TV Series 1982 Green Metallic KK Scale 1:12","description":"\u003cblockquote class=\"vr-tldr\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eKK Scale reproduces the Ferrari 308 GTS QV in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e scale die-cast, Green Metallic, tied to the iconic CBS series Magnum P.I. and the Quattrovalvole generation introduced in 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Ferrari unveiled the 308 GTS Quattrovalvole at the 1982 Paris Motor Show, the four-valve-per-cylinder upgrade did more than lift output — it arrived on television screens almost simultaneously. CBS's Magnum P.I., already running since December 1980, switched to the QV variant from its third series onward, cementing the car's place in popular culture well beyond any motor-show headline. KK Scale's \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e 1:12 scale model car captures this specific, correctly specified generation in die-cast metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"real-car\"\u003eThe Ferrari 308 GTS QV: Four Valves, American Rules\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 308 GTS QV (Tipo F106 AB) is powered by a 3.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, upgraded from two to four valves per cylinder for the 1982 model year. USA-specification cars ran Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and catalytic converters to meet federal emissions standards — a distinct engineering configuration from the European-market tune. The wheelbase measures 2340 mm. It was a technically coherent, if emissions-constrained, version of one of Maranello's most balanced mid-engined road cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"magnum-story\"\u003eMagnum P.I. and the Quattrovalvole Switchover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnum P.I. aired on CBS from 11 December 1980 to 1 May 1988. Private investigator Thomas Magnum, played by Tom Selleck, drove a Ferrari 308 GTS belonging to the fictional author Robin Masters — and multiple real cars served as set vehicles across the production run. The shift to the Quattrovalvole from series 3 (1982–83) onward precisely mirrored the real-world model-year change, meaning the QV-specific body and mechanical specification are the accurate reference for any Magnum P.I. model representing 1982 or later episodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"scale-model\"\u003eKK Scale's 1:12 Die-Cast: Material and Format\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKK Scale is a specialist brand working primarily in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e die-cast road-car replicas. This release of the Ferrari 308 GTS QV USA Version is rendered in die-cast metal at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e scale, finished in Green Metallic, and carries the Magnum P.I. TV Series association for the 1982 production year. The \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e format sits in a clearly defined niche: notably larger than the common \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e segment, yet considerably more accessible than full \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:8\u003c\/span\u003e commissions in both cost and cabinet footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet\"\u003eIn the Display Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 308 GTS QV at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e makes a strong centrepiece alongside other Pininfarina-designed Ferrari road cars of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its television provenance gives it crossover appeal that draws both Ferrari collectors and enthusiasts of classic American drama. Natural companions include the two-valve 308 GTS representing early Magnum P.I. episodes, the 308 GTB QV as the closed-roof sibling, and the 328 GTS (1985–1989) as the direct successor — building a coherent mid-engined V8 Ferrari lineage across a single shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KK SCALE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57370038174080,"sku":"KKDC120274","price":187.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-ferrari-308-gts-quattrovalvole-usa-version-1982-green-met-front34.jpg?v=1792767779","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/ferrari-308-gts-quattrovalvole-usa-vers-kkdc120274","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
