The 328 was the successor to the 308 GTB/GTS and remained closely related to it mechanically. The main innovation was the V8 enlarged to 3.2 liters and 3185 cm³, which produced 270 PS and propelled the car to around 263 km/h. Externally, the body-colored bumpers were distinctive. Some enthusiasts consider it one of the most reliable Ferraris because many service items can be handled without engine removal. 1344 GTBs and 6068 GTSs were built; the 348 followed in 1989.

More displacement, otherwise nearly identical
Displacement grew to 3185 cm³ and 270 PS via a 2 mm larger bore and a 2.6 mm longer stroke. This enlargement alone accounted for the power increase; the mechanical layout mirrored the 308 QV, and the gear ratios also remained unchanged, giving the car a top speed of roughly 263 km/h. Minor revisions were also made to the dashboard, trim strips, and interior appointments.
The final model year
The final production year ran from September 1988 to September or October 1989, during which 1338 cars were built. Because Enzo Ferrari had died in August 1988, many of these cars were purchased as tributes or for speculation. In total, 1344 GTBs and 6068 GTSs were produced.
Market
At a production rate of 2500 units per year, the 328 GTB and GTS were not inexpensive, but they were popular. The list price of the GTB in 1985 was 112,000 DM. The bulk of orders went to the open-top GTS version. Starting in 1989, the 348 tb followed, featuring a longitudinally mounted eight-cylinder engine.
