But it was different, in three distinct ways. It wasn’t Ferrari’s first mid-engined road car, because the Boxer was already in production by then, but it was absolutely the first to try to package two additional seats between the engine and cockpit. There wasn’t much space back there, but if you were a small boy faced with the choice of being doubled up in the back of a 308 or lolling about in comparative luxury in just about anything else, you’d take the one from Maranello every single time.
