1978 Ferrari 308 GTS - Concorso Ferrari & Friends (other Italian cars)

Ferrari Grey? :)

The Ferrari 308 GTB berlinetta and targa topped 308 GTS are V8 mid-engined, 2-seater sports cars manufactured by the Italian company Ferrari from 1975 to 1985...The 308 had a tube frame with separate body...The engine was a V8 of a 90 degree configuration, with belt-driven twin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank. It was transversely mounted in unit with the transaxle transmission assembly, which was below and to the rear of the engine's sump. All models used a fully synchromesh 5-speed manual and a clutch-type limited slip differential. Suspension was all-independent, comprising double wishbones, coaxial coil springs and hydraulic dampers, and anti-roll bars on both axles; four wheel vented disc brakes were also fitted. Steering was unassisted rack and pinion.

The Concorso has raised more than S1 million for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. There is a "Parade of Kids." The kids are picked up at the Children's Center and ride to West Hartford Center in the show cars and then return in them. They each recieve a stuffed teddy bear and become honorary Italian Citizens.
