What's your favorite Dino? Be sure to share these sounds with a friend

[@nirfz]

Triceratops i think 🤔😉 . . . Jokes aside, the 204 and the 246 both over the 308!

[@bentennyson2398]

The 308gtb/4

[@ThePilotGear]

can you imagine if Ferrari did something oldschool and built a naturally aspirated V6 bolted to a 6-speed manual? edit : ok. so I actually find it really kind of odd how we all collectively lust over these old classics for their tangibility, tactility, that mechanical manual shift lever, the effort, the challenge, the sound, etc. We all love simplicity, lightweight fun, tossable sports cars. And yet, sports car manufacturers, ie Ferrari, are not at all delivering anything remotely close. Hell I used to have a big Lamborghini Countach poster in my bedroom as a kid, but I know 100% sure my son won't give a flying f*ck about anything Ferrari makes now; none of them are desirable. ...am I the only one feeling this way?

[@ryanthefanguy9060]

[@edalder2000]

"I never thought a son could leave his father a legacy. but my son did." Enzo Ferrari on his son Dino. Enzo visited his son's grave every day and never truly stopped mourning. The Dino, and the direction it gave Ferrari, is a great legacy.

[@lakkadakka]

“Not a Ferrari” Enzo named it in honor of his own son that died young. Not sure how much more Ferrari you could be.

[@93455Driver]

@@twgood5882Was a great episode.

[@landhopper4296]

Enzo had a shrine to Dino in his office and couldn’t bear to leave the factory after Dino died. He was the first to see Dino’s shrine in the morning and the last to see it at night. The V6 was Dino’s project and Enzo immortalised his son with this beautiful car. It couldn’t get any closer to Enzo’s heart than this. It couldn’t be more Ferrari, as you say.

[@Dejan-gz6vz]

I was in both Ferrari museum, but Dino 246 is for me the most beautiful Ferrari.

[@PabloPerez-ed9gp]

True🙂

[@clownworld-honk410]

The Bond group seems to have an amazing car collection. Ironically, the Dino was one of the better Ferraris of that era despite the Ferrari snobs turning their noses up at it. Imo

[@h0tpotatoes]

I think history shows that this is 100% a purebred Ferrari. Sure, it was taboo for them to not use the V12, but it still had the grunty engine and the racing prowess through the Lancia Stratos. Oh yeah, and it had trunk space. Truly a testament to Ferrari’s excellence.

[@Mike-rk8px]

The car that replaced the Dino was the 308 GT4. It wasn’t as beautiful, but the experience behind the wheel was almost exactly the same: excellent handling, tactile steering feel, excellent gated shifter, the engine sounded the same. It also had 4 seats and two good sized trunks. It’s considerably cheaper than a Dino 206 or 246, but if you want an incredible driving experience, it’s a fantastic car to drive. Some people thought the 308 GT4 was ugly, but when you see it in person it’s actually looks fantastic.

[@pashakdescilly7517]

@@Mike-rk8px Fun fact - the Dino 308 GT4 is also 'not a Ferrari'. Its Bertone body is elegant as you say, just not what Ferraristi expect a Ferrari to look like. Those rear seats are pretty tiny. The wheelbase was shortened just a little (by 210mm) for the Farina bodied 308 GTB.

[@TedwardDrives]

It was always false..but unfortunately if enough dummies believe something and scream it loud enough the truth gets altered.

[@MrPhilipLewis]

The engines, for the 246 were in fact built in Maranello at the Ferrari factory. The idea that were built at FIAT is a long running falsehood. There are pictures, so it's not in doubt@@TedwardDrives

[@Surestick88]

The sound of that engine on the overrun is perfection. The little crackles from the exhaust that you get with a free flowing exhaust and carbs are subtle, almost like the engine is muttering to itself.

[@FergusPol]

The popping on cruise and deceleration means the engine is running weak. Either an air leak or the jetting too small - Either way it needs sorting.

[@gryphon123456]

The sound on this car is so intoxicating! It just sounds so legit. Much better than all the fake pumped in sounds from cars today. 😄

[@kevmagill5163]

My neighbors had a pale yellow 246 and I was in love with that car. I would make my way over there anytime Mr. Geigler was outside washing it. He drove me in it a few times and it was the fastest I'd ever been in a car for many years. This beautiful car will always be my dream car. Great video Tedward!

[@verdict1163]

This seems like one of the best analog driving experiences.

[@GadgetyMV]

Love that V6, the cracks, pops, and whine, ah, what a sound, and then the sight of those tapping thumbs. Thank you for posting this.

[@johnsmith-eq1zc]

I remember me and my dad going to the Ferrari dealership and they had one in the showroom. Fortunately someone took it out for a test drive while we were there. Sticker price on it was approx. $16k. I many times over the years said to my dad, "should have bought it" as the prices escalated continuously. Has always been one of my favorites.

[@fl00rb0y]

hi tedward, just want to say thanks, ur vids got me into appreciating and getting into cars !

[@TedwardDrives]

Thank you! That means a lot

[@kahmed7328]

OMG I never knew the Dino sounded this good! I drove a Ferrari F12 the other day and I swear it didn’t sound this good. The F12 barely had any induction sound it was all exhaust.

[@Shwnm1490]

I have never driven a f12 but this video should convince you that it has induction noise, only when driven hard. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3a0d4uMqpmDm6c

[@jamesaron1967]

Well, with an aftermarket upgrade the F12 has one of the best Ferrari exhaust notes *of all time,* and ranks very high among _all_ road cars.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYTOqYB4fLCBhtE&pp=ygUbZmVycmFyaSBmMTIgbm92aXRlYyBuLWxhcmdv

The typical and most classic Ferrari SOUND ! I remember seeing often this model in the hills of central Italy ‘s countryside when I was a kid in the 1970s , usually painted in red or yellow and running fast , passing all cars around !

[@longbeachcarguy]

Oh my! Gorgeous. Thxs so much for this video! Dino 246, Daytona, 308, 400, 512…those were the best Ferrari years design wise. I’d take a 246 any day against a F8 or a any modern Ferrari. Amazing.

My absolute favourite V6 sound and an absolut dream of mine. A 246 GTS was a film car for a quite unknown TV series called „the persuaders“ in which Tony Curtis drove it. The series was shot around the French Riviera which suited that car absolutely perfectly. Sadly they are unobtainable like most Ferraris for the majority of us.

I think the a pretty important reason for a transverse mounted engine is for handling. It keeps the engine weight closer to the center of the car.

this is still my favourite video of yours and I dont know why, the ferrari V6 sings with a lot of life

[@Aleiza_49]

That V6 makes beautiful music, omg 😭👌

[@DNHarris]

I think Dinos are real Ferraris. You should too. Here is the history behind the sub-brand from what I have read, most from a coffee-table sized book on Ferrari I bought back in the 90s. Classic street Ferraris were all front-engine V12. Enzo knew his customer well. His engineer son, Alfredo, was designing smaller V6 and V8 in the early- to mid-50s for Scuderia Ferrari. Enzo maintained that his customers would prefer the traditional GT format with a long hood and large V12 engine. Things continued until rival Lamborghini fascinated the world with its mid-engine Miura. Let us not forget Lamborghini was a Ferrari customer whose feedback was rebuffed by the old man, setting him on the path to switch from farm tractors to street cars, ushering in an era of rival Italian sports cars. Ferrari gave the green-light to launch a less expensive model, using the smaller, lightweight engine designed by his late son, who died from muscular dystrophy in 1956. Staying true to his idea that Ferrari should remain the pinnacle of Italian design, he chose Dino, his late son's nickname, as the brand. It would allow him to position the brand as its own, allowing it to compete with the Porsche 911 in price and as a target market. Thus Dino was designed not to compete with Lamborghini but rather Porsche as an entry-level Ferrari, perhaps how a quartz-based Tudor watch is considered a distinct sub-brand of Rolex. Neither Dino nor Tudor is inferior in quality, but rather of different design targeted toward a different, perhaps entry-level connoisseur.

[@craigyirush3492]

Well said. And the engine was used in F2.

[@craigyirush3492]
