Introduced in 1973, the Dino 308 GT4 marked a major turning point for Ferrari as its first production road car powered by a mid-mounted V8. Designed by Bertone with distinctive angular styling, the 2+2 coupe featured a transverse 3.0-liter V8 producing 255 horsepower. Originally sold under the Dino name before adopting Ferrari badging, the 308 GT4 established the mid-engine V8 formula that would define generations of Ferrari sports cars.
