Ferrari 308 Performance Overview
Ferrari’s 308 was produced from 1977 to 1985, and across 4 verified tests spanning those model years, the Type F106 charts a clear progression in straight-line performance. Early U.S.-spec examples were defined by naturally aspirated gasoline V8 power from engines including the F105CB and F105AB, with output within a 214–252 hp range. In the available data, the 1977 GTB Coupe set the baseline at 7.9 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the 308’s initial performance profile.
Through the early 1980s, incremental gains followed as the targa-bodied GTSi variants evolved. The 1982 GTSi Targa reduced the sprint to 60 mph to 7.6 seconds, and the 1983 GTSi QV Targa cut that further to 7.1 seconds as the Quattrovalvole update arrived. Quarter-mile performance across all tested cars averages 15.1 seconds at 94.1 mph.
By the end of the run, forced induction appeared in tested form and produced the quickest figures in the sample. The 1985 GTSi Quattrovalvole Twin-Turbo Targa reached 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds at 107 mph, the fastest results recorded for the model. As it stands today, the 308’s measured history is entirely gasoline-powered and contained within a single Type F106 generation.

How we verify Ferrari 308 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Ferrari 308 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
