Dino 246 GTS, the genesis of Ferrari Mid Engine greatness: Tim's Enthusiast Garage S4 E8

People like to remark, "it's a Dino, it's not a Ferrari", but drive one and there will be little doubt, not only is it filled with real Ferrari DNA, it might just be one of the best Ferrari of all time. In my opinion one of the most beautiful Pininfarina designs of all time this car would define the shape of and layout of great Ferraris over the decades that would follow. Thanks for taking the time to watch my review of this absolutely glorious 246GTS. This car has been lovingly maintained and is presented in stunning original, not over restored condition. I really like a nice honest cars, they always drive as intended.

You are the man. I took out my 928S4 out on a beautiful sat this weekend. Your video helped clinch the deal. I love this Dino...your channel and videos are so underrated. Thanks for keep sharing your car passion.

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

So glad to hear that you are still enjoying your 928. I promise eventually I have more 928 videos coming. Cheers and thanks so much for your kind words

The most beautiful car ever made and a total work of art! And, the sound

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

It’s on the top 10 no matter who is making the list !

[@DawgPoundBrutus]

second time i've watched this today hahah. Your commentary is perfect!

[@clubdinousa8700]

Really? I thought the Toyota-Lexus comment was more an indication of the driver than the car and a distinct reveal on perspective

[@sierrasautosalon]

Wonderful episode! I’ve always loved the Dino over any other Ferrari. It’s just simply beautiful. ❤

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

It’s probably my fav mid engine road car of all time, particularly from this era. Obvi I have a thing for guigiaro/ esprit , but when curves are involved this Pininfarina design is tops imho

[@TheScudabear1]

Really enjoyed that Tim...possibly your best video to date👍

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

Really appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching! Next up : 1990 ZR1

The day i get mine i will have modern everything put on .

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

What do you mean modern everything ?

[@frozencarguy6274]

Looks like a tight fit, but amazingly beautiful.

At 6’2” and 260 I’m a lot of gent. I hear you 🤣

I love this car, I’d have the Fiat Dino 2400 Coupe but this is ok too. :) I do believe the rims of both Fiat & Ferrari are Cromodora’s tho?

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

They were actually offered with wheels by both manufacturers. I believe these are the chromodoras though . I’m going to be with the car on Thursday so I will check the stamping . After I said that I wanted to check and just never got around to it. Both manufacturers were quite ubiquitous in this era. This style is very campagnolo but ironically I think it’s the multi piece that they made for this car

[@pereldh5741]

@@TimsEnthusiastGarage Ok! These magnesium Cromodora’s are such an iconic design to me, they were also on the Fiat Dino and Fiat 124 Coupe/Spider and the sportsedan 125 Special. Weight: approx. zero. 😎 Also on Bmw E9 models of the time, of course.

4:20, no seat belt?

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

It is equipped with lap belts but they were an option in this era. I’m keeping it period correct😉

[@Grenadieros]

@@TimsEnthusiastGarage : If i remember correct the early Corvette models had the same belt style, OK then.

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

@@Grenadieros I do appreciate both your concern, and the pass ;)
