WTF

288 GTO from the C&D test below had a max boost pressure of 0.6 bar (0.8 normal), i.e. the peak power was no higher than 350 hp.
Of course, this is a bit strange, considering the car was tested new with almost no mileage. But hey, that's an 80's Ferrari:)

Standing quartermile time: 4.6+10.1/(4.6+10.1)x12.5 = 13.20sec at 115mph.
(Note: 12.5 factor is used instead of the typical 12.0 because the car has long gearing.)
Acceleration off the line: 6.102963 m/s2 = 0.62 G = 0.30sec rollout = 12.90sec dragstrip quartermile.

Basically 1581 kg total curb weight, including downforce but without the driver. (HPWizard). Ferrari never released curb weight for 288 GTO, but as far as dry weight goes it was 60 kg heavier than F40 (which weighed in at 1235 kg curb). Basically, 1581-1295 = 286 kg downforce; at that figure, the 288 GTO generates the least downforce of any Ferrari hypercar (448 for F40, 440 for F50, 775 for Enzo, and sadly just 360 kg for LaFerrari).

For Euro-spec 288s, replace wheel static radius (0.336) with 0.331 and driveline efficiency rating (0.85) with 1.00. Final drive ratio should also be replaced (2.77) with 3.849.

how can it take less time to reach 130 in 15.7 seconds and 120 mph in 16 seconds that cant be right recheck your figures

What a pity that this beast didn’t have a chance to participate in rally racing

Sex

some of your acceleration times are fast compared to road tests for example your 0-200kph time of14.3 seconds is 2 seconds off auto and motorsports 16.2 for the same 0-200kph sprint other than that good reading your just alittle optimistic on the accelerationtimes compared to road tests

Pile of very interesting simulation data added. Feel free to hover your cursor over any of it and see where this 30 year old brute lands next to modern sportscars.

This data is NOT for period-correct tyres. This is for a GTO with modern tyres.

The last GTO was a present for the three times F1 world champion Niki Lauda (1975,1977,1984).

This is my favourite Ferrari of all time.

This was the fastest Ferrari of its day. The performance is black-out league.

Certainly, one of best cars ever made. Charming beast. The GTO. Ah, just too pity Ferrari does not make true GTOs anymore.

288 GTO (1984-1986, 272 cars built)

power, tested weight (with fuel), tested acceleration 0-100 / 100-200 km/h, tested top speed:

400 ps, 1300 kg (120 l), 4.8 s / 10.3 s, 307 km/h

Beauty and aggression.

Yes, one of most beautiful cars ever made and very rare. Only 272 cars ever made.

yeah agree the 288 gto is one of ferraris most beautifull cars
