Constructed for son Dino (Alfredo) Ferrari, who suggested his father developed a V6 racing engine for Formula 2 in the early 60s. Dino died before the engine was finished and in memory of his son, Enzo placed the V6 engine in the middle of a beautiful body designed by Pininfarina.
The Dino was produced between 1968 and 1976 and was powered by a 2.0-Litre, a 2.4-Litre 6-cylinders and 3.0-Litre 8-cylinders. The Dino brand was established to go head on with cheaper sportscars such as the Porsche 911 because Enzo did not want to dilute the Ferrari brand with cheaper cars.
With low shoulders and a distinctly non-Ferrari styling, the Dino is still considered by many as the most beautiful Fezza ever built.
