Ferrari 246 Dino - The first of the Ferrari V6.

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Ferrari 246 GTS Dino is one of the last of the Enzo Era Ferraris built and remains and icon in the classic car world to this day. The Ferrari Dino has a timeless curvy body style that was revolutionary for its time, along with a mid engine lay out which was a first for Ferrari at the time. There has always been a bit of a controversy around the Ferrari Dino, seeing as some people never considered it to be a Ferrari at all. In this video I will go into detail on the back story of the Dino, and how the car was named after Enzo Ferrari's son, Alfredino, who died of MS at the young age of 24. I also give details on this exact car and its wonderful history, documented from the time the Dino was imported from Italy to the US through Chinetti Motors in 1974. The Ferrari Dino is a amazing piece of automotive history, and this US model car is a stunning example.

    Thank you for this great presentation including historic lessons. Enzo Ferrari visited the grave of his son Dino every day before he started to work. Dino was named after Enzo‘s elder brother, who was always admired by Enzo, but died young, too. The V6 engines, which Dino developed, were intended to have Ferraris for new racing regulations, which they additionally wanted to broaden with street cars. The Dino shows the soul of Enzo better than any other Ferrari, and that‘s very propably the reason for it‘s name: Dino.

    I think that colour (which looks like grigio ferro metallizzatto, aka steel grey metallic) really suits the Dinos, but they are cars that look good in sober or bright colours. But I think I'd swap out that incongruous radio for a retro-mod one that looks the part but actually works like a modern one with blue tooth etc, although the real music will always come from just behind you!

    Certainly, a most beautiful car. But competing a Porsche? A 911? The 911 was and still is for many people an everyday car. And - at least in those times back then (mid 1960ies to mid 1970ies) Porsches competed with Renault Alpine 1600 and Minis at the Rally Monte Carlo. I'm sure, you could see Dinos in front of the casino, but not on a friday morning in late January coming over from a quick tour across the Col de Turini... . Actually, the Dino engine did, at least 4 times as winner, but then inside his step-brother that was a real sports car- the Lancia Stratos.

    I have heard the story that the Dino is the only Ferrari in history not to wear a Ferrari badge. I think it was intended to be either a Fiat or Lancia but the deal fell through so Ferrari kept it for themselves. Kind of similar as to how the Porsche 924 was designed to be a Volkswagen but VW declined at the 11th hour. I would love to see you do a video on the 288 GTO if one ever finds its way into your garage.

A VERY unique inline 6 having desdemonic OHC valves (no valve springs) and mechanical direct fuel injection and "inside-out" firing order with twin counter-balancing shafts for the 22,000+ RPM red-line and unified transaxle (Franz-Gertag) with full-floating independent rear axles. The tiny engine was conservatively rated at 306 HP and 285 Ft/Lbs of torque thru 6 32mm Dell Orto carbs. It won so many Gran Prix in the early 50's it was banned.
