FERRARI 246 GTS / SPIDER DINO 1972 - Test drive in top gear - GT V6 Engine sound | SCC TV

A car that embodies so much personal Enzo Ferrari history: The story has it that the DINO 246 GTS has an engine that was co-developed by his son Alfredino in the 1950s.

Dino was a marque for mid-engined, rear-drive sports cars produced by Ferrari from 1968 to 1976. The Dino marque was meant to be used for cars with engines that had fewer than 12 cylinders, reserving the Ferrari name for the V-12 and flat 12 models. The Dino name was retired after that point, in favour of conventional Ferrari branding. The Dino brand was an attempt by Ferrari to produce a relatively low-cost sports car.
The Dino models used Ferrari racing naming designation of displacement and cylinder count with two digits for the size of the engine in deciliters and the third digit to represent the number of cylinders, i.e., 246 being a 2.4-litre 6-cylinder and 308 being a 3.0-litre 8-cylinder. Ferrari street models of the time used a three-digit representation of the displacement in cubic centimeters of one of the 12 cylinders, which would have been meaningless in a brand with differing numbers of cylinders.
The Dino 246 was the first Ferrari model produced in high numbers. It is lauded by many for its intrinsic driving qualities and groundbreaking design. In 2004, Sports Car International placed the car at number six on its list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s. Motor Trend Classic placed the 206/246 at number seven in their list of the 10 "Greatest Ferraris of all time".

[@robinstreets1792]

One of my favourite Ferraris, beautiful car

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

Yes, mine too. It shares it's place with the Ferrari Daytona, but these cars really cannot be compared. Regards, Walter

[@ThomasDoubting5]

Oddly it's not actually a Ferrari it's a Fiat

[@alekpap-trailers]

ENZO! UNIQUE MAN! UNIQUE CARS!

Has to be one of the most beautiful looking and sounding cars ever built.

Yes John! She is! The only car I woud buy if I had the money.

[@JustSomeOldGuy]

It's just as alluring as when I saw my first Dino Spider, in 1972.

[@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630]

Fiat dino spider also existed at that time,but is rarely featured in videos here....

It’s exactly what you would expect a little Italian sports car to be,inside and out. Full instrumentation,stick on the floor, drilled spoke steering wheel,low,squat,curvy and fast

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

Yes!

[@martinhevia]

A mindblowing beauty....with its own soul.

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

I agree, Miguel, she really has one!

[@MONYC1957]

I was longing to hear the sound of my boy, and this vid did the trick. had to sell mine some years back, and I still mis him. The most beautiful, elegant, approachable, reliable, wonderful vehicle ever made. The apotheosis of automobile manufacture. It even has a big boot! If you have one, treasure the time you spend with it, and take care of it.

[@EvenbeeldProducties]

Mike Offit I think more of her as a pretty young woman with all those curves!

[@johnforeman634]

You should have kept it. Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. I’ve got a Yellow 92 348 Tb in beautiful condition. I don’t know how many times over the last 16 years I thought “ maybe I should sell it. It’s just sitting there in the garage taking up so much room that I always seem to need for other projects. Then when I drive it I invariably say to myself man I love this car, how the fuck could I even have thought of selling it. I know I’d really miss it.

I love Ferrari and this is a beautiful car so dreamy possibly my favorite car from the 70s I love the Dino and I wish to own one some day.

You have good taste!

Asides the 250 series Ferraris, the Dino Gt is my favourite. I feel so fortunate to have had some rides in one and at full song song. The sounds, and sensations of being in a Dino is a memory cherished. I would love to have a ride again in the Dino sometime. Many years ago I was also fortunate to have a good look around a Fiat Dino coupe, with vague notions of being able to buy it. Sadly it didn't happen.

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

Hey David, totally agree! The Dino is magic!

[@imbluz]

Coolest car ever made.

+imbluz After the Daytona it is the most intense car I have ever driven. This machine really has a soul! Regards, Walter

From an era when Ferrari made tasteful cars.

My dad had one of these back in the 70's before he met my mother. A silver one. He loved that car.

the design of the headlights has certainly inspired the front of fiat punto since 2006 lol and it's is the best rival of the jaguar type e :)

best Ferrari after the Testarossa 57.

[@donaldgarver6594]

I could be wrong but it seems to me Enzo was impartial to this car and that is why the Ferrari name does not appear on the dino Enzo was not in agreement with the mid engine configuration of the dino and refused his name upon it

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

That is quite right, Donald!

[@judassson]

i am only thinking... this would be so cheap to produce today. I dont know why any one doesnt...

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

Probably high costs of development in combination with a small target audience?

It exists, look for JH Classics.

Back in the late 70es/early 80es you could pick up Dinos 206/246 at bargain prices. Too bad I didn't believe in this car rocketing to tons of money in a few years.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime....:-(((
