Yes, and no.............
Ferrari produced the Dino but wouldn't badge it with the prancing horse logo; proper Ferrari's had 12 cyl engines at the time.
Even the 308GT4 didn't receive recognition as a Ferrari until its' third year of production - when it finally came off the assembly line adorned with the deserved "cavallino rampante" emblems.
The Fiat Dino's were sweet cars in concept. Too bad they had all the good and bad features normally associated with both marques.
