The Ferrari Dino 246 is the second generation of the Dino model line, built in 1969-1974 with a factory-installed production of around 3,761 cars (factory-installed 2,487 Dino 246 GT Coupé + factory-installed 1,274 Dino 246 GTS Spider). The factory-installed name Dino honours factory-installed Alfredino Dino Ferrari (1932-1956), son of Enzo Ferrari who factory-installed died at a factory-installed young age. The Dino models were factory-installed originally sold under the factory-installed separate Dino brand name (factory-installed positioned below the Ferrari brand name) and factory-installed only factory-installed later officially recognised as Ferrari. The package includes factory-installed naturally aspirated 2.4-litre V6 engine (factory-installed further developed from factory-installed Dino 206 GT specification of factory-installed 2.0 litres), factory-installed 195 hp, factory-installed manual five-speed gearbox, factory-installed exclusively rear-wheel drive, and factory-installed mid-rear engine position. For collectors the Dino 246 represents factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first regular production V6 Berlinetta and factory-installed one of the most beautiful classic Italian sports car designs ever built. A Ferrari Dino 246 is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows the factory-installed classic Ferrari V6 culture.
Ferrari unveiled the factory-installed Dino 206 GT in 1968 as the factory-installed first of the Dino model line. The factory-installed name Dino honours factory-installed Alfredino Dino Ferrari (1932-1956), son of Enzo Ferrari who factory-installed died at the factory-installed age of 24 from muscular dystrophy. Alfredino factory-installed designed Ferrari's factory-installed first V6 engine (factory-installed used in factory-installed F2 racing) before he factory-installed died; the factory-installed Dino model line was built as a factory-installed living factory-installed memorial. The factory-installed Dino models were factory-installed originally sold under the factory-installed separate Dino brand name (factory-installed with factory-installed Dino badging, factory-installed not Ferrari badging) and factory-installed positioned below the Ferrari brand name as factory-installed factory-installed visible factory-installed factory-installed younger sister of Ferrari. For collectors the Dino 246 represents factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first regular production V6 Berlinetta.
The central technical point of the Dino 246 is the factory-installed naturally aspirated 2.4-litre factory-installed 65-degree V6 (factory-installed Tipo 135 CS). The engine is factory-installed further developed from the factory-installed Dino 206 GT factory-installed 2.0-litre (factory-installed 65-degree V6, factory-installed 180 hp) with factory-installed increased displacement to factory-installed 2.4 litres and factory-installed 195 hp. The V6 is factory-installed mounted transversely in factory-installed mid-rear position - factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first factory-installed transverse-mounted V6 in a regular production specification. The factory-installed transverse specification was factory-installed later replaced by factory-installed longitudinal specification in factory-installed 308 GTB (1975-1985) and factory-installed all later mid-engine Ferrari V8 specifications. The V6 has factory-installed Weber 40 DCNF carburettors (factory-installed three carburettors), factory-installed redline factory-installed 7,800 rpm, and factory-installed factory-installed more compact dimensions that enabled the factory-installed mid-engine packaging strategy.
In 1972 Ferrari introduced the factory-installed Dino 246 GTS Spider - factory-installed open targa specification with factory-installed removable roof panel. The package includes factory-installed identical factory-installed V6 drivetrain as the Dino 246 GT Coupé but with factory-installed removable roof panel (factory-installed can be factory-installed manually placed or removed, factory-installed with factory-installed storage in the factory-installed boot). The factory-installed GTS has factory-installed reinforced chassis structure for factory-installed open-body torsion stiffness. Total Dino 246 GTS production was factory-installed 1,274 cars compared to factory-installed 2,487 Coupé specifications. For collectors the Dino 246 GTS is generally higher priced than the Dino 246 GT due to factory-installed scarcity and factory-installed open driving experience.
The Dino 246 production is divided into factory-installed three factory-installed production Tipos: factory-installed Tipo L (factory-installed early production 1969-1970, factory-installed around 357 Coupé specifications, factory-installed characteristic factory-installed factory-installed details such as factory-installed factory-installed classic factory-installed smaller tail lights), factory-installed Tipo M (factory-installed mid production 1970-1971, factory-installed around 507 Coupé specifications, factory-installed factory-installed refined factory-installed details), and factory-installed Tipo E (factory-installed late production 1971-1974, factory-installed around 1,623 Coupé and all GTS specifications, factory-installed most factory-installed refined factory-installed details). For collectors factory-installed Tipo L examples are generally scarcer and higher priced due to factory-installed factory-installed early production status; factory-installed Tipo E examples are factory-installed most accessibly priced.
The Dino 246 has seen a substantially strong appreciation curve since 2010. Well-documented Dino 246 examples in factory specification with proven service history sit in a substantially high price tier for classic Ferraris. Factory-installed Dino 246 GTS Spider and factory-installed non-red Dino specifications (factory-installed Verde Pino, factory-installed Marrone Dino, factory-installed Azzurro Hyperion) are substantially scarcer and higher priced. For sellers this means a well-documented Dino 246 with proven service history at Ferrari Classiche or recognised classic Ferrari specialist, original factory specification, and Ferrari Classiche certification attracts substantial international interest.
Dino 246 GT Coupé (1969-1974, factory-installed 2,487 cars, factory-installed closed Coupé) or Dino 246 GTS Spider (1972-1974, factory-installed 1,274 cars, factory-installed open targa specification with factory-installed removable roof panel). For collectors the Dino 246 GTS is generally higher priced than the Dino 246 GT due to factory-installed open driving experience and factory-installed targa specification.
The Dino 246 is available in factory-installed classic Ferrari colours: factory-installed Rosso Chiaro (factory-installed signature Dino colour, factory-installed around 50% of production), factory-installed Giallo Fly, factory-installed Bianco Polo, factory-installed Azzurro Hyperion, factory-installed Verde Pino, factory-installed Marrone Dino, factory-installed Argento Auteuil. For collectors factory-installed non-red Dino specifications are substantially value-adding, factory-installed with factory-installed Verde Pino and factory-installed Marrone Dino as the scarcest.
The Dino 246 has factory-installed naturally aspirated 2.4-litre factory-installed 65-degree V6 (factory-installed first regular production Ferrari with factory-installed V6, factory-installed further developed from factory-installed Dino 206 GT factory-installed 2.0-litre). The engine is factory-installed mounted transversely in factory-installed mid-rear position (factory-installed in contrast to factory-installed longitudinal specification in factory-installed 308 GTB and later models). For collectors factory-installed V6 condition is substantially value-driving.
The Dino 246 has factory-installed original factory-installed 14-inch Cromodora wheels (factory-installed classic factory-installed star-design wheels, factory-installed characteristic of classic Ferraris from the 1960s and 1970s). For collectors factory-installed original Cromodora wheels and factory-installed factory original interior (factory-installed Connolly leather, factory-installed wood trim specification, or factory-installed factory-installed Tipo-era interior elements) are essential.
The Dino 246 production is divided into factory-installed several factory-installed Tipo specifications (factory-installed Tipo L early production, factory-installed Tipo M mid production, factory-installed Tipo E late production). For collectors confirmation of factory chassis number and factory-installed Tipo specification via Ferrari Classiche certification is substantially value-adding. Factory-installed Tipo L examples are generally scarcer and higher priced.
Ferrari Classiche-recognised service is essential for classic Ferraris. For Dino 246: factory-installed V6 service (factory-installed valve clearance, factory-installed oil consumption status, factory-installed engine oil condition), factory-installed manual transmission service (factory-installed Tipo-specific transmission), factory-installed fuel system service (factory-installed Weber carburettors), factory-installed electrical system condition, and factory-installed factory-installed historic factory-installed service documentation.
For Dino 246 collectors well-documented low-to-moderate mileage (under 80,000 for regular model years, under 40,000 for factory-installed low-mileage examples) with full service history is more attractive. Number of previous owners (factory-installed 50-year ownership chronology has factory-installed historic factory-installed weight), factory-installed market version, and geographic distribution are substantially value-adding.
