	Ferrari also built 5 288 GTO ''Evoluzione'' models with more aggressive and aerodynamic body styling and increased power. The engine in the ''Evoluzione'' originally put out as much as 650 hp; however, this was dialed down to 450 hp after Group B was banned as a whole in 1986. These cars form the clearest visual link between the 288 GTO and the F40, soon to follow.

	The '''[[Ferrari]] GTO''' (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) was an exotic [[homologation]] (thus the O) of the [[Ferrari 308 GTB]] produced in [[1984]] through [[1986]].

	The GTO was based on the [[MR layout\|mid-engined]] [[Ferrari 308 GTB\|308 GTB]]. The 288 refers to its 2.8 Liter V8 engine, though, as it used a de-bored (by 1 mm) V8 with twin [[Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries\|IHI]] [[turbocharger]]s, intercoolers, and [[Weber]]-Marelli [[fuel injection]]. The 2855cc engine capacity was dictated by the FIA's requirement for a Turbocharged engine's capacity to be mutiplied by 1.4.This gave the GTO a theoretical engine capacity of 3997cc, just under the Group B limit of 4.0 litres.

	Unlike the 308, the engine was mounted ~~[[longitudinal]]ly~~, using the 308's rear boot space. The wheelbase was 110 mm longer at 2,450 mm, and the track was widened also. With 400 hp (almost 140 hp per liter) and 366 ft·lbf of torque, the GTO was an impressive performer. 0-60 mph times were in the upper 4 second range and Ferrari claimed 0-125 mph in 15 seconds flat. Top speed was a staggering 190 mph.		Unlike the 308, the engine was mounted longitudinally, using the 308's rear boot space.
