When the Ferrari 308 hit the automotive scene in 1975 there was much fanfare around the car as it was highly regarded as a worthy successor of the much loved Dino 246 and its styling is still considered one of the most beautiful cars ever built. According to Sergio Pininfarina, the inspirations for the styling came from the Dino Berlinetta Speciale that was exhibited at Paris in 1965. Road testers and enthusiasts alike hailed the refined performance the car had to offer. Paul Frere summed it up as he began his 1976 Road and Track review “Dino 246 fans, cheer up! There is a worthy 2 seat successor to your favorite car. And it's even better, faster, quieter and more comfortable.”
