Ferrari's Dino Reborn

It's the supercar scoop of the year! Auto Express has had exclusive access to insider details and can now reveal all the details of the Italian legend’s most important new model of the decade. Yes, the Dino is back!
These pictures show the new Ferrari 420 Dino, which our sources in Italy have confirmed will go on sale in 2010. Despite being conceived more than two years ago, the whole project only got the green light in September, and is scheduled to be unveiled at a major motor show in 2009.

Taking the latter part of its name from Enzo Ferrari’s son, our contacts are confident that the eventual title will be ‘420 Dino’, with the number referring to the V8 engine’s size.

Back in Italy, one fierce debate is still raging between Ferrari, Pininfarina – the car’s designer – and Ferrari’s owner, Fiat. While all indicators still lean toward the Dino being a coupé-cabriolet with a folding hard-top, some bosses would prefer to launch the entry-level model as a berlinetta hard-top GTB first, followed soon after by a targa GTS.

This would follow the trend set by the 246 Dino GT and GTS from 1968 and 1971, and the 308 GTB and GTS from 1975 and 1977.

Whatever is chosen, annual Dino production is figured to be anywhere between 3,500 and 5,000 cars, and Ferrari has actively sought partners to help lower and spread out the massive manufacturing costs. One company involved is aluminium specialist Alcoa, who will be making the spaceframe chassis in a new facility in Modena, Italy. The outer shell will be constructed from carbon fibre.

The new Dino started life as a Maserati in 2004. However, Ferrari’s then sister firm changed its plans, deciding to develop a luxurious Quattroporte-based coupé to rival the Mer*cedes CL instead. So Ferrari adopted the chassis and technology for the Dino.

Unlike the classic original, the newcomer will get a front-mounted V8. The unit is expected to be an all-aluminum 90-degree 4.2-litre unit with around 480bhp.

Inside, the Dino will be the first Ferrari to get standard-fit satellite navigation. The cabin promises to be practical, and alongside the carbon fibre trim shown, an aluminium finish will also be available. Transmission options haven’t been confirmed, but the paddleshifters are likely to control an automated manual.

Aimed squarely at Porsche’s 911 Turbo and Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage, the Dino will be priced between £82,000 and £90,000. This will make the Ferrari badge more accessible, but will also leave room for the F430 to move upmarket. We can also reveal plans to give that model a 550bhp 5.0-litre V10 by the end of 2008. An all-new replacement for the F430 is also already on the drawing board, and is scheduled for 2010.

Looks cute and Not bad for early photos, hope I can get one by then.

looks like a cayman, especially the top pic.

The top pic is a P-shop of a Cayman.

Dino Ferrari. With traction control and flappy paddles.

They really seem to be set on ruining otherwise beautiful cars over there, these days. :mad:

I hope it get released, I want one badly.

It's a "baby" version of F599 Fiorano :D

I wonder if dealers are taking deposits or not? I think I will find out this weekend...

you know what makes me sad? even though that this car probably wont come out, let's say it does.......even though this is supposed to be relatively "cheap", a dealer is still gonna charge really hi over sticker for it.

the car from the back looks like cayman :D

It may look like a cayman, but it sure as hell won't act like one!!! :cool: :cool:

so like the vantage, it will probably end up being 20-25% more expensive than they originally thought, and by the time the dealers mark it up, it'll be at least 150k. If they could actually keep it around 110-120k it would be a pretty good competitor for the porsche and the AM.

looks like a cayman and it is small

Btw i hope Ferrari do not continue the mono circle taillights.
IMO double circle at each side is better
