Restomods. We know the drill. Every shop with a welder and a dream is chasing the same five icons. Just when you think the market is tapped out, some Dutch outfit shows up with two variations of a Ferrari 308 GT4. One is for the street. The other? Built for rallying.
Maturo Competition Cars did the work. The street version is the one that catches the eye. It starts as an original 308—any year from 1975 to 1985—and gets stripped to bare metal. They weld in a cage. They add over 150 structural spots to stiffen the unibody. That’s just prep work.
“Maturo has avoided the trap…”
Actually. Look at the fenders. Handcrafted flares. They’re huge, inspired by the original Group 4 rally beast. They fit. They look ridiculous, but in the right way. It still has that sleek wedge shape people love. They slapped on 15-inch wheels and modern LEDs. It’s classic lines with sharp new eyes.
Under the hood? Big change. The original 3.0 liter V8 made a modest 255 horsepower in Europe. Maturo added new cams. Better ignition. A custom intake. Capristo exhaust. It now makes 400 horsepower.
That’s a jump. They reinforced the five-speed manual. It still sends power to the rear. There’s a limited-slip differential now. The suspension is adjustable, from TracTive. Brakes are new too.
The interior photos haven’t dropped. We don’t know if they kept the vinyl. It probably matters.
Prices start at €425,00. That’s nearly half a million dollars. This doesn’t include the donor car you have to find and ship to them. Is that worth it? You decide.
There is another option if you actually want to crash it on dirt. The 308 Rally. Same chassis stiffening. Engine pushes over 300 horsepower. Reinforced gearbox. New suspension and brakes for the abuse.
Two ways to fix the flaws. The price stays broken.
Maybe that’s the point. You don’t buy this car for the math. You buy it because you can have a 308 that drives like 2024.
The rest? Silence from the cabin department.
