Unveiled in 1969, the Dino 246 GT (and its Spyder counterpart) marked Ferrari’s entry into more accessible luxury. Powered by a 2.4-liter V6 (192 hp)—a departure from Ferrari’s traditional V12—the mid-engine layout delivered balanced handling, with a 0-60 mph sprint in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph. Pininfarina’s design combined timeless elegance with subtle aggression: a long nose, fastback silhouette, and iconic quad taillights. The interior featured leather upholstery and a driver-focused dashboard, blending sportiness with comfort.

Enzo’s decision to brand the model as "Dino" stemmed from two factors: Dino had contributed to V6 engine development, and the sub-brand aimed to differentiate lower-displacement models from flagship Ferraris. Despite its humble badging, the 246 GT became a design and engineering benchmark, influencing future mid-engine Ferraris like the 308. Today, it’s revered as a symbol of understated excellence—proving that a model’s legacy transcends its badge. With only 2,295 units produced, the Dino 246 GT remains a coveted classic, a fitting tribute to the son who inspired Enzo to create something truly timeless.
