New Dino announced?

Nope, that's for 488 Spyder

 

Maybe Dino could be something much more radical: http://www.recipeapart.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ferrari-concept.jpg

 

maybe 488 GTS, but I think it's the new Dino rather than the GTS

ciao

 

The 458 and I suppose the 488 too are huge cars. I would love a smaller Ferrari.

 

Would they dare rebadge;http://cdn.jjy1058.com/2015/05/27/2014alfaromeo4c-l-c2c8e3fa424967d2.jpg

 

Well a 4C + 6 cylinders + Ferrari steering wheel = fine by me

 

Since no one has posted any spy shots of what could be a new smaller Ferrari, I doubt very much that the "new Dino" will be announced on July 28. Assuming that the new car were to materialize, I think we'd be seeing all manner of camouflaged cars driving aroung Maranello for some time before the official announcement, whether a disguised Alfa 4C or a cobbled up 458 or California with a shorter wheelbase.

That could be great donor car.

 

Thanks. I'd been looking for an existing thread but couldn't find it.

 

He's correct, 488 Spider

 

Yep

Wow! That's a bit bigger indeed hahaha.

 

La Ferrari seems much more nimble than 458 too: http://images.thecarconnection.com/med/what-car-did-jeremy-clarkson-use-for-his-final-lap-on-the-top-gear-test-track_100518757_m.jpg

 

Even the TR is small today.

Favorite photo/caption of the year!! Hilarious.

 

Prior to your photo, if asked I would have sworn that the 512 was bigger than a 458. Yes, looking forward to a new Dino.

A new smaller Dino would be fantastic ... It would be nice if they could get a design with the beauty of the 246gt .. that would be a hit..

 

A few years ago there was a "new Dino" thread with 50+ pages of mostly sketches, but there were a few interesting ideas mixed in there that might make it a useful read...

It will be nice if the new car pays some visual homage to the original but given the current laws and market forces it won't be the lighter, more nimble and cheaper Ferrari that the Dino was.

 

It's not inconceivable that it might be.
If we take the 4c as something of a starting point, it weighs in at between 400-500kg. less than the 458. Weight of larger engine, brakes, wheels, etc. for a new "Dino" could be offset to a substantial degree by using lighter technology in those areas where the Alfa can't because of cost considerations.
