Talk:Dino (marque)

message: I moved the Dino pic to the GT4 page since it is of a Bertone GT4 and not the more traditional Pininfarina GTB Dino that people normally think of.  Yes, it is a Dino, and yes it is mentioned here.  So it can stay.  I'd love a pic of a Pinin Dino, though! --SFoskett 14:41, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
I propose making this page "Ferrari Dino" instead of "Dino (car)". It immediately removes ambiguity, and also properly places the Dino as a Ferrari model. Although originally intended to be a seperate marque, it simply didn't pan out that way, and I feel it more appropriate to list as I suggest. --196.2.127.9 13:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: New Dino?

message: I think it should be removed: that's a front engined mule for a small GT. We don't even know if under that body there's a Ferrari, but even if it is, it's not a Dino for sure: it's, again, a front engined small GT.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.193.49.191 (talk) 13:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think I'm right in saying that all Dino's left the factory without a door/wing mirror which was a legal requirement for car's in Italy.  The reason for this was that Enzo thought that it spoilted the line of the car.  Not sure if it is worth including in the article? Bjmullan (talk) 23:27, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Door mirrors 

message: Is the name really Tasmania? In the Ultimatecarpage page referenced it's just called the Tas, and in the other reference  I'm not filled with confidence it's not just a translation error as they describe it racing in the "Tasmania Series" instead of Tasman Series. (I suppose it's more than possible they made a mistake when naming it?) A7V2 (talk) 22:56, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I tend to stick to manufacturers rendition of their products: ie Dino 246 Tasmania, other sources can and will use easier names or more common ones like Ferrari Dino etc. YBSOne (talk) 07:17, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

text: Also consider that a name "Tasman" may have been registered and products cannot be named as such, today Ferrari is not using Tour de France name but tdf instead (officialy they never did anyway). YBSOne (talk) 07:20, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

text: There are rare situations when manufacturer makes a mistake like they insist on naming Dino 166P and not as, in my opinon, should be Dino 166 P. This obvious mistake is being copied by others. YBSOne (talk) 07:24, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dino 246 Tasman(ia) 

message: Why not? Fiat Dino    Or else, why not rename this to Ferrari Dino.  And even then, there's an argument for still including the Fiat. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:51, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Dino (automobile) is a Ferrari marque not a model. The article should in fact be named as Dino (marque). YBSOne (talk) 18:17, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Dino was the brand; there were no Ferrari badges on Dinos.  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  So why exclude the Fiat Dino? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:40, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It was named "Fiat Dino" because it used the Dino engine, not because it was a Dino brand car. See here.  Mr.choppers | ✎  22:09, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text:  And a Ferrari 246 Dino has a "manufactured by Ferrari" plate. The cam covers on both are cast 'Dino'.  Now if this was the 'Ferrari Dino' article, then a Fiat isn't a Ferrari. But for Dino (marque), then it should have more mention. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:25, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Again, this article is about a Ferrari manufactured cars under Dino brand. If You need it to include other Dino names, add a "see also" section mentioning Fiat Dino. "Ferrari 246 Dino" is just a common name, as they are specified in every single infobox here. There was no car named "Ferrari 246 Dino" nor Ferrari Dino 246, there was Dino 246 GT ("One of just 1,624 Series E Dino 246 GT constructed between 1971 and 1974 "). That badge is an after-market . Also the "manufactured by Ferrari" plaque is present because this is an US-market car. YBSOne (talk) 15:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

text: A couple points not covered yet, regarding "there were no Ferrari badges on Dinos." The earlier Dino racing cars covered in this article were badged Ferrari (until the 166P). Also keep in mind, later Dino-badged racing cars were still raced by Scuderia Ferrari alongside Ferrari racing cars and developed in-house by the Ferrari works, as were all earlier Ferrari-badged Dino racers. Additionally, the Fiat Dino existed because of a need to homologate Ferrari racing engines. I don't have a clean solution for how these articles should be named and structured, but if this article is to cover racing Dinos alongside roadgoing ones I don't believe we can simply separate Ferrari and Dino by marque as the history and development of the racing cars is more complex than how road cars were branded and marketed.

replies: text:  A modified car with bunch of non-original Ferrari badges is not a reason fo include a Fiat in a (Ferrari) Dino article.
