This Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 Is Beloved By Autodromo's Bradley Price

- Опубликовано: 8 окт 2024
- The Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 is a unique car. Overshadowed by its bigger brother, the 308 GT4, the 208 was originally created to skirt under the Italian tax levied on engines above two liters. What the 208 GT4 lacks in displacement it makes up for in sound and style. For Bradley Price, designer and owner of Autodromo, the opportunity to acquire a practical "super car" of the '70s with its famous wedge styling was too hard to ignore. After a year of ownership, Bradley can consistently be found escaping the city and revving the sweet-sounding V8 along the roads and hills of New York.

"I always feel really happy with what I have". This is what everyone should live by, and not just with cars.
Beautiful marriage of images, music and sound with a terrific commentary piece from the owner. More of these please Petrolicious.
god put a sock in it man...
Wrong car, horrific sounds, and sub-par audio / video quality......
I owned a dino 308gt4 for 25 years......fully rebuilt every part of it and thoroughly enjoyed doing it. They are a joy to drive, a car so advanced for its time, and one that still has a magic about it that is soooo lacking in today's cars that do everything for you. It brings you back to real driving.
these shows sincerely need to be longer. I love everything you guys are putting together. I just want to live vicariously through these people for a little bit longer...
Beautiful car , very underrated design. A classic in my eyes 😍
An undisputed TURD in the rest of the world's eyes.
Such a beautiful presentation. I was unaware of the 208 GT4 and its 2 L engine. This video and this owner remind me of myself and how I view special cars like this with heart and soul. I am not a guy who has to have the most powerful car or the newest. This car and everything he says about it and why he is so happy with it whether others are impressed or not shows he is a true car aficionado. The only one who needs to love one's car is oneself. This guy gets it.
I think this video is very well put together, the story, the car and the piano tune, sounds to me very nostalgic 😭
This channel is gold
I've always loved this body. I don't know why it's so under-appreciated. I envy this guy for finding this car. And yes, even at 2L, it sounds awesome.
Great video and seems like a great owner too. I never liked this model, but it really grows on me the older it gets. It seems to have very nice handling and it doesn't matter if it's fast or not. The small V8 has charme and I bet this car is a pleasure to ride.
Great vid, I just acquired a 308 GT4 two days ago. A fine example of the art. The new/old XWX Michelins are worth the price of admission.
Its like the girl you met at a party you can't stop looking at, only to realize as you are getting a drink, she is with you.
Great episode. Understated passion.
Can't wait for next episode.
Brad is a great guy. I got in touch with him a couple of years ago before buying my 208 GTB (1980) and offered me great advice.
My decision was mostly based on his feedback and now I am incredibly happy with my car, because what you need to understand is that inside these pieces of art pure acceleration and speed play only a minor part of the overall experience. Rather I can say that the 2.0L V8 sound is a lot more pleasant than the 308 3.0L’s. Certainly I’d love to have a 308 too, but the 208 in my experience is not inferior, it’s just different, with her own magnificent personality.
I was never aware of the two liter version until now. What a neat GT4!
I have a Daimler Dart (SP250) with a 2.5l hemi V8. Long live the small displacement V8's! Always good for a conversation
2.0 liter V8 - crazy! These videos rock! Please keep them coming.
Bertone gets no respect from Ferrari fans which is sad. The wedge styling looks good to me.
Bertone AND Ferrari deserve no respect, period.
Michael Meliambro lmao
Overtones of the Stratos
totally agree with you!
Wow, once again very well done. Every single one of your works creates an own atmosphere that it keeps throughout the whole video. The shots fit, the scenery, the music, the editing. It keeps its very own feeling.
Goat trail! Back home in the Hudson valley. Great roads. Also 211 is another great one great car and a great video
I drove one in the 70s. Beautiful and FUN drivers.
This guys gets it. He understands what more enthusiasts need to; be happy with your car and not wish you had someone else's.
Beautiful tribute to a lovely marque. Thank you, Herb Greenwood
By the way: again, a wonderful video! Nice images, great sound (car & music). Thank you!
Um dos melhores vídeos que já vi, dá para ver o sentimento pelo carro, acabei achando o vídeo porque uma 208 gt4 foi a leilão em Brasil
Another mini-masterpiece! Thanks, Petrolicious.
the small displacement and large number of cylinders enables it to rev more than the 3.0lt engine version that is why he says that the engine has a sweeter note that the 3.0lt engine. So if your used to american v8s and there sound it is because of there larger displacement they make a low tone burble sound.
Birth of Incredible Italian beauty 🖤
Visually well-balanced design. Seen in person the low overall height is striking. The sound is thrilling. The cost of the car is moderate, but the price of admission is just a drop in the bucket compared the expense of ownership.
Thank sou for this beautiful production! Car & owner are wonderful!
I think it does sound better as a 2 litre.
probably because it is a short stroke V-8
@@TheMentalblockrock it’s actually sleeved down from the original 308, so it’s technically a long stroke engine
Thank you please keep this videos coming. Petrolicious the best car videos!
Although I prefer some other Ferraris from this era- particularly the 275 GTB and the 246 Dino- this car is immaculate. Classic stuff.
Great colour
A very Nice ferrari! Love the Lamborghini like design of The dino. For The ones who say this is not a real ferrari know that this is a rare dino and that Will pay out in the end!!
Mr. Price, I think you're a very cool gentleman. You look very good in your beautiful FERRARI. Alfredino (Dino) was the very beloved son of Enzo. For that reason alone a Dino = Ferrari.
I'm so glad to see you drive your car in the spirit it was intended to: full throttle. I wish you tons of happiness.
A fellow Ferrari driver. ;-)
I was convinced this was an IMAX film. Well done, I am now subscribed.
RIP to this beautiful road
I had a 1975 308GT4 and traded it for my Countach 5000QV... I so miss the 308GT4... had GTS QVs and Maseartis and ALFAs and currently Abarth 500... but still want my GT4... hold on to it...
This guy is a legend. His time pieces are immaculate.
As always a great video, I love the part where he says he keeps it out of the city.
I wish you many years of enjoyment from your car. You have a great attitude about it and an obvious love for the aesthetics of it as much as the marque itself.
So professional. Impressed, well done.
Beautiful Dino Bradley!! Currently 'pricing' the market for a 208 GT4......we'll see if I can 'work it' into my budget.......
This car has to be the "Porsche 924" of the Ferrari range.
On days like these...
You're right Bradley, I stand corrected. I indeed went too far and I offer my apologies.
Automobile enthusiasts sometimes get pretty heated about different marques. At the end of the day, however, we all share the passion, the history and the tradition of all things automotive.
If I'm ever in NY I'll look you up, I will admire your car and I will buy you a beer.
Thanks again for another little piece of Art. (Film and Car).
agreed! if these videos were each an hour I'd watch every minute.
summing it all up once again - lovely
Nice video. You can feel the passion!
I love this video, thank you for posting & sharing your passion with us. Yes folks, you can still purchase a 30+ year-old Ferrari/Dino for less the millions all the 60's Ferrari cars are selling for at the auctions......sure it's not a 67 275 GTB4, but hey give it time and someday these forgotten unloved 70's Ferraris will be desired at the auctions....just give it time.
This is my favorite Ferrari of all times. I am part of a very small minority I know but love the 308 GT4
first video from this channel I watch, I am now a new subscriber.
I wish the channel would set up a car meet for all the fans - would love to hang out with people like this.
No no no Bradley, there is nothing "perverse" - as you mention at minute 4:44-, in put your "jewel" in the outside of traffic or cities and drive through there in another most common car! This is the ONE & ONLY common sense to enjoy and "exercise" properly your personal priced property like this one you have.On the contrary, CONGRATULATIONS for this centered vision of the proper use of a "personal Interest" machine.
Like everyone else here I think you guys from PetroliciousCo for making these awesome videos for us fans, but I would like to thank Bradley for sharing his "Petrolicious" feelings with the world (us). Thanks!
A beautiful timeless design.
Great video, great car. Thanks for the upload:)
The best Ferrari is any one in MY garage.
well put
The BEST Ferrari is one in the impound lot.
That car is as old as I am depending upon the time of the year it was made. Did it get decent gas mileage? I suppose it would on the highway or in the city as long as you didn't speed too much. With my luck if some one around here had that car he would only do 20 MPH. That is the kind of old geezer that lives around here, the kind that have a fairly quick car but never seem to find that accelerator. One time there was this old geezer in a Corvette and my mom was behind him in her Jeep motioning move it. Her Jeep was just a 4 liter inline 6 too. I don't know if they still make that 4.0 any more but she had that thing for 10 years and it still ran good when she traded it in.
Good to see that this car is driven in open roads and enjoyed, this car and others like it have no business being in a city
oh wow this car is similar in design to the lancia stratos, both beautiful cars.
I am sorry but the wedge cars have a face only a mother could love. Nothing like the earlier, or later even, evocative rolling shapes of Pininfarina. But I can see this guys appreciation for it.
"best looking Ferrari ever" says no-one but me...
Loved this episode
It's like the Stratos with extra seats. Gorgeous
THIS is a truly, truly beautiful video. Fantastic.
That's most important, to choose carefull and feel happy with what you own.
Omg those roads look beautiful! Can someone tell what were the roads this was filmed on? I wanna take a drive out to a great road and please help.
I love this channel but there seems to be a lot of Euro cars featured here (which is fine, I drive a Bmw) but I would love to see something like a vintage Corvette. I'm sure there are plenty of proud owners who would like to be featured. (A 1969 small block is what I'd love to see). Good work!
Great video as usual, how and why aren't you guys on HBO doing a 1/2 hour car show?
Jeez these videos are well done! Serious professionalism in then. These short, but sweet, videos are better than the majority of crap Hollywood have vomited onto the big screen in the last ~5-10 years.
Amazing stuff guys, bravo and keep up the excellent work.
I've always loved the Ferrari 208/308 GT4's even though they're not the quintessential "Ferrari".
Jason, if you ever get the chance to spend an hour or two... or as many as possible, behind the wheel of either of these very special understated cars, you won't give a hoot what anyone else thinks about them. I've never seen a 208 GT4 personally but I've spent many hours in a 308 Dino GTB4. I just couldn't care less what someone else thinks about it. A mid-week drive up CA Highway 1 from San Francisco to Eureka (when there's minimal traffic!) will convince you that you're driving one of the best handling, most unassuming sports cars you could ever find. They're not outrageously fast but if the road is reasonably crooked, you will give the "hot rod crowd" fits and I've found that to be most entertaining!! I've had people stop after blasting away on a straight section and wave me over to ask, "What the hell is that??!" The difference has always been that they may have the brute horsepower to pull away on a straight, but I rarely touch the brakes. I'd always catch them in the corners. That is fun! 😇😁
Great video, really picks out the good points of the 208 GT4. It sounds much sweeter than a 308 GT4 and with the narrower wheels feels lighter on the steering.
great car and as always you have done a great job on the videography
Thank you - another excellent video. Life aim = to be featured!
STOP MAKING ME SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT CARS
Intro reminded me of the Italian Job intro with the Muira driving through the Alps.
Actually, yes, it seems so. Wikipedia cites it as such. Its 1990 cc beats out the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale's 1995 cc and the Fiat 8V's 1996 cc.
A Beautiful Dino
Drivers car , pure passion.
Amazing video. But is there any chance of doing classic American Muscle? Or it it all classic European cars? (Which are still great)
The guy also drives an Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6. It's not just about the brand. I just think perhaps he does find something great in particular about this Ferrari Dino.
By the way, the watches he designed are based on vintage Italian Sports car instruments.
Was a passenger in a Dino 308 GT4 a few days ago :)
I love the yellow one. Awesome car
Thumbs up for looking up the scene he mentions from the Italian Job.
Love the vid but I especially love the part starting@ 4:20. This is what motoring is to me:)
I'm going to rescan my vocabulary after watching this and omit the word "like". Beautiful car and beautiful video otherwise.
Petrolicious, I love your films and this was another great one but do you have something against American cars? I would like to see what you could do with some American classics every now and then.
i drive that road nearly every week :) great car
Wow I recognize these roads! Was this filmed in upstate ny? If it was, you guys were in my neck of the woods. Fantastic nonetheless!
Back at the time the phrase "here ladies snd gentleman ee present to you the future ...." and looks like the design was the way to go. Lotus took ot very seriously presenting the clever Elite Type 75 designed by Oliver Winterbottom who had begun his carreer with Jaguar befor moving to Lotus and who layer penned also the wedge TVR of same period.
I love Bertone designed cars. This Ferrari is in very good condition for being 40 years old. Thanks.
Thanks @ghibli608!
Was that filmed at Storm King mountain in NY?
Great video- cars are made to be driven
He means he doesn't wish he was driving any other car (Ferrari) after being to a Ferrari meeting and seeing a lot of other Ferraris. He's happy with what he has.
!Perfect!
don't listen to him mate your ferrari is one of the best .. it can be used every day and still bring that smile to your face ;)
He’s right. The engine sounds wonderful.
Cool car, where are these roads? It's beautiful.
Well done
Overcrowded cities like New York aren't meant for cars.
+Sebastian m (alpine1600s) Agreed. Meant for pedestrian traffic.
@@Magnero and public transportation.
Neither are they meant for god-awful Ferraris....
@@michaelmeliambro5117 idiot comment.
@@VL1975No more idiotic than ur FACE......
Where can I get one of these 2.0 liter V8 engines? I want to put one in a 1989 Mitsubishi Might Max Pickup.
it's gonna be expensive ...
Willem Oldewage
I just said I want to put a Ferrari engine in a truck I bought for 300 bucks. Do I seem like I'd be bothered with that kind of detail?
You can buy 'em at your local Pep Boys for $1500. They usually have a few in stock.
