The 2008 Rally Argentina, officially 28º Rally Argentina, is the fourth round of 2008 World Rally Championship season; it is a second gravel round of the championship and also the second round of the Production World Rally Championship. The event began with a ceremonial start on Thursday, March 27 in Córdoba[2] and ended after a Super Special Stage and ten minutes service "E" in Villa Carlos Paz.[3]

Some stages of the rally, especially the ones from final day, similarly to those seen on the Mexican event, are held in the mountainous area of the country, thus drivers climb up to 2100 meters above sea levels.[1] The event, however, is more varied and some competitive kilometers lead through vast Argentinian plains.[4]
