328 (1985 to 1989)

The Ferrari 328 was produced from 1985 to 1989 and is widely regarded as one of the most usable and dependable classic Ferraris, sitting at the sweet spot between vintage charm and modern drivability. Powered by a 3.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 producing 270 hp, the 328 refined the formula established by the 308 with improved reliability, stronger performance, and cleaner styling by Pininfarina. It was offered in GTB (coupe) and GTS (targa) body styles, both paired exclusively with a 5-speed gated manual transmission, reinforcing its analogue appeal. Ferrari built approximately 7,412 examples in total (around 6,068 GTS and 1,344 GTB). In the Australian market, the 328 is highly respected as an entry point into classic Ferrari ownership, prized for its mechanical simplicity, usability, and timeless design, with original right-hand-drive cars and well-maintained examples commanding strong, steady demand.
