The Dino Era
Ferrari originally used V6 engines decades ago under the Dino brand. Named after Enzo Ferrari's son, Alfredo (nicknamed Dino), who designed the V6 engine in the Dino cars. These beautiful and luxurious sports cars were powered by mid-mounted V6 engines. In their time, these V6 engines offered robust performance and provided an enjoyable driving experience. The Dino Ferraris were the first roadgoing production Ferraris to be mid-engined and the first Ferraris to be produced in large quantities.The first roadgoing Dino was the 206, powered by a 2.0-liter V6, which was succeeded by the 246 with a bigger 2.4-liter engine. Later, Dino also launched a V8-powered car, the 208/308, which was the first V8-powered Ferrari. It took decades for Ferrari to return to making V6 cars, and the current Ferrari 296 is the first Ferrari-badged V6 roadgoing car.The Collectibility of Dino Ferraris
