1979 Ferrari 308 GT4 / A DESIGN DEPARTURE

The history behind the bold design of the Ferrari 308GT4.

The first real departure from the curvy lines of Ferrari. This car was a bold attempt that paid off. When Ferrari decided to partner with Bertone carrozzeria to design the 308GT4 it caused quite a stir. For many years Ferrari had solely used Pininfarina as their coachbuilder. By making the switch to Bertone, it created quite a rift between the two companies Ferrari and Pininfarina.

The 308GT4 also garnered a great deal of criticism because of its similar appearance in lines to the Lancia-Stratos. A car that was also designed by Bertone. There is no question that the 308GT4 design was a departure from its Ferrari predecessor the curvaceous 246GT.
