Norev translates the result into a die-cast \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale model that foregrounds both the car's Targa architecture and an unusually refined metallic gold finish — a factory-palette option that collectors rarely encounter at this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-308-gts-road-car\"\u003eA Mid-Engine Targa from Pininfarina\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePininfarina's brief for the 308 range produced one of the most resolved mid-engine bodies of the 1970s. The GTS variant — Targa-top rather than fixed-roof GTB — debuted at the 1977 Paris Motor Show, adding open-air versatility without compromising the coupe's structural character. Beneath the rear deck sits a 2.9-litre DOHC V8 in flat-plane configuration, producing around 214 hp in carburettor form. Total production of all 308 GTS variants, from 1977 to 1985, reached approximately 3,222 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-gtsi-specification\"\u003e1982: The GTSi Generation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1980, Ferrari replaced the bank of carburettors with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection to satisfy tightening US emissions regulations, redesignating the cars 308 GTBi and 308 GTSi. The 1982 model year therefore sits squarely within the injected phase — a detail that separates it from the earlier carburettor cars and that seasoned collectors treat as a distinct specification. Output settled at around 211 hp, marginally below the carb cars but with a cleaner throttle response. The gold metallic finish represented here was among the metallic options available through Ferrari's coachbuilding arm, Carrozzeria Scaglietti, making it a legitimate factory-palette choice rather than a later modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-norev-118-model\"\u003eNorev's Die-Cast Interpretation at 1:18\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorev renders the 308 GTS in die-cast metal at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale, a format that gives the Targa body sufficient surface area for the Gold Metallic paint to read with proper depth. Die-cast construction at this scale allows the shut lines, louvred engine cover and characteristic flying-buttress C-pillars — defining elements of the 308 GTS silhouette — to be reproduced with the fidelity that distinguishes a collector piece from a toy. The Gold Metallic colourway is markedly less common in the \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e 308 GTS market than Rosso Corsa, giving this edition clear shelf differentiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet\"\u003ePlacing It in the Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 308 GTS pairs naturally with the closed GTB coupé in the same or contrasting colours, or with the Quattrovalvole introduced in 1982 — the quad-valve head being the next engineering step in the same bloodline. Collectors building a Ferrari Targa lineage will find it sits coherently alongside a 246 GTS Dino and a 328 GTS, tracing the open-top strand from the early 1970s through to 1989. The gold finish provides a visual counterpoint in a shelf otherwise dominated by red Ferrari road cars from the same era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOREV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56827024966016,"sku":"187932","price":74.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/ferrari-308-gts-1982-gold-met-road-cars-847.png?v=1793054185","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/ferrari-308-gts-1982-gold-met-187932","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
