150 Ferrari Dinos Gather In Maranello To Celebrate The Model’s 50th Anniversary

Ferrari has made a lot of iconic models over the course of its 70-year history. But few still hold sway over the hearts of so many as the Dino series.

To celebrate that model line’s 50th anniversary, over 150 of them gathered in Maranello where they began production half a century ago.

The series started with the 206 GT, which was subsequently upgraded to the 246 but kept much of the original shape. They were replaced with the boxier, Bertone-designed 308 GT4, and yielded several racing variants over the course of nearly two decades before the name was retired.

Now if you’re thinking “has it really only been 50 years since the debut of the Dino?” – you’re right. It’s been longer. The first concept actually debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 1965. The production version followed at the Turin show in ’66, and was officially launched at Frankfurt in ’67.

That means the anniversary really should have been marked last year. But the Prancing Horse marque was busy celebrating its own 70th anniversary in 2017, so it pushed off the Dino festivities until now.

The event saw owners from around the world arrive in Maranello on Saturday, gathering at the factory museum before hitting the Fiorano test track and driving out (after a special factory tour) one at a time through the famous archway on Via Abetone.

If you weren’t there to take part in the festivities, you can still relive it in the image gallery and video below. But the bigger question is when, if ever, Ferrari might revive the name and what it stood for with a new entry-level Dino for the 21st century.
