DoctaM3 Report post Posted May 30, 2019 A Swedish friend and chief creative designer of my YouTUBE channel (Alex aka @aalttomotive) shared this with me from a Lamborghini interest group. Its translated & posted by Eric Andersson - Lamborghini Club Svezia. I love these kinds of write up with the master himself. Really cool to hear Ferruccio himself talk about design, a candid & very human discussion about why he didn't enter racing (worried about his son--recall some of deaths that happened around these times). Interview was in 1981. A great read. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Boy Report post Posted July 3, 2019 Was great to hear from Ferruccio directly on the Urraco-Dino 308 GT/4 connection.....confirms that the Dino 308 GT/4 for all intents and purposes is a Ferrari with Lamborghini styling. I've always read that Enzo Ferrari had a mock up that allowed him to modify the wheelbase and a few other dimensions of the Dino in the prototype phase, so it's likely that what we know now as the 308 GT/4 would have looked slightly different as an Urraco had Ferruccio accepted it. All that's left of the mystique is why Enzo went to Bertone for his 2+2 car and not Pininfarina? I've read some things, but nothing was ever conclusive. And surely he knew he had a Lamborghini on his hands and still accepted the design to be built for production. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
