La Ferrari 288 GTO fu presentata per la prima volta al Salone di Ginevra nel marzo 1984. Costruita a scopo di omologazione per competere nel Gruppo B della FIA per gare e rally, fu la prima Ferrari a portare il nome "GTO" dopo l'iconica 250 GTO. Per l'omologazione erano necessari solo 200 esemplari, ma l'interesse per questo nuovo modello fu tale che la Ferrari ne costruì 72 in più del necessario.

This 288 GTO is one of just 272 examples ever produced, making it an exceptionally rare and coveted model in the marque’s history. Delivered new to a then-active Formula One driver, this particular car carries with it an exciting provenance that adds even further to its desirability. With only 9,215 kilometers on the odometer and a short chain of ownership among prominent collectors, it has clearly been cherished and carefully preserved throughout its life.

This is truly a spectacular example and is offered for sale complete with its Ferrari ‘Red Book’ Classiche certification, its original handbooks including its service/warranty supplement (which is something that is not often seen with examples today) plus its spare wheel, tool kit and a dedicated history file.
