308 GT4 "Dino"

The 308 GT4 Dino was a radical departure for Ferrari, employing the design house Bertone as opposed to Pininfarina to produce a striking modern cutting edge shape to replace the 246 Dino.

Bertone were responsible for classic designs such as the Lamborghini Miura, the Alfa Romeo GT Junior and rally legend Lancia Stratos. The car is a two plus two so it is practical if you’ve got small kids or need to take some (small) mates out for a pose. In classic red, the Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino is a real show stopper and was bought from a classic car hire company who were updating their stock.
SPECIFICATIONS

• The Dino brand of mid-engined, rear-drive sports cars was produced by Ferrari from 1968 to 1976
• The car was an attempt by Ferrari to produce a relatively low cost sports car by using components from other vehicles
• The Dino brand was reserved for cars with engines with fewer than 12 cylinders. This meant that the Ferrari name was kept for the V12 and flat 12 models
• The Dino is named in honour of Enzo Ferrari’s son, Alfredo ‘Dino’ Ferrari. He and engineer Vittorio Jano influenced his father’s decision to produce a line of V6 and V8-engined racing cars in the 1950s. Dino died of muscular dystrophy on June 30, 1956 at the age of only 24
• Initially branded as a ‘Dino’ model, the 308 GT4 was produced from 1973 to April 1980. It was Ferrari's first V8 production automobile
• The 308 GT4 featured the Dino badge until May 1976. At that point, it began to display the Ferrari ‘Prancing Horse’ badge on the steering wheel, bonnet and wheels
• The 308 has a wedge shaped, angular design, which makes it look very different from the 206/246 (from which it was derived). It was styled by Italian automobile company Bertone
• The 308 GT4 V8 has a 90 degree, dual overhead camshaft, a 2927cc motor with four Weber carburetors, V-8 block and heads made of aluminum alloy, and weighs in at 2535 pounds

Ferrari introduced the 275 GTB, its first car with independent rear suspension. But however significant the 275 GTB was, most spectators were drawn to the dramatic Dino 206S Speciale show car, a mid-engined concept featuring a mock 2-liter V6 engine. The show car was created as a tribute to the late Alfredino "Dino" Ferrari, and as such had no Ferrari emblems on it whatsoever.

The Turin Auto show of 1966 featured a working prototype of the Dino called the Dino Berlinetta GT. Powered by a transversely mounted V6, the 206 Dino GT was not only Ferrari's first mid-engined production car, but was also a new Ferrari-based Dino brand. The 180-hp, 1,986-cc engine powering the Dino was largely built by Fiat. Even with Dino badges and a Fiat-built engine, the 206 GT's lineage was clearly Ferrari, thanks to the Pininfarina bodywork and the performance.

In 1969, the V6 was enlarged to 2,418-cc, the output increased to 195 horsepower, and the car was renamed the 246 GT. While Ferraris have always been about free revving high performance engines, the Dino 246 GTs have quick, responsive handling that immediately separates them from earlier front-engined Ferraris, and marks the shift that led directly to the present generation of Ferrari road cars. Historically significant, the Dino was the only production car that featured the dynamic advantages of a mid-mounted engine without the angular wedge shape designs that would characterize Ferraris from the mid-'70s well into the '90s.

The 1972 Ferrari 246 Dino GT presented here is a superb, highly original example finished in Fly Yellow with a black leather interior. Very well preserved and cared for by its previous owners, this Dino has documentation of ownership dating back to the mid-1970s, showing it as a Southern California car, and having last been offered publicly for sale at a Ferrari dealership in 1985.

F430 Scuderia gets a specially developed power kit, which can be heared and felt. It is consist of new Wimmer engine control software and sport valve exhaust system with remote control. Fitted with the new power pack, the Wimmer Scuderia’s 4.3L V8 petrol engine boosts 38 hp more than the stock output of 483 hp, which corresponds for a top speed increase to 321 km/h. With this performance data, the F430 Scuderia accelerates form zero to 100 km/h in just 3.84 seconds, to 200 km/h in 11.03 seconds and hits the 300 km/h in 34.9 seconds. The refined Ferrari is also fitted with a KW HLS system (Hydraulic Lift System) that lifts up the front axle with 45 mm if needed.

Clearly seen is the elongated front body of the Ferrari prototype. This and the additional construction on the hood suggests that the next generation Ferrari 612-a new powertrain will be preserved.

The completely newly designed V12 engine will probably not grow in power, yet the 540 hp in the current model is sufficient.

Ferrari 458 Italia-Oakley Design

Oakley Design from Britain announced an upgrade package for the Ferrari 458 Italia which not only enhances the looks, it also improves the the aerodynamics, reduces the weight and increased the power. Oakley claims that with just some ECU remapping, they managed to increase the power from 570bhp to 627bhp, and the torque from 540Nm to 567Nm.

In order to reduce the weight, Oakley has come up with carbon-fibre roof panel, mirror covers and engine cover, as well as complete titanium exhaust system with triple outlet pipes and no bypass valve which alone reduces 30 kg. They also offer Oakley Design lightweight composite wheels which reduces another 8 Kg.

These wheels comes in size 9.0J x 20-inch and 11.0J x 20-inch with 245/35ZR20 and 305/35ZR20 tyres, but you may also opt for 19-inch OZ wheels.

So the car weighs nearly 65 Kg less than standard and with the extra power, it’s now capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in slightly over 3.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 330 km/h. This special Ferrari is limited to only 5 units.
