In 1975 Ferrari had introduced a 2.0-litre version of the Dino 308GT4 - the 208GT4 - to take advantage of the Italian market's vehicle taxation system, and it did the same following the introduction of the successor 308 GTB and GTS models in 1980. The 208 GTB and GTS used the same V8 engine, with reduced bore size for a capacity of 1,991cc which was Ferrari’s solution to avoid Italy’s 38-percent VAT on cars with engines over 2.0 liters. By the time they were superseded by Turbo versions in 1982, a total of 140 GTB and 160 GTS models had been completed.
