Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 1980

The 1980 Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 is a special model with a rich history dating back to when Ferrari decided to introduce the Dino line as a sub-brand. This line was intended to offer sporty cars with smaller engines, without compromising on performance or style. The 208 GT4 was the first Ferrari with a mid-engine, V8, which marked a revolutionary step for the brand. Designed by Bertone, unlike many other Ferraris of the era designed by Pininfarina, this car combined sharp lines with an unparalleled driving experience.

With a displacement of only 2.0 liters, the 208 GT4 is one of a kind. The car was developed specifically for the Italian market, where stricter tax regulations applied to larger engines. Despite its limited displacement, the V8 engine delivers impressive performance, with a high rpm bandwidth and smooth acceleration. The engine, mated to a manual transmission, offers a pure driving pleasure characteristic of Ferrari.

This particular example has been well maintained and is in start-up and driveable condition. Recently, the car has undergone an extensive maintenance, at a cost of no less than €13,000. This included new tires all around, which not only improves safety but also optimizes performance on the road. This investment highlights the care that has been given to the car to keep it in top condition.

The interior of the Dino 208 GT4 reflects the understated luxury sought by Ferrari during this period. High-quality materials and thoughtful ergonomics make the car a joy not only to drive, but also to spend time in. The distinctive dashboard, focused on the driver, is a tribute to the analog era when every detail was designed and crafted by hand.

This Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 combines rarity with timeless appeal and a rich history. For enthusiasts and collectors, it offers an opportunity to own a special chapter of Ferrari history. Its recent maintenance investment and excellent driving condition make it an attractive choice for anyone looking for a classic sports car with modern reliability.
