“Compared
to the F40LM and F50GT, the Evoluzione is much lighter,” stated Mr. Yoshikuni
Okamoto, owner of one of only six 288 GTO Evos ever produced.
One
can only imagine then, how terrifying one of these 650 hp, 2,072lb. machines is
at the limit, particularly when spooling up its twin turbochargers which are
known to provide the 2.8-liter V8 with an abrupt and strong surge of power.
Perhaps
unfairly overshadowed by its direct successor, the F40, the 288 GTO Evoluzione
is considered by some to be a better supercar. By the numbers, we would have to
agree.
