GT4
Unleashed at the Paris Motor
Show in 1973, the 308 GT4 was a
groundbreaking model for Ferrari.
This angular 2+2 was the first
Ferrari production car to feature
Bertone bodywork, instead of the
usual Pininfarina design, and critics
compared its appearance to the
Bertone-designed Lancia Stratos

and the Lamborghini Urraco. The
GT4 was also the first production
vehicle to feature a mid-engined
V8 layout.
For the first three years of its
production the 308 GT4 carried the
Dino badge, as the intention was to
market the car as a supplement to
the two-seater 246 GT/GTS in the
Dino range, a recognized marque in
its own right. However, in 1976 the
GT4 received the iconic prancing
horse badge.
