The 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, with a removable targa roof, succeeded the 308 GTSi, and was unveiled at the 1982 Paris Salon concurrently with the 308 GTB Quattrovalvole model. The Quattrovalvole part of the model name referred to the four valves per cylinder heads on the engine.

Visually the new model was very similar to the outgoing one, but could be recognized by the addition of a slim louvre panel in the front lid to aid radiator exhaust air exit, paired electrically operated door mirrors with a small enamel Ferrari badge on the shell, a revised radiator grille with rectangular driving lights at the extremities, and rectangular (instead of round) side repeater lights.

Tucked into the rear of the 308 QV is a 3.0-liter V8 engine that produces 240 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque.

This magnificent beast of a machine, with that four-valve per cylinder configuration, is a marvel of engineering and a testament to Ferrari’s legacy of creating high-performance power units. As you turn the key in the ignition, secure and comfortable in the bucket-style seats, the large, easy-to-read Veglia Borletti analogue gauge clusters within easy sightlines, the car comes to life with a deep, throaty growl that slightly increases in pitch when you push the accelerator. The power delivery is smooth, the engine’s response is immediate, and the noise levels are just right.

From 1984 onwards Ferrari’s place in Pop Culture owes many thanks to actor Tom Selleck’s archetypal Thomas Magnum character in the hit TV series Magnum P.I. Magnum’s red Quattrovalvole, tearing through the Hawaiian landscape, became synonymous with adventure, glamour, and the open spirit of the 1980s.

The GTS, with its removable roof panel, catered to those who loved the thrill of open-air driving. In terms of production, the Ferrari 308 QV enjoyed a four-year run, from 1982 to 1985, ensuring its place as the largest selling Ferrari of its era.

In that period, 748 units of the GTB model and 3042 units of the GTS model were produced, in the chassis number range 41701 to 59265, making these cars beautiful and relatively rare.

These limited numbers add to the allure and desirability of the 308 QV among Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors.
