A rising classic with unique heritage
The Dino 308 GT4 is enjoying a well-deserved resurgence among collectors and enthusiasts. As Ferrari’s first production car with a mid-mounted V8 engine, the 308 GT4 represented a significant shift in design and performance philosophy. Its 2.9-liter V8 engine delivers 255 hp in European specification, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox for an exhilarating driving experience.
Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the GT4's angular lines set it apart from its Pininfarina-styled siblings. Initially branded as a Dino to honor Enzo Ferrari’s late son, it was rebranded as a Ferrari in 1976—making it a unique model that straddles two iconic names.
Beyond its performance, the GT4 is practical, with a 2+2 seating configuration suited for spirited drives or everyday use. When properly maintained, its reliability further enhances its appeal as a classic you can actually enjoy.
