Launched at the 1973 Paris Salon, the Dino 308 GT4 was a seminal model for Maranello. The first V8-powered Ferrari, it was also the marque’s first non-Pininfarina styled production car. The work of Marcello Gandini at Bertone (whose other 1970s credits included the Lamborghini Countach and Lancia Stratos), its angular lines were in stark contrast to those of the outgoing Dino 246 GT. Enzo Ferrari personally oversaw the newcomer’s ergonomics, while multiple F1 World Champion Niki Lauda is said to have honed its driving dynamics. A 2+2-seater underpinned by a tubular steel spaceframe chassis featuring all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, front / rear anti-roll bars and rack and pinion steering, the 308 GT4 was judged faster and better handling than its predecessor by the contemporary motoring press. The overall cockpit design was considered futuristic matched by the external aerodynamic bodywork. The desirability levels of these Ferraris are quietly ballooning with prices, quite rightly, following suit.
