In a thought-provoking post, WatchProSite's amanico invites readers to reflect on the golden era of automotive design, specifically the iconic Ferrari 246 Dino and Aston Martin DBS. He challenges the community to identify modern-day equivalents that capture the same spirit and 'flavor' in an increasingly electric automotive landscape. This discussion explores whether contemporary vehicles can truly embody the unique charm of these classic machines.

Two thoughts: The electric kingdom is far from having the same flavor. 

If you had to guess which are the equivalent of the Ferrari 246 Dino and Aston Martin DBS to day, which ones would they be? 

For the Dino, I have a ( small ) idea. For the DBS? 

Best,

Nicolas

I’ll have to concur with our Cpt. concerning the DBS. As for the Dino goes, an Alpine has somehow the same spirit.

Loved this series. Shame the DBS was the straight 6. The V8 came quite soon after.
