The Dino 246 was the first rear-engine road-going Ferrari (evolution of the 206) built between 1969 and 1973. Its model number consisted of the first two digits indicating the displacement and the third indicating the number of cylinders. It was produced in 2 versions, coupe (GT) and spyder (GTS) being very successful. The body was created by Pininfarina designer Aldo Brovarone and the engine was derived from the last sports powerplant designed by Dino Ferrari, who died in 1956. It was a 6-cylinder 65° transverse V-cylinder, the first engine of its kind mounted on a vehicle from the Maranello-based company, which had, until then, always preferred 12-cylinder powerplants. For this fact it was also called a “baby” Ferrari, but its performance made many other models with more fractionated engines envious, and the public decreed its success with a production of more than 3,500 units, important numbers for that period.
