1980 Ferrari 308 GT4: Bertone Designed | Petrolicious

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
  • 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.

    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…

    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 ++++

      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.

      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. TH-cam gets money off advertisers, advertisers get money of end users who use their promotion to pay for the goods etc etc.

    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…

    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.

      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.

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.

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.

  • @michaelhughes3302
    @michaelhughes3302 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @stuffhappens5681
    @stuffhappens5681 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.
