    Did you folks check out Michiel van den Brink's rendition of what a new Dino would look like? I know it's only a concept but I want one! I don't really lust after new Ferraris in the same way I do the older cars but I think I'd have to pull the trigger on a new one if it looked like the car Michiel penned. Check it out for yourselves.

    If this picture is old news, forgive me but my web surfing time is limited these days.

    Cheers,

    There are many photos on that page, but I think I see a mid-engined mini SuperAmerica.

    Yasmin. Thanks for sending the thread - very interesting to see how Michiel ended up with the current revision of his Dino drawing. Synchro, I should have been more specific as you are correct, there were lots of drawings on that page. The Dino was the one in the upper left hand corner with the three vents on the roof pillars and looks most similar to the 72-74 246 GTS - silver/grey in color. I don't suppose we could initiate a group buy for the car?! A nice styling exercise, regardless of what (if anything) it leads to.

    Thanks all for chiming in.

    Cheers,

    Keith

    Interesting. A group buy? Maybe we could be the first three, all from Seattle! (Keith, Synchro i.e. Scott, and me).

    Hello!
    I'm glad you like my Dino-design.
    The drawing you're referring to is actually quite realistic.
    It is based on the F430-chassis and can be developed into production.

    The other Ferrari-design, the GTO revival, is going to be built, so why not building this Dino?

    Check out my Dino-designthread and enjoy!

    That is possible.
    I now have my own designagency and have found a partner that can build this car.
