vinyl not leather.
The bits of black foam over the centre console and around the switches and a big bit stuck in the centre "small" air vent is from the a/c lines breaking down.
Can be fixed but a fiddly job.
My 328GTS doesn't understeer at all, am least not at these speeds. But then I have 4 new Michelin tyres. My brakes could also be better.
But I would love to try a GTB, the GTS doesn't have the best torsional rigidity to say the least. I might prefer the handling of the GTB.
But, just like you, it is a bit clostrophobic and there is a bit of sound resonance + ok but not great Aircon. So I find it tiring with the hard top on but much much better without the roof.
So structural rigidity vs comfort.
And I own a F355 Berlinetta ... And prefer the 328 to drive because it is easier in town with the low down torque, the tiny steering wheel, the speed bump clearance... And I really don't like the F355 steering even if it is a more capable car.
(I should be less modest about my cars because my GTS is more concourse than this one... Yet I didn't rate it as concourse with my insurer)
Is it a security feature? (the hidden door handle) as may be possible to easily steal an eighties ferrari but they'd struggle to get out and lets face it they'd be spotted instantly! unless in Monaco of course...
