What is the Ferrari 328?

The Ferrari 328 is a two-seat sports car offered as a fixed-roof GTB coupé or a GTS with a removable roof panel. Its mid-mounted V8 gives the cabin a compact, focused feel. The GTB keeps things enclosed; the GTS lets the driver enjoy open-air motoring with the roof panel removed.

Introduced as the next development of the 308, the 328 softened its predecessor’s wedge-shaped styling and revised the nose and tail. Shared details with other eight-cylinder Ferraris gave the range a more unified look.

Generations, engines and power

The 328 was the final development of Ferrari’s two-seat series with a naturally aspirated transverse V8, a line that began with the 308. Its name refers to the engine’s 3.2-litre displacement and eight cylinders.

The 3.2-litre petrol V8 has four valves per cylinder. The US EPA listing covers two versions.

How economical is the Ferrari 328?

US EPA figures cover the 328 from 1986 to 1989. Its combined rating is 14 MPG, or 16.8 L/100 km. EPA results use a different test procedure from European WLTP or NEDC ratings and Canada’s 5-cycle test, so figures from different markets are not directly comparable.

Where was the Ferrari 328 sold?

The EPA figures are for the United States. The GTB and GTS offered two ways to enjoy the same two-seat V8 sports-car layout: a fixed roof or a removable panel.
