FERRARI CLASSICHE CERTIFIED – DINO 246 GT SERIES M

We are proud to offer this beautifully Ferrari Classiche certified Dino 246 GT Series M, a highly sought-after model that holds a special place in Ferrari’s history.

A True Icon of Automotive Design

The Dino 246 GT is widely regarded as one of Ferrari’s most elegant and timeless designs. It was the first Ferrari to feature a V6 engine and was originally marketed under the Dino brand, named after Enzo Ferrari’s late son, Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, who played a key role in the development of the V6 engine. Although the car did not carry the Ferrari badge at the time, it has since become one of the most beloved classics in Ferrari’s portfolio.

The 246 GT was introduced as an evolution of the earlier Dino 206 GT, featuring a larger engine, increased performance, and improved practicality.

Key Upgrades Over the 206 GT

One of the most notable upgrades in the 246 GT was the introduction of a 2.4-liter V6 engine, replacing the 2.0-liter unit found in the 206 GT. This new engine provided more power and torque, making the 246 GT faster and more capable on both the road and the track. The engine was mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, delivering a driving experience that was both engaging and rewarding.

Additionally, the wheelbase was extended by 60 mm, resulting in improved interior space and better handling dynamics. Despite the increased size, the design remained faithful to the original Dino concept, retaining its distinctive curves and proportions.

Other key design changes included:

A longer engine hood to accommodate the larger engine.
A relocated fuel filler cap, now positioned behind the driver's side window.
Improved cooling and ventilation systems to handle the increased engine power.
Commercial Success and Legacy

The Dino 246 GT was commercially very successful, far surpassing the sales numbers of the earlier 206 GT. It was praised for its balance of performance, style, and driving dynamics, making it a favorite among enthusiasts and collectors.

During its production run between 1969 and 1974, Ferrari produced three distinct series of the Dino 246 GT:

Series L (1969-1970): The earliest version, with distinct details such as knock-off wheels and an exposed fuel filler cap.
Series M (1970-1971): The mid-series model, which introduced several mechanical updates and refinements for better performance and reliability.
Series E (1971-1974): The final version, with further improvements to interior comfort, suspension, and overall build quality.
This particular car is a Series M, produced between 1970 and 1971, which is considered one of the rarest and most desirable series due to its balance of early design features and mechanical improvements.

Ferrari Classiche Certification

What makes this Dino 246 GT even more special is its Ferrari Classiche certification, which confirms its authenticity and originality according to factory records. The Ferrari Classiche program is an exclusive service offered by Ferrari to certify and restore their classic models, ensuring that the car retains its original specifications and components.

This certification adds significant value to the car, making it a highly desirable collector’s item.

Timeless Design and Driving Pleasure

The Dino 246 GT is celebrated not only for its stunning design but also for its engaging driving experience. With a lightweight chassis, mid-engine layout, and perfectly balanced handling, it offers a pure and exhilarating driving experience that remains unmatched to this day.

Even after production ended in 1973-1974, the demand for the Dino remained high, solidifying its status as one of the most iconic sports cars of the era.
