so far, evo magazine named it their car of the year and top gear gave it the best supercar award... other than that, there's nothing else official

What price point is this Dino supposed to come in at?
If it's anything less than $100,000 it will be a disaster.
A new ferrari at under $100,000 will have many enthusiasts stretchign to meet this car and buy their first 'new" ferrari.
The result will be many people being burned by Ferraris notorious reliability and delivery issues.
When you a gajillionaire, you may be upset by the finnicky nature of your new yet unreliable and not so greatly built Ferrari - and keep yourself busy with one of your other 20 cars... however if you scraped together the pennies to buy the "entry level' F-Car you will be very disappointed by the outrageous cost of services and poor reliability of you great new dream car.
Couple this with a dealer network that is used to customers who don't ever ask the price of repairs and just "pay to play' and you have a recipe for a marketing and image disaster. 
Can you imagine the local Luigi il Mafiosa Ferrari dealership haggling over price and service with a "poor' customer/
It won't happen - this plethora of models from Ferrari will be the beginning of the end of a great sales run.
Ferrari will slip into financial ruin and Porsche will have to bail them out

Well if you want to use a good perspective of how a $100,000 Ferrari will turn out all you have to do is look at the Maserati Gransport. It's all Ferrari for a cheap price, so if you want to speculate on reliability and quality then use that as an example. So in reality they've been building a cheap Ferrari for awhile, and we've just been overlooking the badge.

I think this car may be the Dino, a front engine car with hard top and a price that will not be lower than 120.000 €
The development, made by Ferrari/Maserati, is advanced; in principle it seemed this car had to be a 3th Maserati, but now the program is passed to Ferrari.
