The Dino 308/208 GT4, introduced in 1973, marked a significant departure for Ferrari, being the first production Ferrari to feature a mid-mounted V8 engine and the only Ferrari ever styled by Bertone, rather than Pininfarina. Initially met with some controversy due to its angular lines and the Dino badging (reserved for less-than-12-cylinder cars at the time), the GT4 quickly proved its mettle as a true driver's car. Its 2+2 seating configuration offered a surprising degree of practicality, while the potent V8 engine, mounted transversely, provided exceptional balance and a captivating soundtrack. The 208 GT4, specifically, was developed for the Italian market to circumvent a luxury tax on cars over two liters, utilizing a de-stroked version of the 3.0-liter V8, making it a unique and historically interesting variant within the Dino lineage. This 1975 Dino 208 GT4 exemplifies the model's unique blend of performance and design. Showing just 30,937 miles on the odometer, this example is presented in a striking Hyperion Azuro Metalizzato exterior, a sophisticated azure blue that beautifully complements Bertone's sharp lines. The interior is upholstered in a luxurious Light Beige leather, creating an elegant contrast with the exterior. Power is delivered through a engaging 5-speed manual transmission, offering a direct and visceral connection to the car's 2.0-liter V8 engine. This Bertone-designed Ferrari offers a distinctive entry into classic Prancing Horse ownership.
