Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230

The Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230 reaches 60 mph in 6.83 s (100 km/h in 7.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.22 s, tripping the lights at 96.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 10.06 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230

The 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,286 kg with 231 bhp, which works out at 179 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 179 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.69 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,381st quickest to 60 mph, and the 111th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 96.4 mph, the 3,378th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

15.22 s at 96.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.06 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230 have?
231 bhp and 1,286 kg, which is 179 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230?
Closest here on pace: Acura NSX-T 3.0 V6 252 (6.89 s), Morgan Plus 4 2.0 (6.82 s), Maserati Bora 4.9 V8 280 (6.84 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole 2.9 V8 230 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
