Over the years, Ferrari have steadily become more technologically advanced, electronically governed and aerodynamically complicated. This is probably most evident in the transition from the 430 to the new 458 Italia, which has added a few pretty pennies to the check you have to sign. Nobody is complaining, since it’s not proper to do so when you’re rich enough to buy a new Prancing Horse. But what if more people could afford a Ferrari?
When asked by Automobile Magazine about the revival of the Dino, which would become an entry-level sportscar to be sold for $175,000, Ferrari CEO said there’s no need for a production increase other than the one needed to quench demand from emerging markets like China or Russia.
But smaller car’s were not completely ruled out by the CEO, who said: "The weight of our cars has to come down, the aerodynamic efficiency must improve, and now that Formula 1 is about to agree to switch to six-cylinder engines, a downsized powerplant may become acceptable for our next entry-level road car."
