While Ferrari has entered a new era with the launch of its first electric car, others are looking in the rear-view mirror. In the Netherlands, Maturo Competition Cars has just opened orders for the 308 Stradale, a spectacular restomod based on the mythical Ferrari 308 GTB. A car we already mentioned last year, when the tuner unveiled its radical Gr4 version and announced the arrival of a road version in 2026. And here we are!
From rally stage to road
Maturo is no stranger to the world of restomods. After attracting attention with its reinterpretations of the Lancia Delta Integrale, the Dutch company has now tackled a Maranello monument: the Ferrari 308 GTB.
The project is inspired by a little-known page in Ferrari's history. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Italian tuner Michelotto transformed some 308 GTBs into Group 4 rally cars. These models enjoyed some notable successes, notably with Jean-Claude Andruet in the 1981 Tour de France Automobile, even going so far as to offer Ferrari its only World Rally Championship podium thanks to a second-place finish in the 1982 Tour de Corse. The Maturo 308 Stradale takes up this heritage, but in a modern interpretation designed for the road.
Over 400 hp for a Ferrari 308
Beneath its bodywork, the 308 Stradale hides an in-depth transformation. Each model begins its second life as a Ferrari 308 GTB Quattrovalvole. The chassis is completely disassembled, then reinforced with over 150 additional welds and a roll bar integrated into the structure.
The naturally-aspirated 3.0-liter V8 also receives a complete overhaul. New camshafts, modernized electronics, reinforced internal components and a special exhaust system boost power to over 400 hp, compared with around 260 hp on the original model. An impressive improvement that brings the 308 closer to the performance of a contemporary sports car.
However, Maturo insists it wanted to preserve the car's analog DNA. The five-speed manual gearbox with its famous exposed metal grille has been retained. The transmission, however, has been strengthened with shorter ratios and a self-locking differential.
More aggressive silhouette without betraying the original
The bodywork is undoubtedly one of the most successful aspects of the project. The widened, hand-crafted rear wings give the 308 a much more muscular presence. The front fascia has also been redesigned, while the overall proportions remain faithful to the original design.
The 15-inch wheels combined with historic Pirelli P7 Corsa tires also help preserve the charm of the era. Maturo has deliberately avoided the trend for large modern wheels in order to preserve the aesthetic balance of the Ferrari of the 1970s. Evolutions continue under the bodywork with pilot-controlled suspensions developed in collaboration with TracTive Suspension. The driver can modify the damping settings to move from a comfortable configuration to a much sportier ride.
On board, the ambience blends tradition and modernity. Carbon, aluminum, leather and Alcantara replace some of the original plastics, while the instrumentation has been redesigned in a style faithful to the Ferrari spirit.
Nearly half a million euros
Maturo has no plans to turn this 308 Stradale into a mass-market product. Production will be limited to just 30 examples, each hand-assembled in the company's workshops in the Netherlands. Orders are now open, with a starting price set at 425,000 euros, excluding taxes and excluding the donor car required for the transformation.
