Almost a year ago, when we introduced you to the spectacular Ferrari 308 GTB Group 4<\/a> reimagined by Maturo Competition Cars<\/a>, one detail in particular caught our attention. The Dutch workshop had promised a surprise for 2026: a Stradale version, directly inspired by its rally program but designed for the road. The time has come: Maturo has just unveiled the specifications of the very first 308 Stradale built for a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for this first model, the car will remain in the Netherlands. Ordered in Rosso Mugello, this 308 Stradale can currently only be seen in the renderings published by Maturo, but its construction is already well underway. The workshop reports that the car has received its final coat of paint and that assembly is continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 308 That's Bulked Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visually, Maturo doesn't set out to completely reinvent the Ferrari 308<\/a>. The silhouette, designed in the 1970s, remains instantly recognizable, but it has gained a significant amount of presence. The rear fenders are noticeably wider, the side air intakes are more imposing, and the rear features four round taillights and two exhaust tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up front, the design is just as muscular, with a very low bumper and a generously vented hood. The five-spoke wheels and thick-sidewall tires also contribute to this road-ready rally car look. This is obviously no coincidence: Maturo explains that he has applied everything the company learned during the development of its 308 Rally to this Stradale model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still a naturally aspirated V8, but with up to 400 HP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The good news lies mainly in the back seats. Maturo has retained the feature that accounted for much of the Ferrari 308\u2019s charm: a naturally aspirated V8. But after announcing over 300 HP for its 308 Rally, the tuner has gone much further here, as the Stradale\u2019s engine can now produce up to 400 HP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no question of giving in to paddle shifters behind the wheel, either. The V8 is paired with a five-speed manual transmission with a metal shift gate, whose shorter gear ratios are directly inspired by rally racing. Maturo adds a limited-slip disc differential as well as a Capristo exhaust system custom-built for the car. This combination should give the V8\u2019s driving experience and sound a prominent role. The chassis also benefits from this bridge between racing and the road. Notably, the 308 Stradale is equipped with electronically adjustable Tractive suspension, which modernizes its handling without turning this 1970s Ferrari into a sterile sports car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Promise of 2025 Is Becoming a Reality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Maturo announced this Stradale, the project appeared to be the high-end, road-going counterpart to its impressive 308 Rally. Initial reports at the time suggested an extremely limited production run, expected to number no more than about ten units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first customer configuration now brings that promise to life. And with its Rosso Mugello paint, naturally aspirated 400 HP V8, and manual transmission, the formula seems to stay true to the announced philosophy: to thoroughly modernize the 308 while preserving what gives it its mechanical character. We\u2019ll now have to wait for Maturo to finish assembling this Dutch-built model to see the first real-life 308 Stradale\u2014rather than just renderings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
