1980 Ferrari 308 GT4: Bertone Designed
Philippe was my first boss, I’ve learned everything from him during my apprenticeship. The Ferrari cars knowledge of this focussed and experienced man is unequalled. I visit him every time I come home to Clermont and still remember these 288 and 250 GTO on which we worked together on weekends… Thank you Petrolicious for sharing this. Let’s hope new generations will follow…
Really great Story and really good points made by Philippe in this video . Let’s not forget what brands like Ferrari , Porsche , Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and others went through with all the hard work of the technicians , mechanichs , designers and engineers since the begining to be what they are now. All of this did not came in a snap of a fingers. people should pay respect to the brands and to the values of the brands.
A wonderful piece. And as suggested, timely. I own a GT4 and love it. Yes, the design is different compared to a 308 GTB or GTS. But as Philippe Gardette explained, the Ferrari brand is artisanal in nature, which is on full display with the GT4. I am very happy to own the only Ferrari ever designed by Marcello Gandini.
