Were the 308 gtb or gts refered to with any names, like spyder, roadster, etc?

As far as I know the 308 was just called gtb for berlinetta or gts for spyder.

3.0 liter displacement 8 cylinder engine Grand Touring Berlinetta (or Spider)

And it is "spider" not "spyder".

And they are not generally referred to as berlinetta or spider. They are refered to as GTB or GTS.
