| Re: Will Ferrari build a new Dino? I'm sorry to dissapoint you guys but it seem like the Dino will be revived. Read this:
LB @ rennteam.com
"Last May I was invited to place a order on the much speculated Dino. I put down a deposit fully refundable incase the project did not get the green light.
Today i recieved a phone caller from the sales manager letting me know that ferrari has officially given the go ahead and that the Dino was planned for production. Unofficiall pictures were published in the german Auto Bild Magazine.
Coupe allocation for end 2007 and Spider for 1st quarter 2008 "
Personally I have no problem with a mini Ferrari as long as Ferrari does what AM did with the Vantage, and produce the car in very limited numbers. The AMV8 production is at 2000 cars/year. Since Ferrari is a more exclusive brand the Dino production will probably not exceed 2000 cars/year.
The F430 uses a modified Maserati engines, and I guess that the Dino will have a 6 cylinder version of the V8 lying in the F430. Since Loyal Ferrari customers are as we speak signing up for their Dino suggest to me that that when the car is launched it will already be sold out for the next 2-3 years. |
