Italian tuner Automobili Maggiore to follow up restomod 308 GTS with turbocharged 600hp monster 😮
Alright, so this isn't quite a Ferrari 288 GTO restomod. There aren’t enough millions of pounds in the world to take apart one of those and attempt to modernise it. Instead, the Automobili Maggiore GranTurismO takes the 308 and aims to “satisfy the demands of those customers who love the 80s, but are looking for a more ‘hardcore’ atmosphere compared Project M”. That’s ‘M’ as in Magnum, Maggiore’s first project that paid homage to the world’s most famous Ferrari-driving PI.
Understandably, a whole host of additional tweaks have been incorporated into an engine now producing more than double its original horsepower. Only the crankcase is retained, the GTO now benefitting from redesigned heads, individual throttle bodies and an intercooler in the intake manifold to reduce lag. Now dry sumped and with a host of new bespoke parts, Maggiore reckons the 2.9 V8 is actually 30 per cent smaller dimensionally than the original engine.
