Thumbs up New Ferrari Dino concept by Ugur Sahin











Originally Posted by Ugur Sahin

Ferrari Dino Concept design is the modernized version of the successful Ferrari Dino produced by Ferrari.

The goal was to create a car that feels stylish, modern, dynamic and organic while staying true to the original design language of the Ferrari Dino and Ferrari brand in general.

The main characteristic of the Dino Concept design is the way it looks similar to the original Dino. With very round styling elements around the wheelbases and its cockpit, it looks retro and modern at the same time. With the right proportions combined, the car looks very dynamic and stylish. It stays true to its original with the design of the rear and the front being rounded and avoiding the hard edges as much as possible. Also the rear window opening is a striking feature originating from the original Ferrari Dino. The air intakes scoops however are very different compared to the original Dino, they look very organic and visually add a very organic feel to the car.

Other than the oversized wheels, it looks alright.

Shoulders and hips look rather bulky.

Cut a little off the lower body paneling & then drop, and I'll give it a .

Reminded me of Speed Racer either Mach 5 or Shooting Star influences.

I like it though except for the overly large wheels.

You know, I could have swore I read in like MotorTrend or R&T, one of them, where they interviewed an Ferrari official and they basically said they weren't going to make smaller cheaper Ferraris and that their market is and would remain as it is now.
