Dino styling was equally predictive of future Ferraris, especially the "flying buttress" roofline that would later appear on the flat-12 Berlinetta Boxer and V8-powered 308.
Still, neither Ferrari nor PF had achieved their high success by standing still, and the obvious success of the "family" concept guaranteed a new successor model.
