The 308 indeed was supposed to have just been the follow on model of Dino, succeeding the far better looking Dino 246. Only the 12 cylinder models were supposed to be Ferrari badged. Then they discovered they had no real new 12 cylinder model to compete near the price range so they violated Enzo's edict.
How about a turbo Range Rover doing it? Or a Hemi Cuda which did it around LeMans?

Twice. And in one year, came in one, two, and three.
The interesting thing is that the 308 chassis was designed originally to take the Columbo V12. No one picked up on that until a Califiornia owner got the bizarre idea to see if a V12 would fit. It did, albeit with some extensive fabrication, but only just-it had to have been designed that way from the beginning.
More bizarre was the 330 P three seater. Rumor has it it was originally designed for a DOHC scratchbuilt broad arrow twelve-thirty years after the Napier Railton and thirty years before a W-12 F1 engine effort recently.
