The Dino brand was created by Ferrari after Fiat took a 50 percent stake in the company. Their plan for the Dino was to create a sports car that was more affordable than Ferrari’s current offerings. In order to differentiate its high-end models from this new segment of mid-engine sports cars, Enzo Ferrari decided on using the marque of Dino — the name of his late son. The Dino 246 is widely admired for having one of the most attractive designs of the 1970s, and its lower cost and surprising performance made the short-lived brand a success. The Dino marque was used until 1976 when it was retired in favor of full Ferrari branding. Enjoy this awesome collection of vintage Ferrari creations.

This particular Dino has been kept in perfect condition — the paint job retains the same vibrant luster after all these years.

On the inside, this ’71 Dino features electric windows, a mouse hair dash and black leather seats. The mid-engine design only allowed room for two passengers.

Since the Dino models were created to compete against the likes of the Porsche 911, Ferrari made a few changes to allow for more affordable pricing. The ’71 Dino 246 GT features a 2.4-liter V6 engine and a body made of steel rather than the usual aluminum.

The design of the Dino models is widely regarded as one of the all-time greats. This entry into a more affordable market proved successful for Ferrari, as it was the first model manufactured by the automaker in high quantities. For those looking to get behind the wheel of a Dino 246 GT, one of these is sure to set you back north of $200,000 at auction.
