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.

Agreed and i hope it's going to look beautiful... Just like the mighty 599...

To put it that way, yes, limited production might make it all work.

That is a great chop, I like it a lot. I find it much more beautiful than what Ferrari has now.

I hope they don't ramp up production too much. Buy a Maserati if you want a mass produced, Ferrari-style car!

Ferrari should make a special 599 Michael Schumacher Edition. They should make 72 of there. That's the number of races he's won for Ferrari F1.

I'm disappointed that Honda has not produced a Senna Edition NSX.

I am all for low production numbers but in case the numbers will be on the high side, it may be a blessing in disguise for the other car companies since Ferrari will be trading some appeal due to exclusivity for some increased revenue. Ferrari may win but some customers and F-car owners will be losers....
Obviously the Dino owners will all feel like winners....

As some of you know I'm a big Italian car fan so I can't wait to see this car, if it is indeed real.

The Dino was the most handsome Ferrari of its time.

I agree with you on first point. It really is a bit sad that they are bringing it back as a "budget" Ferrari but still with a price of around 120k and with less then 400 it really won't be that cheap. Ferrari better make it drop dead gorgeous, otherwise africandos will be enraged.
I won'der if it will be based on the new Quattroporte coupe or if Ferrari will build it on an entire new platform.

But the Dino was budget Ferrari in the first place. It was named after one the sons of Enzo Ferrari, who also worked on its developement.
It was always the budget/underpowered/almost_not_a_Ferrari Ferrari.
It wasn't suposed to be an exclusive Ferrari, but the most sold one, similar to Porsche's 914.
