Description
The Dino, named in honour of Enzo Ferrari’s son, was a brand for V6 engined Ferraris and the project that Alfredo ‘Dino’ Ferrari worked on before he died tragically of muscular dystrophy at just 24 years old.
In order to homologate Ferrari’s Formula Two entry in 1966, the FIA requested that 500 production cars were produced using the same V6 unit as the race car.
The Fiat Dino was born using the two-litre V6 Ferrari unit which was later used in the early 206GT versions of the Dino.
Ferrari used the mid-engined configuration that was working well for them in sports car racing for the new Dino and the prototype 206S was shown at the 1966 Turin show.
The car drew a positive response and Ferrari put the car into production, making it the first mid-engined production Ferrari.
A 2.4 litre version on a longer wheelbase, the 246GT, replaced the Dino 206 in late 1969.
The beauty of a mid-engined sports car is the handling, as the improved centre of gravity lends itself to better road hold...
