FERRARIDino 208 GT4 1975 - 1980

　　The second generation of Dino was introduced by Ferrari in 1973 but only with the three-liter engine, while the two-liter version appeared in 1975.

　　Ferrari still tried to make the Dino a sub-brand to compete against Porsche. The car didn't even sport a Ferrari badge on it. Unlike its top brand, Enzo Ferrari built the Dino with classic steel bodies, while its V-12 vehicles already featured light-alloy materials.

　　Marcello Ghandini drew the wedged shapes of the second Dino generation, and Enzo Ferrari himself was involved in the process. Since he was a very tall person, that led to a higher greenhouse than Ghandini thought the car would be. The sporty coupe was made as a 2+2 vehicle with a decent interior room for rear passengers, leading to a longer cabin. At the front, the second Dino generation featured pop-up dual-headlights and a very small trunk, where the carmaker installed the spare wheel and a storage space good enough for a paper and a glossy magazine.

　　Inside, Ferrari installed two bucket seats at the front and a profiled for two bench in the rear. The dashboard was centered around the driver with a curved instrument panel and seven dials and gauges. The five-speed gear-stick popped through the center console between the front seats. Despite the fact that it wasn't supposed to be an expensive vehicle, the Dino featured a leather-clad interior and carefully crafted fittings.

　　The 2.0-liter V-8 engine was placed transversely behind the rear seats and offered plenty of power for those times. The car was built to get a GT4 racing homologation and compete against the Porsche 912.
