The ""quattrovalvole"" part of the name referred to 4 valves per cylinder giving the car increased horsepower, higher refinement and overall performance than the earlier cars. When the Ferrari 308 was introduced in 1975 there was much fanfare around the car as it was highly regarded as a worthy successor of the much loved Dino 246 and its styling is still considered one of the most beautiful cars ever built.

Road testers and enthusiasts alike hailed the refined performance the car had to offer. Paul Frere summed it up as he began his 1976 Road and Track review ""Dino 246 fans, cheer up!
