Between 1974 and 1980, Ferrari built the Dino 308 GT4, a mid-engined sports car with four seats. Unusually, Bertone was commissioned to design the bodywork. The built-in V8 engine was a new development. The car presented in 1973 was coherent and yet stood in the shadow of the Pininfarina-designed 308 GTB/GTS models for almost its entire construction period. In this driving report, a Dino 308 GT4 from 1974 is presented in detail, the development history is recorded and driving experiences from the past and present are compared. The documentation is completed with many historical illustrations and the sales brochure from 1974.
