The Ferrari 288 GTO had an original list price of approximately $83,400, and a typical car is worth about $4.9 million to $7.2 million in 2026, with a public auction record of $11.1 million. It is the 1984 twin-turbo homologation special that revived the GTO name for the first time since the 1960s and became the direct ancestor of the F40, with 272 built between 1984 and 1987.
The 288 GTO was conceived as a homologation special for Group B, with a twin-turbocharged V8 mounted longitudinally, and it revived the GTO name last used in the 1960s. Ferrari built 272 cars from 1984 to 1987, all left-hand drive, and the model is the car from which the F40 was developed. Its original list price was about $83,400 in 1984, though it was not officially sold in the United States, so that figure is a period reference rather than an official US MSRP.
In 2026 a typical 288 GTO is worth about $4.9 million to $7.2 million, with very nice, low-mileage cars at roughly $8.5 million to $11 million. The public auction record is about $11.1 million (€9,117,500) for a 1,500 km car at Gooding Christie's Paris in January 2026, while a representative sale was about $6.85 million (€5,855,000) for a 24,244 km first-owner car at RM Sotheby's Paris in 2026. The record is exceptional and does not lift the typical range.
