The Ferrari 288 GTO is an automotive icon produced by the Italian supercar manufacturer in the mid-1980s. It is considered by many to be the first of Ferrari’s most coveted models, leading the way for others such as the F40, F50, and Enzo. Originally designed to compete in the FIA Group B racing series, the 288 GTO was never actually entered into any races due to the series being canceled. As part of his newest YouTube upload, Ferrari Collector David Lee pulls out the 1985 288 GTO from his impressive collection of classic and modern Ferrari examples.
