Driving The 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT - The Italian V6 You NEED to Hear (POV Binaural Audio)

[@TedwardDrives]

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.

Alfredo gave the best car ever Made by humans! Many cars copy that piece of art today. Just watch.

[@AIRDRAC]

Variations of the Dino engine design was also used all the way up to, and including the F360! (it was also used in legends such as the F40 and 288 GTO)

[@RyanRoadReaper]

I imagine all those "that ain't a real Ferrari!" folks back in the day are kicking themselves in the family jewels for not picking these up when they depreciated

[@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

[@phil_thíazho]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

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

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 best friend had a brand new one in 1970? Removable roof and all the bells and whistles. The smell of the leather interior you can only imagine!!! Ran like a top. No need to need to race the engine. Thanks for the memories. They said it needed 12 cyl to be a Ferrari.

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 !

In the early sevetnies I drove one. The 6 cylinder comes originally fro FIAT (2600). The car was not spectcular fast, but handy in town as well on the highway (according to Dutch conditions). I paid - converted to the Euro - little less than 5000,-
