Dino Ferrari (to the right, Enzo to the left)
Ferrari Dino
One of my all time favorite Ferraris, and classic cars.
In production between 1968 and 1980, the Ferrari Dino was named after the founder's late son Alfredo"Dino" Ferrari. Dino was Enzo's first son. He was born in 1932 but died in 1956 of muscular dystrophy.
The Dino was set to be the "budget" Ferrari, having V6 and V8 engines as opposed to the rip-roaring V12 and flat 12 engine of the other Ferraris. The Dino was intended to be a more affordable, yet elegant and classy sports car.
Now, 35 years later, there are rumors of a Dino comeback. In 2008, spy pictures were allegedly taken of a new Dino, only computer images have been released...
I recently came across a site dedicated to the Dino, an essential Ferrari model: http://www.dinoregister.com/
