For Italian tax reasons, a less powerful version of the 308 GT4 was presented the same year in Turin: the Dino 208 GT4. It went on sale in 1975 on the Italian market alone. Displacement was increased to 1991 cm3 (Tipo F106 C engine with 66.8 mm bore) and with the use of smaller carburettors (Weber 34 DCNF) power fell to 170 bhp. This was the smallest V8 engine to be developed in series production, but performance took a step backwards to reflect the drop in power. Externally, the four tailpipes have been replaced by a single one, which is the only visible difference.
