About the Ferrari 308 GT4
The 308 GT4 was a landmark for Maranello, introducing the mid-mounted V8 configuration that would define the brand's volume models for decades. It broke tradition as the only production Ferrari designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone rather than Pininfarina, resulting in a distinctive wedge-shaped profile. Originally launched under the 'Dino' brand to distinguish it from the V12 flagships, it was officially rebranded as a Ferrari in 1976. Despite its 2+2 seating layout, the GT4 is praised for its sharp handling and the mechanical symphony of its quad-cam engine fed by four Weber carburettors.

Ferrari 308 GT4 fun facts
- The 308 GT4 was the first production Ferrari to feature a mid-mounted V8 engine, a layout that continues today with the F8 Tributo and SF90.
- Enzo Ferrari himself was deeply involved in the design, even having a prototype seat and pedals mock-up made to ensure the 2+2 packaging worked.
- Early models did not carry Ferrari badges; they were branded as Dino until May 1976 when dealers were sent kits to rebadge existing stock to boost sales.
