The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 through 1987, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologato (homologated in Italian).

Description[]

The Ferrari GTO was built to compete in the new Group B Race series and a minimum of 200 cars were required for homologation. However, after the death of Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto in the 1986 Tour de Corse, the FIA disestablished the class, leaving just the Group A Rally championship. As a result, the 288 GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained purely road cars.

Some of the 288 GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Salon. This included the deep front spoiler, fender flares, rear lip spoiler, front lid radiator cooling louvers and quadruple driving lights.

The Ferrari 288 GTO appears as a Tier 7 car.

The 288 GTO has one clear strength over its competition, the Ruf RT 12 S and the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, or any other Tier 7 car in the game; it has the strongest launch and nitro acceleration in its tier, and any other car in general. With such powerful launch and acceleration, it is capable of effortlessly pulling away from even the fastest cars in its own tier, all of which are capable of much higher total speeds, at a start of a race. The 288 GTO otherwise has mediocre overall stats, with an average nitro efficiency, handling and drifting radius. However, its drifting capabilities, while good, is severely handicapped by its low top speed, the second lowest in the tier; only the Aventador is slower. The 288 GTO could be considered the culmination of acceleration-focused cars like the BMW M3 GT2; while it accelerates extremely quickly, and can restore lost speed almost instantaneously, its extreme focus in acceleration at the detriment of everything else gives the 288 GTO with very poor top speed and total speed tiers, making it an easy prey to faster cars in its tier; it is noteworthy that the 288 GTO has the lowest armor stat out of any car in the game, making it very prone to knockdowns if faster cars decide to target it.

The Ferrari 288 GTO competes as a starter's car for Tier 7; if upgraded, the 288 GTO can be suitable in Career Mode thanks to its strong acceleration. The 288 GTO sees little use outside of Career Mode or in select Asphalt Academy missions that requires its use; the 288 GTO has no place in Multiplayer, as it will be matched up with the McLaren F1, Koenigsegg Agera R, SSC Tuatara, Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, and Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, none of which it can compete against. While the 288 GTO can try to pull away from all of them at the start of a race, its low top speed means that faster cars will eventually catch up with it, and its nonexistent armor means that once they catch up to the 288 GTO and decides to target it, the 288 GTO will easily get knocked down, and is doomed to remain in the back throughout the remainder of the race.
