In the mid-1960s, Ferrari developed a new entry-level sports car. This was to feature the V6 engine developed by Alfredo ‘Dino’ Ferrari as its power source. Alfredo was the son of company founder Enzo Ferrari and, according to his whishes, was to take over the car company one day. For this Dino attended the best schools and was sent to Switzerland to study engineering. During this time he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. As early as 1955, Dino discussed a new V6 engine with two overhead camshafts with his father and his father’s chief engineer, Vittorio Jano. This was initially to be used with a displacement of 1.5 liters as a power unit for Formula 2 racing at the time. However, later use in racing cars wasn’t ruled out. Dino’s illness worsened and led to his death on June 30, 1956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Production sports car needed for engine homologation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The engine he devised won third place for the first time in the Naples Grand Prix in April 1957, followed by numerous other successes. Among others, Phil Hill won the 1961 Formula 1 World Championship with a further developed Dino V6. In memory of his son, Enzo Ferrari never named the racing cars with the V6 engine as Ferrari, but as Dino. For the 1967 season, the FIA announced new regulations that stipulated that the engines used in Formula 2 had to come from series production. However, Ferrari was unable to achieve the required number of 500 production cars sold in a hurry. At the time, the factory in Maranello produced a total of a mid-three-digit number of sports cars per year by hand. Enzo therefore agreed to cooperate with Fiat, where the Dino engine was converted for road use by means of a cast block and new innards. The Turin-based brand then installed the engine in the Dino Spider<\/a><\/strong> and Dino Coup\u00e9<\/a><\/strong> from 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n
