When it comes to Ferrari<\/a> Dino's '70s curves and sad tribute come to mind. But today, thanks to British designer Kevin O'Rourke and his team, this retro icon is getting a second life. The Dino Evo Restomod project pushes back all limits: the latest evolution will be powered by a Ferrari 458 Italia V8!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferrari Dino: too wise a car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 1967, the Dino 206 GT was the first Ferrari road car with a rear mid-engine. Followed in 1969 by the 246 GT, it gained in displacement (2.4 L) and power (195 hp), but remained far from the performance of the Ferrari V12. At the time, Enzo Ferrari decided to name it Dino rather than Ferrari, in tribute to his late son, Alfredo \"Dino\" Ferrari, who had contributed to the development of the V6 engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many love it for its style, its history. Few for its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dino Evo project: an already impressive first project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the Dino Evo's craftsmanship is impressive. The aluminum body, painted in a superb deep metallic blue, has been handcrafted using classic methods, down to the smallest detail. This is far from a simple restoration project: here, every part has been thought through, tested and adjusted, and the whole exudes quality. A complete overhaul, almost handcrafted, with body panels remade by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the hood, the original Dino V6 engine is gone. It has been replaced by a deeply modified Ferrari 328 V8 block. Scaled up to 3.8 liters, equipped with titanium connecting rods, lightened pistons, modern fuel injection, latest-generation electronic management and TubiStyle exhaust system, this engine transforms the car without altering its spirit. All coupled to a manual gearbox, for a purist driving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
