Ferrari_Dino-2009The Dino is on, the Dino is off, the Dino is on; how many posts have you read about Ferrari’s hypothetical plans for reviving the Dino nameplate in the near future? Certainly more times than you can handle. So the hell with Ferrari! A Portuguese designer named Ernesto Freitas decided to take action and build a real-life size prototype of a future Ferrari Dino without any Ferrari involvement at all! We don’t have all the details on our hands yet, but we’ve contacted Ernesto and we hope he’ll be able to answer all our questions soon enough. So for the time being, follow the jump and check out the current image gallery. -Click "Read More..." below to check out the gallery

We thank our friend Vincent from Autoblog.nl for the tip!

    that car its called the Vinci GT... its a car that it is still in development and might have the lotus elise chassis and a engine with 192hp, there will be another model (witch the name i dont remember) but will have the chassis from the corvette and the engine producing 480HP, this models when finished will be limited and will cost in Portugal around 300000€. the sales should start in 2009

    for me that i'm portuguese and i've read some articles of the car... it will have a good construction because they are very focused on that but the engine sound is stupidly bad and i'm not quite sure about the handling...

    i'll try to keep you in touch with the project

    Just a little correction: this one is the Vinci Sport. Vinci GT is the one based on the Corvette's chassis. The GT is almost ready to be produced.
