The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 through 1987, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologato (homologated in Italian)
The Ferrari GTO was built to compete in the new Group B Race series and a minimum of 200 cars were required for homologation. However, after the death of Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto n the 1986 Tour de Corse, the FIA disestablished the class, leaving just the Group A Rally championship. As a result, the 288 GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained purely road cars.
Some of the 288 GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Salon. This included the deep front spoiler, fender flares, rear lip spoiler, front lid radiator cooling louvers and quadruple driving lights.
1, 2 and VTOL to drive, roll to steer. Enjoy!

@Timmy123429 thanks - that means very much to me.
ok your still my favorite car builder@jsaret
@Timmy123429 yeah, bit busy with studies, and the fact that it topped 100F yesterday doesn't help. Stay tuned.
Make a new frame I like your cars but your just using the same idea over and over again
oh...............!@jsaret
@Sirstupid hmm ok. I'll build something else. Only reason this car is so similar to the F40 is because the F40 is this car's direct successor.
It seems a little too similar to your other replicas. @jsaret
@Sirstupid thanks…no one seems to like this one. Any idea why?
