This reaches car perfection for me. In my dream cost-no-option garage, it definitely has a permanent spot. Thank you David and the good folks at MotoTechnique for making such a wonderful gem.

One of my favorite designs for the exterior of a car.

where to begin.... IMO, the Dino itself is a work of art, until recently a very underrated car. David Lee the consummate gear head, petrol head, car guy, collector.... the man just does it right. To undertake a build of this level was obviously a labor of love, and passion for the hobby and himself, he didn't build it to sell it to make money; to take a car like this to this level was incredible! You really have to study the changes made to it, to really appreciate what has been done. Thank you Mr. Lee for commissioning this build and taking it to an artisan level of build quality, truly a one of a kind handcrafted build! Thank you for sharing with us mere mortals!!

David Lee is a national treasure... perhaps two nations’ national treasure? His collection is incredible, and his passion is infectious. 👏

David Lee is an amazing car collector, and a very prominent figure in Southern California. Thank you for making this video and car, it sounds so amazing!!! Literally nothing else like it!!!

I've always been against modifying classical cars but this one makes me rethink that position.

David Lee had the patience and funds to get it just right but a lot of credit goes to the actual team who crafted the reworked car. Mototechnique based in Surrey, England overcame a lot of challenges and did so without making some bastardized thing. This isn't like the ungodly ugly works from Koenig Specials in 80's and 90's with ruined looks in exchange for crazy horsepower.

I appreciate his enthusiasm and his willingness to share his cars rather than hide them. I am sure there is a bit of a privacy price to pay for it and I for one am thankful he shares. Cheers

OMG that is one of the most beautiful cars ever made Awesome job on the restoration and upgrade well done Bravo

The most beautiful car ever built, made even better. To say I love this is an understatement. I wish that I had the means to purchase one, since apparently David is having multiple examples (25?) built. Thank you David Lee for producing this video.....it’s wonderful to watch.

Im really happy for you man. This is one in lifetime experience for billions of us. Blessings mate!

Love David’s passion for cars - whenever I see him and Jay Leno together it’s like watching a couple of kids playing with hot wheels but they’re using super cars to play with

Love the editing in this video.

Love the clear headlight covers..completes the lines of the car

I saw this car on Jay Leno's Garage, where they went over every detail of the car, thankfully people like David Lee and keeping these cars alive. Thankfully the days of taking the original engine out and replacing it with a Chevy 350 or a Ford 351. The sound of this car is music to the ears. Thank you David.

Fell in love with this beauty when I first saw it on Jay Leno garage... Great job... truly one of a kind... She's beautiful...!!!

I got to see this car at the steve mcqueen show this year and I thought it was a fairly common dino until the second time I walked around. I have to say it looks much better clean, and she sounds amazing. Impeccable build!

Excellent job with the audio, the sound of that engine is magnificent!

Beautiful job. I like David Lee. He was bold enough to try this and he picked out the right team to make it happen. Of course, much credit goes to those that worked out the details and made the actual build happen. Great job by everyone involved!!

I remember daydream shopping for Dinos on eBay when I was 16. They were going for $55k for a driver’s car and $75k for collector condition. The classics don’t get any younger, and there is a limited supply.

I wish I had bought the first Dino I saw for sale which was a nice example for $18K back in 1991. It didn't have the power of this beauty but was still gorgeous to look at.

To me this is the most beautiful car ever made. Now you have made it even better! Wow

I've never been much of a Ferrari lover and British sports cars have always floated my boat rather more than the Italian exotica but the Dino is my favourite Ferrari and what you have done here is tastefully enhanced what I believe was already the finest Ferrari ever made. The design is sublime, the sound is literally the best sounding road car engine I have ever heard (and I drive a TVR Griffith pre-cat V8 renowned for its engine sound). It's a work of art for sure, a masterpiece of auto engineering that makes me want to take every electric car ever made and bury them under the asphalt!! No electric motor will ever have the feel, the emotion, the fury and the passion of what you have done here - be proud and enjoy every mile in it...

Beautifully and perfectly done...thank you!

I first saw this car Leno's garage. Beautiful car and sounds great. Nothing like shifting gears on a mountain road. That's what's all about.

Beautifully designed Dino. The headlights covers look just perfect with the whole car shape, as it should have been made IMO. The wheels make the car look like in business again. And the ITB´s engine sound is amazing

Amazing. Thank you for honoring the legacy and yet highlighting the majesty that was in the original design. So great to see and hear this work of art. Modern cars just don't compare.

Love the car, love David Lee, love this video! Hats off to all!

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing

Very tastefully done, true to the spirit of the Ferrari design heritage. I want one!

Wow.such a beautiful piece.thanks for sharing

David, it's not often the stars align and an existing model is made better by clever substitution of parts. (In this case the V8 engine.) You sir have pulled it off. This particular Dino is now so much better than the original. Even the larger wheels look appropriate. My highest praise...a job well done.

Mmmmm, look at those trumpets through that rear glass. Absolutely beautiful car and that satisfying click of the shifter rowing through the gears! UGHH

I love this car, I've seen David Lee on Jay Leno's Garage many times with his different cars. I really dig the 2.9L V8 swap over those garbage V6s, but I would've definitely have kept the turbos. That being said, I give him alot of credit for going with individual throttle bodies with velocity stacks because it sounds ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. The bodywork, the wheels, the paint, the interior, it's all so beautiful.

Not a fan per say of Italian exotics but the Dino is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. What he's done is what good Hot Rodding is all about. Combining Classic style with modern reliability, drivability and power. 👏 Well done!

I dreamed of doing this to a Dino to make it more powerful and reliable. Now someone has done it and done it right. Your video made me weep a little.
