Hmm... Ferrari forgot their own history... no respect for the 308GT4!

308GT4 aside, they also seem to have overlooked the entire California range from 2010 onwards.

Even more ironic coming from a dealer in California.

 

Ferrari of Newport Beach a.k.a. ministry of misinformation

 

im not surprised at all, been like this forever with the gt4

 

In the auto industry I think the GT4 is technically a 2+2 not a 4 seater.

 

The GTC4 Lusso is a 2+2! And, while I'm at it, what a stupid bloody name! Can't they come up with something original?

 

Hmm, if they don't even know the recent history of their own company, how much are things like their classiche sert really worth?

 

Marketing departments and their suppliers are highly trained to be economical with the truth, polishing up facts to suit their narrative & hiding things that don't under the carpet. It's right to call them out, though & I hope a motoring journalist picks this one up.

 

That did cross my mind yesterday.

 

Hi guys ,it is true
in Maranello not many people knows Dino gt 4.
Some years ago i visited the Ferrari museum in Modena and there was no Dino Gt 4 .I asked to the Ferrari's lady that introduced the visitors to museum why no Dino Gt 4 was present, and she did not know this model!!!!
Hope now they have Dino Gt4 present in Museum,but i don't know.

 

The 308 GT4 was a Dino wasnt it? Not a Ferrari if you want to get technical. Before my time though. More egregious is, as was previously stated, the whole California line is front engine V8 with 4 seats. Marketing mumbo jumbo from the purveyor of the next luxury SUV and former maker of world class sports cars...

 

I think this is the answer ^^^^. My problem with the lusso is the GT4 actually is a smart, "nothing like it" good looking design 2+2 and well balanced enough where gt4 racecars are actually better racecars than 308gtb/s variants. The lusso is pretty ugly to me. If I had to carry 4 it would be...gulp...a Panamer for me and I hate porsches.

Definition - The 2+2 is a version of the coupé car body style that has two small rear seats for children or occasional usage, along with two front seats for the driver and front passenger.[1] For coupés that are sold either with or without rear seats, the versions that include rear seats are often marketed as a "2+2".

I believe the FF and Lusso have full size rear seats like the Panamera making them 4-seaters.

 

My GT4 is badged "Ferrari" and came so from the factory. Well most of it, the trunk lid seems to be a "Dino".

 

You were the first owner and it was delivered with Ferrari badges?

It’s a phenomenal automobile for four, rain snow or shine. An absolutely ferocious and sublime beast.

 

It’s a sad day now when the people working at Ferrari no longer know the history of their brand. Doesn’t bode will for their future? Ferrari/ Dino, I thought this was put to rest years ago, same thing. 4 seater vs 2+2 , same damn thing. The Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 is the 1st Ferrari V8 road car and it’s a 4 seater! No marketing BS twisting of the facts or anything else can change it! Period!

 

I just drove one of those last weekend. Johnny Rutherford Jr was my copilot.

 

They started putting Ferrari on them to sell better later in the production run.

Remember, back when these cars were new, Ferrari didnt have much to offer for US sales.

 

The Mondial has four seats too. They are clueless.

 

Interesting. As I said, before my time and I am no expert. Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea.

 

Yeah, while it was supposed to be sold simply as a Dino, the US bean counters quickly realized the value of the prancing horse, and started to badge the GT4 accordingly. There is an excellent piece of literature floating around on the forums (I think posted by Jack?) that is the factory service bulletin instructing dealers to remove the Dino badge from the hood, fill the horizontal rectangular hole, then install the Ferrari hood emblem just above that spot. I guess this means they shoul officially refer to the GT4 as a Ferrari?
