It used the 2.0 L engine from the 206 SP mounted transversely between the rear wheels.
The same V6 engine was handed off to Lancia for use in its WRC-champ Stratos in the early 1970s, but Ferrari's Dino had moved on to 8 cylinders.

Thus, when the engine was eventually built in 1957, Enzo Ferrari dedicated the type, and its V-8 derivatives, to the memory of his son, and they became known as Dino engines.
The first Ferrari sports racing car to be fitted with a V-6 Dino engine was a 2.0 liter quad cam model built on chassis s/n 0740 in 1958, followed by a 2.9 liter variant on chassis s/n 0746, a month later.
The next phase in the Dino engined sports racing car story was in March of 1959, when a single cam per bank 2.0 liter, 60 degree version of the V-6 engine was fitted into what is believed was the original chassis s/n 0740.

Ferrari's little jewel of the late sixties and early seventies, said to be the prettiest car that Ferrari ever produced.
The Dino was named after Commendatore Ferrari's deceased son, it was Ferrari's first mid-engined car, and the first car to be produced by Ferrari in any significant numbers.
It is a two owner car, registered with the Ferrari Owners Club, that has been fastidiously maintained and prepared by experts, and is available of course, as a classic Italian thoroughbred should be, in Rosso red and with left-hand drive.

 Ferrari Dino
Alfredino Ferrari, the only son of Enzo Ferrari, suggested his father to develop a V6 racing engine for Formula 2 in the early 60s.
This engine was actually produced by Fiat and shared with Fiat Dino (also called Dino because of the engine), not because it would be cheaper, but because Ferrari needed the additional volume to meet the minimum 500 units required by FIA homologation.
Naturally, the little Dino was not as fast as other V12 Ferraris, but it had a magnificent chassis, with beautiful balance, responsive steering and easily modulated throttle steer.

 FIAT Dino Spyder Motor
Ferrari's Dino V-six engine dating from the mid-1950s was ideal for the job, but the rules stipulated a 500-off, production-based block, homologation rules.
As Ferrari at the time was building only 700 cars a year, this would mean virtually doubling production in just one year, and the company simply had to look to outside help.
The younger Ferrari was indeed an engineer and possibly proposed the idea of making the V6, but it was more likely the legendary engine designer Vittorio Jano who was responsible for the actual design, but it was turned into a viable production road-car engine by Aurelio Lampredi, a one-time Ferrari employee.

 Dino GT4 Register
With their Dino 206 and 246 GT's, Ferrari had successfully penetrated the market for smaller capacity supercars, a niche almost totally dominated by Porsche up until that point.
Indeed, the GT4 was never intended to be a replacement for the Dino 246 (that car was the 308 GTB of 1975), so many of the unfair taints this model has received having so often been incorrectly preoccupied with this idea.
This all new engine was the first V8 used in a series production Ferrari and it came as no surprise that the origins of the Tipo F106 AL motor lay in a certain 4.4-litre, Tipo 251 V12, as used in the 365 GTB/4 Daytona of 1968.

Ferrari is preparing a new entry-level model that would compete with the Porsche 911 in both performance and price, and could even see the Dino name reintroduced.
Ferrari is adamantly denying any such model, but insiders from parent company Fiat have mentioned that the car is in development and will be tied closely with the upcoming Maserati GT Coupe.
As mentioned, the rear-drive Dino will share much in common with the new Maserati GT Coupe, which in turn is based on the current Maserati Quattroporte sedan.

It’s difficult to imagine a better example of the Radiocafe ethos; the Dino is one of the most classy of classics, a truly superb supercar, that appeals to all generations and to both sexes.
However, even the most hardened of the Tifosi (Ferrari’s disturbingly loyal army of fans) would be hard pressed to say that they prefer the design of a modern Ferrari to the delicacy of the Dino.
Whilst Ferraris of recent years have been memorably compared to peculiarly aerodynamic tomatoes, the Dino is, simply, beautiful (and beautifully simple).
