'''Dino''' ({{IPA|it|ˈdiːno|lang}}) was a marque best known for [[MR layout|mid-engined, rear-drive]] [[sports car]]s produced by [[Ferrari]] from 1957 to 1976. The marque came into existence in late 1956 with a front-engined Formula Two racer powered by a brand new ''[[Ferrari Dino engine|Dino]]'' V6 engine. The name Dino was used for some models with engines smaller than 12 cylinders, it was an attempt by the company to offer a relatively low-cost sports car. The Ferrari name remained reserved for its premium [[V12 engine|V12]] and [[flat-12]] models until 1976, when "Dino" was retired in favour of full Ferrari branding.

==History==

The name Dino honors Ferrari founder [[Enzo Ferrari]]'s late son, [[Alfredo Ferrari|Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari]], credited with designing the [[V6 engine|V6]] engine used in the car.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/ongoing-heritage/company/history/history-of-enzo/|title=History of Enzo|website=auto.ferrari.com|access-date=5 October 2019}}</ref> Along with engineer [[Vittorio Jano]], Alfredo persuaded his father to produce a line of racing cars in the 1950s with V6 and V8 engines. The ''Dino'' script that adorns the badge and cylinder head covers was based on Alfredo's own signature. The Dino models used Ferrari naming convention of displacement and cylinder count with two digits for the size of the engine in decilitres 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.

The first race car to ever bear the Dino marque badge was the 1957 '''Dino 156 F2''' single seater intended for the [[Formula 2]] series. It was powered by an all-new, front-mounted, 65° ''[[Ferrari Dino engine|Dino]]'' V6 co-designed by [[Vittorio Jano]] and named in memory of Enzo Ferrari's late son, [[Alfredo Ferrari|Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari]].
The new [[V6 engine]], first built and tested in 1956, had to adhere to 1.5 litre, Formula 2 regulations.<ref>{{cite book|last=Acerbi|first=Leonardo|year=2012|title=Ferrari: All The Cars|publisher=Haynes Publishing|pages=112–113| isbn=978-1-84425-581-8}}</ref>

Total capacity was {{convert|1489.35|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}} (bore of 70&nbsp;mm and stroke of 64.5&nbsp;mm) and power output was {{convert|180|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 9000 rpm with a 10:1 compression ratio. The fuel system consisted of three [[Weber carburetor|Weber]] 38DCN carburettors and used regular fuel. The valvetrain was of a twin overhead camshafts per bank type with two valves per cylinder and single spark plugs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://formula1.ferrari.com/en/dino-156-f2/|title=Dino 156 F2|website=formula1.ferrari.com|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref>

As per the naming convention, the 1.5-litre, 6-cylinder car was named 156 and made its debut at the [[Grand Prix of Naples|Naples Grand Prix]] in 1957. The chassis was made of steel tubes with independent front suspension, a [[de Dion tube|de Dion]] rear axle, and [[Houdaille Industries|Houdaille shock absorber]]s. Only one example was produced: s/n 0011. Its drivers included [[Luigi Musso]], [[Maurice Trintignant]], and [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/4148/Ferrari-156-F2-Dino.html|title=1957 Ferrari 156 F2 Dino|website=ultimatecarpage.com|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref>

Musso managed to score third place at the time of its debut at the Naples GP and Maurice Trintignant won the Coupe de Vitesse.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/Formula/0011.156.57.htm|title=Dino 156 Formula 2 s/n 0011|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref> Musso later took two second-place finishes at the Modena GP (in both heats).

The engine was upgraded to 1860 cc in 1957 (later 2195 cc), to {{convert|2417.33|cc|L cuin|1|abbr=on}} 85 x 71&nbsp;mm {{convert|280|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 8500 rpm in 1958 for [[Formula One]] specification {and renamed [[Ferrari 246 F1]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://formula1.ferrari.com/en/246-f1/|title=Ferrari 246 F1|website=formula1.ferrari.com|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref> ) and {{convert|2474|cc|L cuin|1|abbr=on}} {{convert|290|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} in 1959.  In 1960 the engine was updated with a lower V-degree (65º>60º), a shorter stroke {73 x 58.8&nbsp;mm for 1476.6 cc), and a single overhead camshaft.

A change in Formula One rules for the 1966 season brought changes to Formula 2 as well. New homologation requirements meant that at least 500 production units of the same engine block were to be produced. Ferrari turned to [[Fiat]] to produce a more affordable sports car for this purpose.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z11143/ferrari-dino-166-f2.aspx|title=Ferrari Dino 166 F2|website=conceptcarz.com|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref> Fiat produced two models with the ''Dino'' engine in coupé and spider form under the name [[Fiat Dino]]. For the 1967 European Championship season Ferrari was able to field a new car, the '''Dino 166 F2''', with a rear-mounted, longitudinal 65° ''[[Ferrari Dino engine|Dino]]'' V6 engine. The car made its debut at the Racing Car Show in Turin in February 1967.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/895/Ferrari-Dino-166-F2.html|title=Ferrari Dino 166 F2|website=ultimatecarpage.com|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref>

====Specifications====
The new powerplant had {{convert|1596.25|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}} of total capacity with a bore of 86&nbsp;mm and a very short stroke at only 45.8&nbsp;mm with a Heron type 3 valve head. A single split overhead camshaft per bank actuated three valves per cylinder: two inlet directly by the camshaft and one exhaust through a rocker. In 1968, the cylinder measures changed to 79.5 x 53.5&nbsp;mm ({{convert|1593.4|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}}) with an 11:1 compression ratio.
In 1969, the power grew from {{convert|200|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 10,000 rpm to {{convert|232|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 11,000 rpm. Fuel feed was by [[Lucas Industries|Lucas]] indirect injection and ignition by [[Magneti Marelli]] transistorized twin-plugs, later changed to a single ignition.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://formula1.ferrari.com/en/dino-166-f2/|title=Dino 166 F2|website=formula1.ferrari.com|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref>
The chassis was a semi-monocoque with all-independent suspension and disc brakes. Seven cars were built, of which three were later converted for the Tasman race series with engines enlarged to 2.4 litres.<ref>{{cite book|last=Acerbi|first=Leonardo|year=2012|title=Ferrari: All The Cars|publisher=Haynes Publishing|pages=192–193| isbn=978-1-84425-581-8}}</ref>

====Racing====
The cars were raced by [[Ernesto Brambilla]], [[Chris Amon]], [[Andrea de Adamich]], and [[Derek Bell (racing driver)|Derek Bell]]. Their first F2 wins were the 1968 Hockenheim race and later the GP Roma at [[Vallelunga Circuit|Vallelunga]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/Formula/0004.Dino.166F2.htm|title=Dino 166 F2 s/n 0004|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=1 September 2019}}</ref>

For the 1968 season of Formula One, Ferrari had returned to the V12 engined cars. This created a need to pursue other racing venues for their already existing projects. The [[Tasman Series]] for cars up to 2500 cc was just that venue and the '''Dino 246 Tasmania''' (sometimes referred to as the Ferrari 246T) was just such a car, converted from the Dino 166 Formula 2 basis with the engine enlarged to 2.4 L to meet the requirements without overstretching the engine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/622/Ferrari-Dino-246-Tasman.html|title=Ferrari Dino 246 Tasman|website=ultimatecarpage.com|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref>

By [[1969 Tasman Series|1969]], the car had been given a rear wing and two smaller wings protruding from the front of the bodywork (as seen in the picture of [[Chris Amon]] on his way to winning the [[1969 Australian Grand Prix|1969]] [[Australian Grand Prix]]). After having already won the series, At the 7th and final round at [[Sandown Raceway|Sandown]] in [[Melbourne]], Amon told reporter Max Stahl that while the wings did help the cars, he would rather that they were done away with altogether.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUXVLE88oEc 1969 TASMAN SERIES Highlights CHRIS AMON]</ref>

====Specifications====
The new displacement of {{convert|2404.74|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}} was achieved thanks to {{convert|90 by 63|mm|1|abbr=on}} of bore and stroke. Internal dimensions were identical to that of the [[Ferrari 246 F1-66|246 F1-66]]. At an 11.5:1 compression ratio, power output was a healthy {{cvt|285|bhp|kW PS|0}} at 8,900 rpm. Already standard on 65° ''[[Ferrari Dino engine|Dino]]'' V6 twin overhead camshafts per bank, and a novelty: four valves per cylinder. The same as its predecessor, the chassis was a semi-monocoque with all-independent suspension and disc brakes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://formula1.ferrari.com/en/dino-246-tasmania/|title=Dino 246 Tasmania|website=formula1.ferrari.com|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref>

In Tasman Series racing, other engines that the Dino V6 was generally up against were the {{cvt|290|bhp|kW PS|0}} Australian made [[Repco V8]], the Tasman variant of the [[Cosworth DFV]], the ~{{cvt|360|bhp|kW PS|0}} [[Cosworth DFW]], a sprint variant of the {{cvt|315|bhp|kW PS|0}} [[Alfa Romeo]] ''Tipo 33'' V8 used in the [[Alfa Romeo Tipo 33|Alfa Romeo T33/2 Daytona 2.5 Litre]] [[World Sportscar Championship|endurance racing]] [[Sports car racing|sports car]], the {{cvt|260|bhp|kW PS|0}}, 2.1L version of the [[BRM V8 engine|V8 BRM]], the older [[Coventry Climax]] FPF and FMWV engines and the {{cvt|200|bhp|kW PS|0}}, 1.6L [[Cosworth FVA]].

====Racing====
Only three cars were made and raced with success between 1968 and 1971, mainly in hands of [[Chris Amon]] and [[Graeme Lawrence]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://magazine.ferrari.com/en/cars/2018/06/26/news/tasman_ferrari_dino_246_is_50-43132/|title=Tasman Ferrari Dino 246 is 50|website=magazine.ferrari.com|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref> The Tasman Series was particularly suited for the Dino Tasmania. Chris Amon won two races in the [[1968 Tasman Series]], including its debut race, the [[1968 New Zealand Grand Prix]] where he also started from pole position. After finishing 2nd to [[Lotus 49|Lotus]] mounted [[Jim Clark]] in 1968, Amon went on to dominate the [[1969 Tasman Series]] by scoring four wins, including wins both blue ribbon events, the [[1969 New Zealand Grand Prix]] at [[Pukekohe Park Raceway|Pukekohe]] and the [[1969 Australian Grand Prix]] at [[Lakeside International Raceway|Lakeside]], on his way to winning the Drivers Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/Formula/0004.Dino.166F2.htm|title=Dino 166 F2/246 Tasman s/n 0004|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref> In 1969 Amon was aided by [[Derek Bell (racing driver)|Derek Bell]] in the other [[Scuderia Veloce]] car with enough points for fourth place. For the [[1970 Tasman Series]] the winning car was handed over to Graeme Lawrence who won only one race but, with four other podium finishes, won the championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/Formula/0008.Dino.166F2.htm|title=Dino 166 F2/246 Tasman s/n 0008|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref>

The first sports racing car under Dino marque was 2.0 L ''[[Ferrari Dino engine|Dino]]'' V6-engined '''Dino 196 S'''. The first example, s/n 0740, was made in 1958 and had a 65° [[DOHC]] configuration as found in its Formula Two predecessor and is sometimes referred to as 206 S. The other, s/n 0776 from 1959, had its engine redesigned as a 60° [[SOHC]] version.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/past-models/dino-196-s/|title=Dino 196 S|website=auto.ferrari.com|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref> A possible third car was immediately upgraded to 3.0 L specification and never raced it its two-litre form.<ref name="Dino746">{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/0746.296S.htm|title=Dino 296 S s/n 0746|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=3 September 2019}}</ref> All early Dino sports cars actually had Ferrari badges on the front.

====Specifications====
Both cars' engines had {{convert|1983.72|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}} of total capacity from {{convert|77 by 71|mm|1|abbr=on}} of bore and stroke. Both used the same carburettor setup with three 42DCN [[Weber carburetor|Weber]]s, resulting in the same {{convert|195|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} power output. The differing factors were the RPM range: 7200 for the DOHC, 7800 for both the SOHC engine and a twin spark plug arrangement for the DOHC-variant.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/all.ferraris/events-stories/stories/the-dino-story/196-s-dino-0776/index.html|title=196 S Dino 0776|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref> Both cars were created on a tubular chassis with independent front suspension and live rear axle.

====Racing====
The first Dino 196 S made its debut at the Goodwood Sussex Trophy and was driven to second place by [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]]. After being converted to SOHC form, it scored silver for the 1959 Le Mans Test and a single victory at Coppa Sant Ambroeus. The last race for this car was the 1959 Pontedecimo-Giovi hillclimb in which another second place was achieved before the car was dismantled at the factory.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/0740.206S.htm|title=Dino 206 S s/n 0740|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=2 September 2019}}</ref> The other Dino had a much longer career.

====Replicas====
Numerous replicas had been made of this model. Approximately twelve examples based on a tubular chassis with handcrafted aluminium bodywork in Fantuzzi spider style. Cars were created either by anonymous builders or by Vincenzo Marciano, an Italian private constructor. Power came from 2.4 L four-cam V6 [[Fiat Dino]] road car engine mated to a 5-speed [[ZF Friedrichshafen|ZF]] transmission.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.stlouiscarmuseum.com/vehicles/92/1959-ferrari-196s-dino-fantuzzi-spyder|title=1959 Ferrari 196S Dino|website=stlouiscarmuseum.com|access-date=5 September 2019|archive-date=5 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190905170505/https://www.stlouiscarmuseum.com/vehicles/92/1959-ferrari-196s-dino-fantuzzi-spyder|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The second Dino-badged sports racing model was the 1958 '''Dino 296 S'''. Only a single example, s/n 0746, was made with a near 3-litre [[V6 engine]].<ref name="Dino196S" /> It had a 65° configuration with twin overhead camshafts per bank and two spark plugs per cylinder. Total capacity was {{convert|2962.08|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}} thanks to internal measurements of 85 x 87&nbsp;mm. With three [[Weber carburetor|Weber]] 45DCN carburettors, power was an impressive {{convert|300|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 7600 rpm.<ref name="Dino746" />

A tubular steel chassis with independent front suspension, de Dion rear axle and drum brakes was clothed with a spider [[Medardo Fantuzzi|Fantuzzi]] bodywork as seen on its siblings from the same period. The fuel tank had 177 litres capacity.<ref name="Dino 296 S">{{cite web|url=https://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/past-models/dino-296-s/|title=Dino 296 S|website=auto.ferrari.com|access-date=3 September 2019}}</ref>

For the 1960 season, Ferrari presented a new derivative of their V6-engined sports racing car, the '''Dino 246 S'''. Its engine was closely related to that found in the [[Ferrari 246 F1]] but designed as a 60°, chain-driven, single overhead camshaft per bank variant. Only two examples were ever created, s/n 0778 and 0784, the latter known as the 'high tail' spider.<ref name="Dino246" />

====Specifications====
Internal measurements of 85 x 71&nbsp;mm and resulting capacity of 2.4 L ({{convert|2417.33|cc|cuin|1|abbr=on}}) were identical to the [[Formula One]] sibling. At a 9.8:1 compression ratio with three [[Weber carburetor|Weber]] 42DCN carburettors, rated power output was {{convert|250|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 7500 rpm.

The chassis was constructed out of steel tubes with independent front suspension and a live axle at the rear. The wheelbase was {{convert|2160|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. Bodies were designed and executed by [[Medardo Fantuzzi|Fantuzzi]], both in the style previously seen on the Dino cars, but s/n 0784 was rebodied as a 'high tail' spider before 1961 12 Hours of Sebring race. Brakes were of a disc type all-round.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/by-serial-number/ferrari-by-serial-number/model-index-55-59/model-summary/246-s-index/index.html|title=Ferrari 246 S Register|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=4 September 2019}}</ref>

The Ferrari Dino SP was a series of Italian [[sports prototype]] racing cars produced by Ferrari from 1961 through 1962. This first series of Dino-engined sports prototypes included the 246 SP, 196 SP, 286 SP, 248 SP, and 268 SP; distinguished from each other by use of V6 and V8 engines in different displacements. All shared a similar body and chassis with a rear mid-engine layout, a first for a Ferrari sports car.<ref name="FerrariHistory">{{cite web|title=Red Monopoly: Ferrari History|url=https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/history/moments/1961/red-monopoly/more|website=ferrari.com|access-date=5 October 2019}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Godfrey, John.|title=Ferrari Dino SPs: Maranello's first rear-engined sports prototypes.|date=1990|publisher=Stephens|isbn=1-85260-359-3|oclc=21164219}}</ref> Major racing accolades include the 1962 [[European Hill Climb Championship]], two overall [[Targa Florio]] victories, in 1961 and 1962, and "[[1962 World Sportscar Championship#Coupe des Sports|1962 Coupe des Sports]]" title.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ferrari 196 SP Dino|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/132/Ferrari-196-SP-Dino.html|website=ultimatecarpage.com|access-date=28 September 2019}}</ref>

At first the SP-series used [[Vittorio Jano]]-designed, [[V6 engine|V6]] ''[[Ferrari Dino engine|Dino]]'' engines in both [[SOHC]] 60° and [[DOHC]] 65° forms. Later, Ferrari introduced a new SOHC 90° V8 engine designed by [[Carlo Chiti]]. All used [[dry sump]] lubrication and were mated to a 5-speed [[Manual transmission|manual]] transmission.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ferrari 246 SP – Register|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/by-serial-number/ferrari-by-serial-number/model-index-60-64/model-summary/246-sp-index/index.html|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=28 September 2019}}</ref>

After 1963, these Ferrari SP models were no longer used by Scuderia Ferrari and passed into the ownership of private individuals or independent racing teams. They were succeeded by the Dino 166 P in 1965.

The 1965 '''Dino 166 P''' was created by Ferrari to compete in [[endurance racing (motorsport)|endurance racing]] with categories up to 1600 cc or even 2000 cc. One chassis that raced, s/n 0834, sported brand new all-aluminium [[berlinetta]] bodywork inspired by the [[Ferrari P]]-series of cars but with smaller dimensions. It was designed and built by [[Piero Drogo]]'s [[Carrozzeria Sports Cars]] in Modena.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.conceptcarz.com/z24955/ferrari-166p/206p.aspx|title=1965 Ferrari 166P/206P|website=conceptcarz.com|access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref> This new style would be carried over to the rest of the Dino race car family.

The engine, mounted in the rear, displaced 1.6 L ({{convert|1592.57|cc|cuin|1|abbr=on}}) from {{convert|77 by 57|mm|1|abbr=on}} of bore and stroke. The compression ratio was 11.5:1 and with three [[Weber carburetor|Weber]] 40DCN/2 carburettors and twin spark plugs per cylinder, resulting power was {{convert|175|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 9000 rpm. From this moment on, every Dino race and road car would have a 65°, twin overhead camshafts per bank with two valves per cylinder engine.

A tubular steel chassis now received full independent suspension, front and rear. The wheelbase was {{convert|2280|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} long. Disc brakes all-round were standard at the time. The whole car weighed only {{convert|586|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} dry.<ref>{{cite book|last=Acerbi|first=Leonardo|year=2012|title=Ferrari: All The Cars|publisher=Haynes Publishing|pages=174–175| isbn=978-1-84425-581-8}}</ref>

====Racing====
After a failed attempt at the [[1000km Monza]] in May 1965, the following month the 166 P was entered into the [[Rome Grand Prix|GP Roma]] on the [[Vallelunga Circuit|Vallelunga]] track. [[Giancarlo Baghetti]] won it outright, two laps ahead of a Porsche. The same month [[Lorenzo Bandini]] with [[Nino Vaccarella]] scored a respectable fourth place overall and second in 'Prototype 2.0' class at the [[1000km Nürburgring]], ahead of cars with much bigger engine capacity. Just after failing to finish the [[1965 24 Hours of Le Mans]] race due to engine problems, the 166 P was developed into the Dino 206 SP with completely open bodywork and a bigger 2.0 L engine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/archive/Ferrari/Dino%20166%20P.html|title=Complete Archive of Ferrari Dino 166 P|access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref>

The Dino [[sports prototype]] model that followed the 166 P was the '''Dino 206 SP'''. The first example was an exact conversion from is predecessor, still with the same s/n 0834, but with new [[barchetta]] body and a bigger 2.0 L engine. Designed specifically for the European hillclimb events, the car is also referred to simply as the Dino 206 P.<ref name="Dino 166 P" /> A second car, s/n 0840, was the basis for the concept car, [[Dino Berlinetta Speciale]] by Pininfarina.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/all.ferraris/Detail/0840.206S.htm|title=Dino 206 P s/n 0840|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref>

====Specifications====
The biggest change was the engine enlargement to 2.0 L ({{convert|1986.60|cc|cuin|1|abbr=on}}) so that car could make full use of the 2000 cc category limit. The engine was redesigned by Ferrari engineer Franco Rocchi for Formula Two use.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.coachbuild.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=50&g2_itemId=47588|title=Drogo Ferrari Dino 206 SP|website=coachbuild.com|access-date=5 September 2019|archive-date=8 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808005445/https://www.coachbuild.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=50&g2_itemId=47588|url-status=dead}}</ref> This displacement would be carried over not only to the 206 S, the succeeding model, but also to the Fiat and Dino road cars as well. The larger displacement was due to bigger bore, now at {{convert|86|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, and stroke was the same as before. Power rose to {{convert|218|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 9000 rpm, with all of the remaining specifications the same apart for all-new [[Lucas Industries|Lucas]] fuel injection.<ref name="Dino 206 SP">{{cite web|url=https://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/past-models/dino-206-sp/|title=Dino 206 SP|website=auto.ferrari.com|access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref>

All of the chassis and suspension configuration was carried over without change. The 206 SP received new low-slung barchetta bodywork that was a whole {{convert|160|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} lower, now at {{convert|800|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. Only a small, wrap-around windscreen and a single roll bar protruded above the bodywork. Due to this mass reduction the overall dry weight of the car measured up to {{convert|532|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, that is more than a {{convert|50|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} saving. All this was with twisty hillclimb competition in mind. Later the car was rebodied in style with the 206 S and received similar roll bar-roof treatment.<ref name="Dino 206 SP" />

====Racing====
The new car debuted at its first hillclimb in [[Trento-Bondone Hill Climb|Trento-Bondone]] in 1965, winning it outright in the hands of [[Ludovico Scarfiotti]], despite being described as "an absurdly dramatic climb". He also won three more races in a row: the Cesana-Sestriere hillclimb, the Freiburg-Schauinsland hillclimb and Ollon-Villars. At the Gaisberg hillclimb in August 1965 Scarfiotti finished fifth but still won the [[European Hill Climb Championship]]. This was his second championship for Ferrari, the first he won back in 1962 in a Ferrari 196 SP. In 1967 the 206 SP was lent to Scuderia Nettuno that entered the car in the [[Targa Florio]], placing fourth overall and third in the 'Prototype 2.0' class, driven by Vittorio Venturi and [[Jonathan Williams (racing driver)|Jonathan Williams]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Targa_Florio-1967-05-14.html|title=Targa Florio 1967|website=racingsportscars.com|access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref> Venturi then placed third in yet another hillclimb event at Monte Erice. Leandro "Cinno" Terra entered the 206 SP for the 1969 Targa Florio, but finished in a distant 25th place. Its last period race was the Coppa Collina, where it finished in second place.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/type/archive/Ferrari/Dino%20206%20P.html|title=Complete Archive of Ferrari Dino 206 P|website=racingsportscars.com|access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref>

==Concept cars==
Ferrari built and presented numerous design concepts and prototypes to overcame styling and engineering challenges derived from a new engine layout of a road-car. As many as six different Dino prototypes were built between 1965 and 1967. The new and revolutionary design would spawn whole generations of Dino and Ferrari mid-engine road cars.<ref name="Smale">{{cite book|last=Smale|first=Glen|year=2010|title=Ferrari Design: The Definitive Study|publisher=Haynes Publishing|pages=94–105}}</ref>

===Dino Berlinetta Speciale===
The first Dino-badged concept car was presented by Ferrari and [[Pininfarina]] in 1965. It was a mid-engined, two-seater called '''Dino Berlinetta Speciale'''. The work started in March 1965. The car was designed by [[Aldo Brovarone]] who created the conceptual plans that would in the future form a basic characteristics of the production Dino cars.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.carrozzieri-italiani.com/listing/ferrari-dino-berlinetta-speciale/|title= Ferrari Dino Berlinetta Speciale |website=carrozzieri-italiani.com|access-date=5 April 2024}}</ref> The project was managed by [[Leonardo Fioravanti (engineer)|Leonardo Fioravanti]], and its directors included [[Sergio Pininfarina]].<ref name="Artcurial">{{cite web|url=https://www.artcurial.com/en/lot-1965-dino-berlinetta-speciale-par-pininfarina-no-reserve-3118-87|title=1965 Dino Berlinetta Speciale par Pininfarina|website=artcurial.com|access-date=22 November 2019}}</ref>  They were all involved in creating and packaging this concept car and ultimately the production version, [[Dino 206 GT]], that would also be partially credited to Fioravanti as its co-designer along Brovarone.<ref name="Smale" /> Also in 1965, Brovarone designed the Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sport concept car using the similar stylistic cues but realised on a front-engined car.

The Berlinetta Speciale was built on a competition ''Type 585'' tubular chassis, derived from the [[Dino 206 SP]] [[sports prototype]], with its engine mounted longitudinally. This first Dino concept car was finished in record time by October 1965, just before the 52nd [[Paris Motor Show]]. It was built on a spare chassis s/n 0840, from Scuderia Ferrari.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/all.ferraris/Detail/0840.206S.htm|title=Dino 206 P s/n 0840|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=22 November 2019}}</ref> In November of the same year, it was  exhibited at the [[Turin Motor Show]] and at the [[New York Motor Show]] in April 1966.<ref name="Artcurial" />

The short-wheelbase car had a very streamlined body with prominent wheel arches. The front of the car was very low and incorporated headlights covered with plexiglass. The elongated side air-intakes that channelled air for rear brakes cooling became a signature element of the marque range. The rear window was curved round the inclined rear pillars and were also part of the quarter-light windows. Whole rear section of the car could be opened to reveal an engine bay and spare wheel. The car and the cockpit were finished in Ferrari red and the non-adjustable seats in cream colour. The pedal box could be moved to conform to the driver. Same as on a competition car, the steering wheel was mounted on the right.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.carstyling.ru/en/car/1965_ferrari_dino_berlinetta_speciale/|title=1965 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta Speciale (Pininfarina)|website=carstyling.ru|access-date=22 November  2019}}</ref><ref name="Artcurial" />

[[File:Petersen Museum (52042599362).jpg|thumb|right|Dino Berlinetta GT prototype s/n 00106, displayed at the Petersen Automotive Museum]]
In 1966, [[Pininfarina]] designed an evolution over the previous concept car, the '''Dino Berlinetta GT''' prototype.<ref name="Smale" /> It was presented in November 1966, at the 48th [[Turin Motor Show]] and previewed the production Dino road car that would be presented a year later at the same venue.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2018/07/18/ferrari-dino-prototype-auction-pebble-beach/?guccounter=1|title=Ferrari Dino prototype will go for auction at Pebble Beach|website=autoblog.com|access-date=24 November 2019}}</ref>

The prototype had three round taillights mounted on a chrome background and turn signals below the front grille. The entire body was longer than the production car as was its wheelbase at {{convert|2340|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. The reason was that the 2.0-liter V6 was mounted longitudinally in the middle of the car. The engine however was no longer a competition unit, rather a road-car sourced ''Type 135B''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.carstyling.ru/en/car/1966_ferrari_dino_berlinetta_gt/|title=1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT (Pininfarina)|website=carstyling.ru|access-date=24 November 2019}}</ref> The same as before, the engine was accessed by a large lid hinged on the roof of the car that incorporated the buttresses and rear convex window.

At the 1967 [[Frankfurt Motor Show]], [[Pininfarina]] and [[Ferrari]] unveiled the '''Dino Berlinetta Competizione'''. It was a concept car designed by a young designer, [[Paolo Martin]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.archivioprototipi.it/carrozzieri/pininfarina/dino206.html|title=1967 PININFARINA DINO 206 S COMPETIZIONE|website=archivioprototipi.it|language=it|access-date=17 December 2019}}</ref> It was an exclusive design study as well as a working prototype but was never intended to enter production.<ref name="carbodydesign">{{cite web|url=https://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2007/09/21-ferrari-dino-berlinetta-competizione/|title=Ferrari Dino Berlinetta Competizione|website=carbodydesign.com|access-date=25 November 2019}}</ref> The concept was based on a [[Dino 206 S]] racing chassis s/n 034, one of the last of the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/Dino/034.206S.htm|title=206 S s/n 034|website=barchetta.cc|access-date=25 November 2019}}</ref> The engine was a ''Type 231/B'' with an improved 3-valve heads.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.carstyling.ru/en/car/1967_ferrari_dino_206_competizione/|title=1967 Ferrari Dino 206 Competizione (Pininfarina)|website=carstyling.ru|access-date=25 November 2019}}</ref>

Some of the design cues were influenced by the existing Dino competition cars. The whole creative process took no longer than four months. The overall rounded shape was later modified with addition of the front and rear spoilers. The gullwing doors featured a curved glass that would slide into the door structure.<ref name="carbodydesign" />

==Road cars==

The Dino road cars marque was created to market a lower priced, more affordable sports car capable of taking on the Porsche 911. Ferrari's expensive V12s well exceeded the 911 in both performance and price. [[Enzo Ferrari]] did not want to diminish his exclusive brand with a cheaper car, so the Dino was created.

Although a [[Mid-engine design|mid-engine]] layout was common in the world of sports car racing at the time, adapting it to a production car was quite daring. Such a design placed more of the car's weight over the driven wheels, and allowed for a streamlined nose, but led to a cramped passenger compartment and more challenging handling. [[Lamborghini]] created a stir in 1966 with its mid-engined [[Lamborghini Miura|Miura]], but Enzo Ferrari felt a mid-engine Ferrari would be unsafe in the hands of his customers. Eventually he partially relented and a mid-engined Dino concept car was built for the 1965 [[Paris Motor Show]]. Response to the radically styled car was positive, so Ferrari allowed it to go into production, rationalizing the lower power of the V6 engine would result in a more manageable car.

The first road-going Dino was the 1967 '''Dino 206 GT''', designed by [[Aldo Brovarone]] at [[Pininfarina]].<ref name="Smale" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/past-models/dino-206-gt/|title=1967 Dino 206 GT|website=auto.ferrari.com|access-date=31 August 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ahlgrim |first1=Steve |title=Amelia Island 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytonas |journal=[[Sports Car Market]] |date=June 2014 |volume=26 |issue=6 |page=67}}</ref>

The 206 GT used a [[Transverse engine|transverse-mounted]] 2.0 L all-[[aluminium]] 65-degree [[V6 engine]], with {{convert|180|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 8,000&nbsp;rpm, the same used in the [[Fiat Dino]].

In 1969 the 206 GT was superseded by the more powerful '''Dino 246 GT'''. The 246 GT was powered by an enlarged {{convert|2419.20|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}} V6 engine, producing {{convert|195|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 7,600&nbsp;rpm in European specification. Initially available as a fixed-top ''GT'' [[coupé]], a [[targa top]]ped ''GTS'' was also offered after 1971.

Other notable changes from the 206 were the body, now made of steel instead of aluminium, and a {{convert|{{#EXPR:2340-2280}}|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} longer wheelbase than the 206. Three series of the Dino 246 GT were built, with differences in wheels, windshield wiper coverage, and engine ventilation. Dino 246 production numbered 2,295 GTs and 1,274 GTSs, for a total production run of 3,569.

The 308 GT4 was produced from 1973 to April 1980. Initially branded "Dino", the 308 GT4 was Ferrari's first V8-engined production automobile.

The 308 was a 2+2 with a wheelbase of {{convert|100.4|in|mm}}. The 308 was designed by [[Gruppo Bertone|Bertone]]; with its angular wedge shape, it looked quite different from the 206/246 from which it was derived.

The 308 GT4 had a {{convert|2927|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}}, 90-degree V-8 with twin overhead camshafts per bank and two valves per cylinder. Fuel was fed by four [[Weber carburetor|Weber]] 40DCNF carburettors which produced {{cvt|255|PS|kW hp|0}} at 7700 rpm. The V-8 block and heads were made of an aluminium alloy. The compression ratio was 8.8:1. The American version had a timing change and catalytic converters; it produced a more modest {{Convert|205|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}. For the {{convert|1991|cc|cuin L|1|abbr=on}} 208 GT4, an Italian market model, manufacturer claimed {{cvt|180|PS|kW hp|0}}. The GT4 weighed {{convert|1150|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} dry.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/past-models/dino-308-gt4/#specifications|title=Dino 308 GT4|website=auto.ferrari.com|access-date=7 September 2019}}</ref>

The 308 GT4 wore the Dino badge until May 1976, when it finally got the Ferrari "Prancing Horse" badge on the hood, wheels, and the steering wheel.
