One thing you have to love about YouTube, it essentially democratized the whole video/moviemaking business. Not to mention other novel inventions but we're just trying to skim here, not write a history book.

When it comes to a properly good automotive channel, few do it better than Petrolicious.

This week the girls and boys over there tagged along with the owner of a Ferrari 208 GT4, which I didn't even know existed to be honest. I knew of the 308s and 328s but this whole 208 thing eluded me.

The story goes like so. In Italy at the time of the vehicle's creation there was a tax on  vehicles with engines larger than 2.0-liters. Ferrari made the move to bring the vehicle down from 3.0-liters to two just to avoid the fee.

Of course that doesn't stop one owner — a New Yorker, huzzuh! — from enjoying his not-so-spritely 208. Watch and listen to Bradley Price talk about one of the loves of his life.


The Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 is a unique car. Overshadowed by its bigger brother, the 308 GT4, the 208 was originally created to skirt under the Italian tax levied on engines above two liters. What the 208 GT4 lacks in displacement it makes up for in sound and style. For Bradley Price, designer and owner of Autodromo, the opportunity to acquire a practical "super car" of the '70s with its famous wedge styling was too hard to ignore. After a year of ownership, Bradley can consistently be found escaping the city and revving the sweet-sounding V8 along the roads and hills of New York.
