Don’t call it “Dino”: Ferrari bringing new model to Paris
Ferrari officials have supposedly confirmed that their new mini-model is coming to the Paris Motor Show this fall and in keeping with the company line, it won’t be sporting a “Dino” badge when it’s unveiled.
We’ve seen more camo-clad spy shots of the new model undergoing testing in recent months and it’s assumed that the small Ferrari will be built atop the Maserati GranTurismo’s platform, powered by a 4.7-liter V8. The new model’s name is still open to speculation, but The Car Connection is reporting that a “GT” moniker will likely be used, something along the lines of GT420 or GT470. Pricing is expected to be set so that the Ferrari will slot in between the Maserati Gran Turismo and the Ferrari F430.
