A 1974 example sits at the very beginning of that story, before the Ferrari name even appeared on the flanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-car\"\u003eFerrari's First V8 Road Car — and Bertone's Only Ferrari\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 308 GT4's 2926 cc V8 sits transversely amidships, breathed on by four twin-choke Weber carburettors and producing approximately 255 hp (DIN). That architecture — compact, mid-mounted, eight cylinders — was entirely new for a Ferrari road car in 1974 and would underpin the 308 GTB, the 328 and a lineage that ran for decades. The 2+2 cabin gave it a slightly longer wheelbase than its two-seat successors, but the mechanical package was the same blueprint. Between 1974 and 1980 a total of 2826 examples were built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-story\"\u003eDino Badge, Bertone Lines — the Outsider of 1970s Maranello\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1974 until 1976, the 308 GT4 left the factory wearing only the Dino sub-brand identity: no prancing horse on the nose, no Ferrari script on the tail. It is one of the subtler details that separates an early car from a late-production one and makes a correctly presented 1974 example historically distinct. The Bertone-penned body is equally singular: angular creases and wedge proportions that sit apart from every other Pininfarina-styled Ferrari of the era. In black that angularity reads with particular authority — none of the red-car showmanship, just geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-model\"\u003eKK Scale 1:18 Die-Cast — Correct Badging, Correct Year\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKK Scale has reproduced this car as a \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e die-cast metal model, specifying the 1974 build year and the black livery. Die-cast construction at this scale allows the Bertone bodywork's sharp character lines and the low roofline of the 2+2 greenhouse to read clearly. The absence of Ferrari badging on a 1974 car is a period-correct detail that a well-researched \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e model should respect — and the KK Scale release is catalogued accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display\"\u003eIn the Cabinet — Placing the GT4 in Context\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 308 GT4 occupies a genuinely singular position in a Ferrari collection: the only Bertone-bodied model in an otherwise all-Pininfarina lineup. A black example contrasts immediately against the red 308 GTBs and GTS models that typically surround it. For collectors building a narrative around Ferrari's V8 lineage, it pairs naturally with a 308 GTB (1975 onward) or a 328 GTB to show the architectural continuity. Those drawn to the Dino chapter will find it a compelling companion to a Dino 246 GT — the V6 predecessor it effectively replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KK SCALE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57061722030464,"sku":"KKDC181233","price":75.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-ferrari-dino-308-gt4-1974-black-front34.jpg?v=1792766947","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/ferrari-dino-308-gt4-1974-black-kkdc181233","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
