I moved the Dino pic to the GT4 page since it is of a Bertone GT4 and not the more traditional Pininfarina GTB Dino that people normally think of. Yes, it is a Dino, and yes it is mentioned here. So it can stay. I'd love a pic of a Pinin Dino, though! --SFoskett 14:41, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

I propose making this page "Ferrari Dino" instead of "Dino (car)". It immediately removes ambiguity, and also properly places the Dino as a Ferrari model. Although originally intended to be a seperate marque, it simply didn't pan out that way, and I feel it more appropriate to list as I suggest. --196.2.127.9 13:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Bad idea they were branded Dino, not Ferrari. Ericd 19:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The time line is all worng for the Ferrari Mondial.

it's 1980 - 82 Mondial 8 1983 - 1985 Mondial qv (missing) 1986 - 1989 Mondial 3.2 1990 - 1993 Mondial t

the 308 is wrong too

the i version was produced from 1980 to 1982. The qv was produced from 1983 too 1985 the 328 was produced in 1989, but so was the 348 Some 348 were produced in 1995 too, but I beleive there were all Challnge cars.

[edit] New Dino?

Could there be a new Dino coming to respond to Lambo's new Miura? 192.235.1.34 19:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

According to Auto Express, [1] it's scheduled for release in 2009, as the Ferrari 420 Dino. "In 2009 Ferrari reused the Dino name - although not the Dino brand - for their Ferrari 420 Dino".-Ashley Pomeroy 17:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Ferrari denies they're going to build this car themselves, but Maserati hints they will do it, and that the new dino will thereby carry a V8 Maserati engine.

[edit] Factual Error

I corrected an entry under history, it is true that "Dino" Ferrari died in 1956, but the 1.6 litre class was introduced in 1966. Otherwise it would have been pretty bad engineering if it had took Ferrari about 10 years to create an engine, as for homologation causes it was first seen in production with the Fiat Dino in 1967.

I think it should be removed: that's a front engined mule for a small GT. We don't even know if under that body there's a Ferrari, but even if it is, it's not a Dino for sure: it's, again, a front engined small GT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.193.49.191 (talk) 13:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
