Ever since the 70s, Ferrari had always stuck to its guns and offered all of its vehicles with massive V8 and V12 engines. However, that is likely about to change with the company's new 2018 Ferrari Dino sports car. The alleged new offering will reportedly pay homage to the company's only V6 engine vehicle lineup that was released between 1968 to 1976, the Ferrari Dino.

 The Prancing Horse's Dino brand was previously only reserved for vehicles that sported engines with less than 12 cylinders. The brand also resulted in some of the most iconic vehicles from Ferrari, including the Ferrari Dino 246 GTS sports car.

If the latest reports are any indication, it could be possible that Ferrari would be reviving the brand in order to bring to the market a new breed of Ferrari sports cars. The new vehicles would be able to take advantage of newer engine technologies, negating the need for more cylinders. This would in turn reduce weight and increase the overall efficiency of the vehicles.

Talks about a new V6-powered 2018 Ferrari Dino sports car started when the Sergio Marchionne officially confirmed in 2015 that the company was indeed planning to release a V6-powered Ferrari in the near future, as per a report from Auto World News. The only V6-powered cars in the company's lineup, aside from the V6 engines it developers for F1 racing, was of course the Dino, which inevitable resulted in rumors of the brands revival.

Several months later, spy photos of two 488 GTOs were spotted going around the Nurburgring. The camouflaged photos themselves were not the most interesting part however, as those who were able to see the vehicles apparently reported a different sound from the vehicles altogether.

According to Digest Cars, the sounds that were emanating from the two vehicles were not of those made by a V8 engine. Additionally, the exhaust on the 488 GTOs were non-existent and were instead replaced by two holes at the back of the vehicles. This has led some to believe that new V6 engines may have been tested using the GTO mules.
