In 1980 Ferrari introduced a two-litre version of the 308, 208 GTB and 208 GTS. Though mainly for the domestic Italian market, where new cars with engines above 2-litres were subjected to a much higher value added tax, they were also listed in New Zealand. The 208 GTB/GTS replaced the 208 GT4 2+2. The engine was de-bored to 68.8 mm (giving it an undesquare design) for a total displacement of 1,991 cc (121 cu in), resulting in one of the smallest V8 ever produced. 160 208 GTS and 140 208 GTB cars were produced in 1980 and 1981.
