The 208 GT4 was presented at the 1975 Geneva Motor Show: a version of the GT4 with a smaller V8 for the Italian market, where cars with an engine displacement of more than two liters were subject to more than double the VAT (38 percent). De-stroked and de-bored to 1991 cm³, the engine made it the smallest production V8 in a road car; it produced 170 PS and reached 220 km/h. Externally, it was recognizable by chrome trim pieces and the absence of fog lights. In 1980, the 208 GTB replaced it, after just 840 cars built.
