New Ferrari Dino talk hosed down
No born-again Dino now – or in the foreseeable future -- Ferrari insistsContrary to rumours, an all-new entry-level Ferrari Dino hasn’t been cancelled or even postponed.
And yet it’s still not coming, because according to Ferrari the third coming of the Dino was never an approved model program, except in the minds of a few British journalists.
While Ferrari refuses to rule out a Dino at some point in the future of the Prancing Horse brand, it this week derided talk that plans for such a model had been cancelled.
“We haven’t cancelled the Dino because we never had the Dino. There was nothing to cancel,” a Ferrari spokesperson said this week.
“This [talk] only came about because Sergio Marchionne refused to rule it out a while ago, but he never said it was coming, either.”
British motoring media claimed a world exclusive on the reborn Dino, a modern iteration of Ferrari’s achingly gorgeous V6 junior model from 1967.
But instead of reincarnating a lower-priced model called the Dino, Ferrari plumped for the even more expensive plug-in hybrid V8-powered SF90 Stradale hypercar.
No fewer than 15 new Ferrari models will arrive before the Italian supercar brand’s current business plan ends in 2022, with two new convertibles coming next: the F8 Spider and 812 GTS.
