The Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS is a V8 mid-engined two-seater sports car designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina and produced by Ferrari from 1975 to 1985. It features a tube-frame chassis with a separate body, a transversely mounted flat-plane crankshaft 90-degree V8 engine with dual overhead camshafts per bank, a 5-speed dog-leg manual gearbox, limited-slip differential, all-independent double-wishbone suspension with anti-roll bars, four-wheel vented disc brakes, and unassisted rack-and-pinion steering. Early GTB models used GRP bodies (1975–1977), later switching to steel; all GTS models were steel-bodied. The model evolved through carburetted, fuel-injected (GTBi/GTSi), and quattrovalvole (four-valve) variants, with distinct power outputs and technical updates. Rally versions were developed by Michelotto for Group 4 and Group B competition, including the purpose-built GT/M. The car gained iconic status via its role in Magnum, P.I., and was named number five on Sports Car International’s Top Sports Cars of the 1970s list in 2004.

The Ferrari 365 GTB/4, commonly called Daytona, is a two-seat grand tourer introduced at the 1968 Paris Motor Show. Its front-mounted V12 drove the rear wheels.

The Ferrari 512 BB replaced the 365 GT4 BB in 1976. It belongs to the Berlinetta Boxer family, but this carburetted model should be distinguished from the later fuel-injected 512 BBi.
