chassis F106CL
The new 308 GT4 Dino was unveiled at the Paris Salon in October 1973.
It was intended as a replacement for the popular 246 GT Dino, but
with new 2+2 seating and increased power to compensate for the two
main criticisms levelled at its predecessor. In both of these respects
the 308 GT4 succeeded admirably; despite the improved and more comfortable
accommodation the overall length of the car was increased by just
10cm whilst the new 8 cylinder engine produced 250bhp compared to
the 190bhp of the 246 GT Dino.
The handling of the new car was also above reproach and to this
day collectors of the marque for its driving characteristics praise
the model. In 1975, due to the Italian tax breaks, a 1990cc version
of the dohc V8 was introduced into the 308GT4 car, producing the
208GT4. An under square engine, it produced 170bhp. Around 840 examples
were produced until 1980
