After the unprecedented popularity of the Ferrari 308 that had in nine years become the most commercially successful Ferrari ever, a revised machine was introduced, albeit one clearly based on the outgoing model. Built from spring 1985 until late 1989, the Ferrari 328 was available in either Berlinetta (GTB) or targa-topped Spyder (GTS) configurations. Throughout the course of these four-and-a-half years, 328's remained largely unchanged, the most significant development having been the introduction of ABS brakes as standard for the final year of production.The chassis was a fundamentally unaltered tubular steel spaceframe from the 308, this itself having been a shortened version of the type used on 1974's 308 GT4. In turn, GT4's had little more than a stretched frame from the 206 GT Dino launched way back in 1968. However, despite an obvious ancestry going back nearly twenty years, such were the poise, balance and dynamics of all these machines that few serious modifications were required to keep the 328 at the top of the junior supercar league. Perhaps the most significant set up change was the addition of a quicker Ferrari 288 GTO-spec steering rack. Engine displacement on Ferrari's new Tipo F105 CB engines was increased from three to 3.2-litres (3185cc to be precise), this a result of stretching both the bore and stroke to 83mm and 73mm respectively. Output also rose, to 270bhp at 7000rpm (260bhp for US spec 328's) after an increase in compression (from 9.2:1 to 9.8:1) and rise in intake valve lift. As usual, Bosch K-Jetronic was the fuel injection system of choice. Importantly, Tipo Ferrari F105 CB motors retained the 308 QV's alloy crankcase, but now featured aluminium in-liners in place of the steel ones used for outgoing F105 AB powerplants. Performance figures were once again moved on, the 328 sprinting from zero to sixty in 5.7 seconds and running on to a maximum speed of 158mph (5.9 seconds and 153mph for US-spec cars).Pininfarina subtly updated what had become the definitive small sports car design of its era to produce one of the eighties most beautiful motorcars. Some even consider 328's to be even more attractive, no small compliment when you consider Ferrari 308's are widely acknowledged to be among the most impressive post-war automotive designs. Distinctive changes came in the form of redesigned bumpers that, at the front, housed new supplementary lighting clusters and an alloy grille, the nose and tail alterations contributing significantly to the 328's fresh-faced look.
