@@thisnthat4318 Thank you for your comment. No two cars that we restomod are the same. Each one is tailored to the customers personal requirement. Every aspect of the car can be addressed, but depending on the final spec, the finished product can be considerably less than a new showroom Ferrari, but also considerably more. Please feel free to visit our website for more details. www.mototechnique.com
The 308 first captured my attention when I was a child and came across one parked in a driveway. I sat on my bicycle and stared at it for hours. For me, it’s THE car. I’m so glad that there are artists and individuals that are giving them the attention I’ve always felt they deserved. Absolutely stunning work. Bravo!
I was sold on the way he spoke let alone what he was talking about. He knows what hes talking about and the cars clearly speak for themselves. Almost no words to say. This company is already legendary!speechless
do you do any coach building by chance?. ive always wanted to redo a ferrari ff or a 599 to sasha selipanovs 612 gto concept and mate it with a vf engineering bolt on supercharger . my preference is the ff but the chassis is too long.

We currently have several Ferrari V8 retomods going through our workshop and being a bespoke service each one is different depending on our clients preferred specification. Wheel size is a personal preference. The other cars in our workshop have wheels ranging from 15 - 17 inches.
I completely agree. If you want those massive 360 brakes, you need wheels big enough to go over them. Personally I’d sacrifice on the brakes to retain a more balanced, period look. These look like Image Split Rims F40 3-piece replica wheels. I saw they had a Stratos Group 4 wheel on another car. So many choices!
@@matthewchandler2647 Thank you for your comments Matthew and well spotted on the Stratos Group 4 "Coffin Wheels". As on the Black David Lee Dino V8, we can take any period wheel that in period may only have been produced in 14 or 15 inch versions, 3D Scan it and then by using the latest computer technology re-size them and recast them, for example, to 17 inches. Being a bespoke service it is always the clients final choice as to what they want to do. Some of our restomods when viewed from a distance are virtually indistinguishable from the factory originals, including wheel and tyre choice.
That is an absolutely stunning green. I built a 1/24 scale 328 GTS in a similar color (Verde Zeltweg). What color is this beauty? Is it original or a respray?
Thank you for your comment. As part of the Restomod this car received a respray. The colour is a slightly modified version of a Jaguar Metallic Green which was done at the customers request. We think it looks great.
This work is absolutely legendary. Thank you for reinvigorating my dream cars so I make them a reality sooner than later! I cannot wait to get mine, friends. Looking forward to working with such a prestigious shop. Thank you for sharing this.
When I see workmanship like this, I wish I had the money to throw at companies, I don't know why but I've always had this little dream in the back of my head to have a modernized Ferrari Mondial, something with more modern performance and handling in a Mondial package, a Ferrari most won't even look a second time at as it's probably one of the less popular models they got, probably why I just really like it.
@@admiralackbar4652 I honestly don't know, I've always loved strange cars, so I'm the sort that like the Fiat Multipla, or the Pontiac Aztec. But for the Mondial I think it's more that it's an underestimated Ferrari, no one seems to even think about it, and when they do it's because it's "bad." Sure, it's not a Testarossa or a F40 in it hanging on bedroom walls, but I just kinda find it charming in a way, so if I could get a Mondial that has been modernized, to have more modern comfort, electronics, suspension, drivetrain, etc. That would have been the Ferrari most tempting to me, alongside a 400i which is also one you don't hear that much about, but looks really cool.
It's great that your company does such work to the ferraris. To date I think the David Lee Dino evo is sublime 🤗🥰 From a selfish angle, I hope in the future your have the opportunity to breathe your magic over an f355 .....or 348 even. Love your work guys🤗
Thank you. Restomoding Dinos, 308's and other cars from that era is almost a natural evolution and no brainer, where big improvements are achieved in power, handling and drivability. The F355 is a great car dynamically to start with (Even if it is today a 26 year old design) and was under Luca Di Montezemolo leadership, Ferrari's first modern built car that started a new era in the way they built sports cars, which has continued to evolve right up to today. So with a F355 it will be a matter of refining what is already there. the performance jump would not be as great, (A 355 engine in standard spec already produces 111BHP per litre Naturally aspirated) but improvements can always be made in all areas. Remember this service is bespoke to your requirements and it is our job to fulfil them.
Thank you so much. Please feel free to visit our website www.mototechnique.com for more information on our latest Dino and 308 Restomods, plus a look back out our 40 year back catalogue of Classic and Sports Car Restorations and Engineering Excellence.
Wow, absolutely stunning. Realise this is customer choice but yes, would step down one inch on the wheel diameter. Beautiful wheels, just slightly too big. Plus the rear wheel arch gap seems to catch my eye. Maybe the suspension would settle over time. Other than that this is an amazing job, the quality on offer here looks second to none 👍🏻👌🏻
Perfect colour combination for a much improved piece of art! I love companies which just make good products even better - and these cars are made to be driven. Would love to see a collaboration with Number27, JayEmm or SeenThroughGlass on these cars!
Thank you, it seems this colour is very popular with a lot of people. Check out the October 2020 article on this car in EVO magazine, all the shots were taken in the rain!! and the car behaved impeccably, just as we expected and knew it would. 🤓👍🏼
@@mototechnique1282 No doubt about the performance! I was worried about getting those sparkling undercarriage parts dirty! Love the fender flares, too.
Thank GOD there are people like this in the world....Folks that make good things exceptional....Id love them to get their hands on my Tr-250 CLASS DISMISSED
Yes, you are correct. On the original car with regular tyres is was not necessary, but with the wider more modern sticky tyres it's a must. The Power steering is beautifully weighted and is speed sensitive, so you don't really know it's there.
Driver aids, by modern definition, provide a measure of control over the vehicle that the driver would otherwise not have access to. ABS, Torque-vectoring, yaw-control, and traction control come to mind. At minimum, the driver would need four brake pedals and a lever to control the differential to even have access to these types of vehicle controls. Driver aids add new types of input to the car that previously did not exist. The steering wheel is a control the driver already has. Powering it does not change the input or the output that the car receives, it simply lessens the effort on the driver’s arms.
That looks amazing. Beautifully executed. Well done 👍👏. If I had the money I would order one. However, I would "spec" my one with a less radical wheel/tyre combo, too modern. Just have to wait for the lottery win now😩. Keep up the good work👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏
Thank you for your comments. This is a bespoke service and you can have whatever you want. We will keep our fingers crossed for you too. Hopefully we will be seeing you in the future 🤞🏼😉
Fantastic job 👍🏻...I thought that was Bruce Willis ,in the opening shot 😎.....Car wheels look great - they say, "I'm young and I love to have fun".... Stonkingly good colour and restoration 👍🏻😎...
When these cars were first launched back in the mid 70's they were state-of-the-art in terms of power and handling, and although their beautiful Italian styling is ageless and gets better with time, engine power and engine management along with handling and braking have moved on with the times. We totally agree these cars should be preserved as they were when they were new and here at Moto Technique we have most probably restored or repaired to original period correct specification more Dino 246's and Ferrari 308/328 than anybody else in the UK. You must also remember that we are a customer driven business and what we have found is that are customer are demanding classic sports cars, but with modern standards of power, handling, braking and reliability. Its a testament to Ferrari and their brilliant engineering that they produced these wonderful V8 gems of an engine along with the transmission that lend themselves so well to being upgraded with 21st Century standards which make them virtually bulletproof nearly 50 years after they were first produced. It is a pleasure to work on them.
Hi Nathan , Nothing would give us greater pleasure. If you have a serious enquiry, please feel free to contact us through our website: www.mototechnique.com
Classic input 💕 Classic Souls 💕 Class in every detail! 💖 Quand'è bella questa Principessa ✨ Thank you "Moto Technique", for showing one of the most beautiful experiences on Earth : Driving such lovely machines! 🌠 Keep up the perfect work! 💫
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. These 308 totally needs an update like this because the originals were garbage. The Pinniferina design is timeless and sexy as hell.
We work on all cars from all manufactures. Please check out our website: www.mototechnique.com. The E55 is already quite capable a car, but if you can specify what you would like, we can make it.
Wish the show grand tour would do a track test comparison between the singer Porsche 911 and this evo 308. I'm interested in seeing how they fare against each other. Well, any auto channel really on youtube would be great for their views too.
I'll say that the larger wheels and low profile tyres aren't my taste on classic cars - personally I think it spoils the look. But I understand this done to customer request, and I'm guessing the wheels had to be larger to house the F360 brakes. Otherwise, a stunning looking thing - beautiful paint work and a gorgeous interior. Well done! You have another subscriber!
Hi Michael. Thank you for your kind words. You are correct in that the larger wheels are there to accommodate the larger brake disc and callipers. Our bespoke service offers a range a wheels that can be adapted to the larger brakes and callipers, including the 3D scanning of period correct wheels and recasting them to the larger size. The final choice is always the prerogative of the client. Everything is possible and limited only by your imagination. 😉👍🏼
Thank you for your question. Each and every restomod that we produce is different and completed to the individual specification of our clients. Every single aspect of the car can be addressed: Engine, Transmission, Handling, Interior Trim, Paintwork etc. Depending on the condition of the donor car and specification requested, the answer is both yes and no. It can be considerably less and considerably more depending on your requirements. If you have a serious enquiry, please feel free to contact us via our website: www.mototechnique.com
"Today's cars are so sterile". It's only gonna get worse from here. I'd say it's only a matter of time until cars you can pilot yourself are made illegal. Politicians will quote traffic fatalities and fuel consumption numbers in order to get it pushed through, but as soon as the self driving car is perfected, which isn't too far off, the ability to steer our cars ourselves will be on a time limit. It will make the roads much safer, it will help with traffic (quite a bit actually) and it will result in cars using less energy to drive, but my God what a sad day that will be.
People who rode horses thought the same thing about our era. But they never imagined a Ferrari 308. Before you spend too much emotional equity lamenting a bleak future, consider that you haven’t considered everything, and that humans will still design their world to satisfy their senses- as we always have.
Good to see one doesn't need to ship the car off to the US to get it properly restomodded. Interesting colour choice on this one. I would have gone for a lighter shade, like viper green, or blu chiaro turquoise. Nah, who am I kidding, I'd have chosen red. And either 16" QV wheels or those lovely gold Michelotto-spec wheels briefly seen in the video (with more of a taper to the extended wheelarches, rather than the rally-car cylindrical shape). Has the car been lowered to improve the CoG? Does the EPAS provide the same level of feedback as a good hydraulic power steering system and does it deactivate at speed?
Ring .......ring ......ring hello Ferrari please remake / Restyled 355 for 2021 I remember riding in with my dads Ferrari 308 GTB was silver but this green shade is sexy
Sure, but absolutely no Ferraris should be green. Green is totally out of place on Ferraris. This green w/bronze wheels is a 911 spec. Someone should have told him. What a travesty.
Thank you for your observation. This is a bespoke upgrade service and we always cater to out clients wishes. As you can imaging there is some slight tweaking to the suspension depending on the size of wheels chosen, so as to always deliver the optimum ride and handling set up. We would be more than happy to upgrade a car for you with your chosen wheel size. 😉
@@mototechnique1282 totally respect that. Everyone has their own taste. I’m so glad that you are modifying these cars which many won’t touch. Great work
Our upgraded engines (3.6 Litre Stage one and 3.8 Litre Stage two) have been totally developed in house are totally reliable and have a proven record of being bullet proof. More power, More Drivability and Totally Reliable.
Congratulations! I suppose these changes are also applicable on the 328? Can the transmission handle that much power? I apologize if I sound rude, but English is not my first language.
Thank you for your question. Your English is excellent, so there is no need to apologise. Yes, a 328 can be restmoded in exactly the same way. The Ferrari gearbox is a fantastic transmission and can easily cope with the extra power.
Hi Ross and thank you for your question. Firstly, there is no "Standard" package as each car is unique and custom made to the owners specification. The body modifications to this particular car included Group 4 rear wheel arches to accommodate the wider wheel (This was carried out in mild steel in our bodyshop using traditional panel beating skills) and it has a carbon fibre engine cover and front boot lid for rigidity and weight saving. If a GTO style bodywork was requested this could be accommodated in either Kevlar or Carbon Fibre.
Thank you for you comment 😂 Well, £10 (Ten English pounds) will buy you five £2 tickets in the UK for the normal "Lotto" lottery. The chances of winning the "Lotto" are approx. 45 million to 1 which are very good odds compared to the chances of us giving anyone credit. We will keep our fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼
Thank you for your observations. Our restomod business is a bespoke service, where we deliver our customer desired specification. All the cars currently going through our workshop are individual and each one is different from the next. Wheel sizes vary from the original 15 inches right up to the 18 inches on this particular car. The car today sits lower, as due to time restrains we shot the film you see here on RU-vid whilst setting up and tuning the engine and suspension for road use. As part of this custom service we are also able to scan original period alloys in 3D that were maybe only available in say 15 inches or 16 inches back in the day and we can recast them using traditional manufacturing methods so that they look absolutely period correct, but they can accommodate larger modern brakes and callipers and wider rubber tyres.
The length of one of our restomod from start to finish will depend on the specification requested, but will typically it takes between 6 and 10 months. Thank you for your question.
@@hildand.arifwirayudha Thank you once agin. Keep watching, because we are currently working on several Restomods at the moment, each one unique and different, with some big surprises to follow later in the year. For all the latest information please follow us on Instagram and visit our website: www.mototechnique.com 👍🏼
That’s is super cool, you bought my Fathers 308 GT 4 reg, 004171 years ago, would love to know what happened to it, I used to drive at 17 years old, I did see it in Octane magazine years ago?!!
@@mototechnique1282 Ph I appreciate them - don't worry - having had the foray into Ferrari and all its misgiving along with its wondrous ownership benefits as well - I sadly would only now have a modern one. I have had other classics too - but moderna is where I am at now. However; with that said I run a photography business in The Cotswolds where discerning clients private collections are brought to life in bespoke books featuring individual motor cars, and heritage motorbikes, so I still get to enjoy them without having to worry about the actual ownership. Stay safe keep motoring on.
Thank you for your question. The service schedule for our restomoded car is more or less in line with a standard 308. But, due to the greater power and torque, if you drive it to its full potential all the time, then shorter service schedules will be required, mainly oil and filter changes.
Hi Andy, Wheel size is a personal thing. With our custom upgrades you can have whatever size you prefer. The majority of our clients seem to be split between 16 & 17 inch wheels which give a more traditional look.
Thank you for your question. Each restomod is unique as it is built to the clients personal specification and the options are endless. A starting point is to already have a car or we can help you find one. Once you have the car, we will go through the options available and accommodate any special requests that you may have. No two cars are the same and can vary greatly depending on specifications and options chose.
All that creative thinking and planning to produce what we think is an amazing and respectable upgrade of one of the most iconic Ferraris of the 1970's and 80's and all you can focus on is the Fram oil filter. Just for your information, Fram oil filters were originally supplied as standard equipment on Ferrari 308's. 🤓
They've widened the wheel arch flares too it seems which makes it look awkward on those big wheels. Don't like the exhaust note either...sounds too ricer. The rest....sublime engineering and workmanship. Sure love to order a manual F355GT EVO from them.
Our restomod service is bespoke to customer requirements. If you prefer standard or different wheels, like so many of our other restomod clients have specified, then that's what you'll get. Your satisfaction is our business and our pleasure.
