Unusual Ferrari

Never seen one like this before, a Dino re-creation based on a 308!

I'm not a big Ferrari fan, but this has got to be a nice alternative to the real thing given that they are now fetching £250 -£300K:

Do I see the v8 running K-jet, well at least it will start in the morning

Well spotted Eddy. I completely missed the fact that it has K-jet on it.

K-jet was fitted to so many cars/manufacturers, for so many years, and despite numerous criticisms, it's a good setup, only limited really by the fact that it was fairly well configured/tuned to the model it was attached to.
pretty simple, very effective.

I find this a bit weird. In all honesty I've never really liked the look of the Dino, but the 308 series to me is one of the classic Ferrari looks that didn't get much better! Each to their own I suppose!

the Dino to me is the pinnacle of all motor cars, looks only matched by the Miura and the Porsche 904 GTS, and a ride in a Dino 40 years ago is what set off my life as a petrol head.

I'm with you on the Miura and 904! I must admit the sound of the Dino V6 being given some stick is something everyone should experience!

A couple of pictures of the real thing, for comparison purposes
