A company called Casil Motors is taking after the
success of Singer Vehicle Design and is looking to establish itself through a
customization and restoration service for the Ferrari 328 GTB and 328 GTS.
Casil Motors offered the world a glimpse of its
first product, the BB3X8 FDP, at last year’s SEMA Show, and now additional
images and details of this vehicle have been announced. Production will be
capped to just 30 units worldwide, with Casil leaving no stone unturned when
transforming a 328 into the BB3X8 FDP.
In creating the first BB3X8 FDP, Casil Motors fitted
the Italian sports car with a bespoke wide bodykit made from a combination of
kevlar and carbon fiber. In addition, the car is outfitted with air suspension
and incorporates a special grey paint scheme alongside aftermarket wheels. Like
the restored and customized Porsche 911s sold by Singer, Casil Motors will
allow its customers to spec their vehicles to their individual taste.
Much of Casil’s work is focused on the 3.2-liter
naturally aspirated V8 powering the 328. The company has designed a set of
independent throttle bodies for the V8, giving it character and performance
unlike any standard 328. Casil says the implementation of independent throttle
bodies and a number of other modifications will allow the V8 to produce 400 hp,
the same as the iconic Ferrari 288 GTO.
Casil can also modify the sports car’s interior with
leather and other materials that tickle the owner’s fancy. However, it has yet
to announce how much one of its upgraded 328s will cost.
