Sergio Marchionne Hints At New Ferrari Dino

Palm Springs, Ca--Ferrari California T Pleasure RideEnlarge PhotoRumors of Ferrari's revitalization of its own Dino nameplate day back nearly a decade, with most new gossips generally becoming quashed within months of first springing up. The latest to stir the pot is none besides Ferrari chairman and Fiat-Chrysler Cars [NYSE:FCAU] CEO Sergio Marchionne. Maybe to deflect some warmth from recent report that several vehicle plans at FCA could be delayed, Marchionne has come out with opinions a resurrection of the Dino title was "not a question of if but when" and the newest automobile must be "done right."
He made the remarks during a recent interview with Autocar where he clarified that any new Dino will not be a new point-of-entry to the trade name, including that keeping exclusivity is still significant for Ferrari place the Luca di Montezemolo age.
"We might make a 500 hp Ferrari but it WOn't be a low-cost Ferrari," Marchionne stated. "The business name is unique and must be shielded."
This 500-hp result is less than the 552 horses of Ferrari's present entry level version, the California T. This implies the automobile may embrace a V6 motor, just like the first Dino. Ferrari execs happen to be suggesting a V6 version was potential in this age of retrenchment and controlling emissions. Then there is the problem of Formula 1 having embraced V6 engines; Ferrari has regularly connected its street auto plan with its F1 attempts.
Note, it was just several months ago that information of A-V-6-powered Ferrari sports-car expected in 2019 first surfaced. Yet, rather than a front-mounted motor as formerly indicated, Marchionne's remarks the automobile must be "done right" implies a mid-motor lay-out, like about the first Dino, is in the pipeline.
This kind of automobile, as opposed to sitting below the California T might end up being placed alongside it. The California T and its own ultimate successor may be aimed at purchasers seeking a cozy grand tourer while the Dino may be aimed at purchasers searching for a hard-core sports-car to accept McLaren's new Sports Collection, which can also be mid-engined, along with the likes of the Porsche-911 GT-3 RS along with the ultimate Black Collection edition of the mercedes amg GT.
