The Ferrari Dino 308 GT4, produced from 1973 to 1980, represents a unique chapter in the Italian marque's history. It marked a departure from Ferrari's traditional front-engine, V12 sports car formula, embracing a mid-engine layout with a smaller V8 engine. This decision was driven by the desire to create a more accessible and affordable Ferrari for a wider audience, although it still remained a luxury sports car. Designed by Pininfarina, the 308 GT4 features a distinctive wedge-shaped body with a low-slung profile and a prominent rear spoiler, epitomizing the sleek, futuristic design trends of the era. Its innovative mid-engine configuration offered exceptional handling and responsiveness, making it a true driver's car on both the road and the racetrack.
Under the hood, the 308 GT4 is powered by a 2.9-liter, 90-degree V8 engine, initially producing 255 horsepower. This engine, a testament to Ferrari's engineering prowess, delivered impressive performance and a characteristic throaty exhaust note. Coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission, the 308 GT4 could sprint from 0-60 mph in under 7 seconds, reaching a top speed exceeding 140 mph. Beyond its performance credentials, the 308 GT4 offered a luxurious and well-appointed interior, featuring plush leather upholstery, a sporty dashboard, and a comfortable driving position. Although not as spacious as contemporary grand tourers, the 308 GT4 provided enough room for two occupants and luggage, making it suitable for both everyday driving and long-distance journeys.
