If so how come? [/ QUOTE ] you're right, but it wasn't the only one [ QUOTE ] The Dino was a brand for mid-engined, rear-drive sports cars produced by Ferrari from 1968 to 1976. The Dino name was retired by 1976, though the cars remained in production. It was created as an attempt to produce a relatively low cost vehicle by using components from more common vehicles, in much the same way that Porsche did with the 914. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Another controversy at the time was the use of a mid-engine layout in a production car. Lamborghini's Miura created a stir with the low front bodywork that this design enabled, but Enzo Ferrari felt that a mid-engine Ferrari would be unsafe in the hands of his customers. He relented and allowed designer Sergio Pininfarina to build a mid-engined concept for the 1965 Paris Motor Show, but demanded that it wear the Dino name alone. Response to the radically-styled car was tremendous, so Ferrari allowed it to go into production, rationalizing that the low-power V6 engine would keep his customers out of trouble. Many people only think of the V6 cars when using the "Dino" name. Later V8 models, including the 308 GT4 and 308 GTB, were also sold under the Dino marque, but these are sometimes not considered to be members of the Dino family. Both V8 models were given the "Ferrari" name after a short time. [/ QUOTE ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilB Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 It was called a Dino as a way to build fast cars with common parts aka the Porsche 914. It's also a way of carrying on Enzo's late son's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSE Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hhhhmmmm. Ive seen a fair few Dinos, and none of them have had fezza badges to the body, wheels or the engine. Not sure why the Dino in the pic that Malagus posted has a horsie on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
