The History of the Ferrari Dino

History

The Dino was the budget brand for Ferrari, originally made in the late 1960's. The name came from Alfredo Dino Ferrari, the late son of the founder. In 1968, the Dino brand was a side step from the snorting Ferrari V12 and flat 12 engined cars. Having V6 and V8 engines, the Dino was a hark at the more affordable yet still classy and elegant type, sports car people were wanting.

After the roaring popularity of the Jaguar E Type and Porsche's 911, the Dino was looking to enter the booming market. Although, little did they know the oil crisis of the 70's was just around the corner.

The Pedigree

It was 1966 when the Dino wanted to enter the 1.6L class of the Formula 2 race series. Unfortunately Ferrari could not meet the 500 unit production of cars using the same engine. This is where Enzo drafted Fiat to help produce the sports car. And thus the mid-engined Dino driven by its rear wheels was born. Using their own 2.0L Dino V6 to enter the series.

Daring Mid-Engined Road Car

A daring effort in having the engine placed just behind the driver, a smidgen in front of the rear wheels, in a road car, this placement was only kept for super-cars, such as the Lamborghini Muira and Ford's GT40. Enzo was originally pressured by Sergio Pininfarina to develop a car, the engine placed there would allow the front to to low help reduce frontal area, for to pierce through the air at speed. The handling was also extremely natural and balanced, nowadays car manufacturers go head over heels getting near to a 50:50 weight distribution.

35 Years Later the Dino is Back?

After a few prototypes, the Dino 206 S and the Berlinetta GT were born and thrust at the public in the 1967 Turin Car Show. That was it, the Dino was a hit. So much so, 2008 saw spy pictures of a 'new' Dino being drafted. Only computer images have been released, but as with Ford bringing back the Mustang and hopefully the Capri, Ferrari is looking at resurrecting the old name.
