GT4 and 208 GT4) were mid-engine V8 2+2 cars built by Ferrari. Dino
308 GT4 was introduced in 1973 and supplemented by the 208 GT4 in
1975. The cars were sold with Dino badging (continuing the Dino
brand to differentiate non-V12 Ferrari) until May 1976, when they
received Ferrari badging. The GT4 has a production run of 840.The
GT4 was a groundbreaking model for Ferrari in several ways. It was
the first production Ferrari to feature the mid-engined V8 layout
that would become the bulk of the company's business in the
succeeding decades and was the first production Ferrari with
Bertone (rather than Pininfarina) designed bodywork. Pininfarina
was upset by the decision to give cross-town rival Bertone design,
considering all they had done for Ferrari. The styling featured
angular lines entirely different from its curvaceous 2-seater
brother, Dino 246, and was controversial at the time. Some
journalists compared it to the Bertone-designed Lancia Stratos and
Lamborghini Urraco, also penned by Marcello Gandini. From the
cockpit the driver sees only the road. Enzo Ferrari himself took a
major role in its design, even having a mock-up made where he could
sit in the car to test different steering, pedals and cockpit
seating positioning.The chassis was a tubular space frame based on
the Dino 246, but was stretched for a 2,550 mm wheelbase to make
room for the second row of seats. The suspension was fully
independent, with double wishbones, anti-roll bars, coaxial
telescopic shock absorbers and coil springs on both axles. Niki
Lauda helped set up the chassis.Our Dino was delivered new in Italy
in 1975 (1 st series) with number plate ROMAT91815. She had 3
owners in Italy before moving to Belgium in 2015.Our Belgian owner
