Vintage Behind the Wheel: 1975 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 

Yeah, a little too artsy. Wasn't really for car guys as this treatment omits the exhaust note which is vital information about the conduct of the car as well as THE MUSIC car guys want to hear.

Thank you, it is a beautiful car.

cartaufalous27 I agree!

I thought that was the sound of the engine...

John Morris . . . LoL.

It was the sound of Weber set up .....

It's terrible -- wrecks the video.

Love those dash switches

Yeah I hope so since this is the cheapest ferrari ever right now

You're right... the V8 in the GTB4 is just effortless. I got stopped a few years ago, driving a '79 308GTB4 home from work. The road I was on crossed a busier rural highway so I had to wait for the cross-traffic. Across from me, several other cars also waited for their break in traffic to get moving. My break came; I crossed the highway behind a small station wagon and had to putter along until we both passed the line of cars heading the other way. As we passed the end of that line, I jumped out and laid on the throttle, ran it up through the gears, and played through a couple of miles of crooked curves. The sound was spectacular!! The road ran for a couple of narrow miles to a T-intersection and I made the right to continue toward home. I was routinely checking the mirrors as I typically did and noticed a California Highway Patrol car come flying up the that same stop and make the turn to follow me. He pulled me over and asked were was I going/what was I doing/La-La-La..... I told him I worked for the dealership that was selling the car and I was taking advertising pictures for them ( I even had my camera gear in the back seat!). He asked how fast I was going. My reply was, "I'm not sure but I was never going faster than was safe for the conditions. His reply was, "when you passed that little wagon, all I saw was tailpipes!!!" He was in that line of waiting cars going the other way. He didn't see anything but those pipes just sounded wonderful and he certainly heard them clearly! I've always wondered if he remembered that day as clearly as I did. He just gave me a warning and went on his way.

+BMWhips Remember: it was the first production Ferrari to feature the mid-engined V8!

that's natural, even to day Ferrari got some part came from Fiat, nothing to laugh about

Thx

+Boris Kostic, I found out it is a performance by a Hawaiian singer, Charles K.L. Davis. Very effortless and sweet voice!

Yes.

Gandini designed the 308 GT4 and the Stratos at the same time, and it's pretty evident, especial in side view. The 308GT4 really seems a four seater Stratos.

Your EVO X was faster? I’d bet a 2022 Tesla Model 3 shopping basket would blow your modern classics into the weeds. But that’s not really the point, is it?

Dead-on brah

yeah, looked promising but, seriously, the car is Italian enough... clicked off. Love music. Hate Opera lol

you mean an Audi will never be a Lamborghini

Mike Labonte Actually an Audi is built better than a Lambo. Just compare the R8 with the Gallardo.

Opera goes perfectly with the classics . young boy

Young boy,? I'm 53, maybe if you could actually hear the person narrating/talking over the opera music it would be more watchable. And yes opera does go well with classic cars cruising down country roads but at the volume it is at on this video, sorry it ruins it, and not just for me by the looks of it .PS Tom Hertz assumptions are never good.

Mike Woods I heard his voice perfectly.

My Dad has one and also thinks the Uraco is a better looking design. I disagree. I love it and relish any time I get to sit in it.

Not anymore!

Disagree. Gorgeous.

Cool story bro but next time put dragons in it and play music over it.

+Ben Krapf I had a Ferrari Mondial, still feel back pain when I recall it, and a F355, a bit better, nice engine sound, but not really reliable!

Still got my 328 gts. Far more reliable than my e46 m3.
