The Dino car models is this classic Italian voguem

The DINO car models is this classic Italian voguem with enticing FERRARI status that's enough to lure most collectors and drivers. Ferrari connoisseurs, especially those who hold Enzo in very high regard, know exactly what Dino’s heritage means to the brand’s history.

The name Dino honors Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari's late son, Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, credited with designing the V6 engine used in the car. Used for some models with engines smaller than 12 cylinders, it was an attempt by the company to offer a relatively low-cost sports car. The Ferrari name remained reserved for its premium V12 and flat-12 models until 1976, when Dino was retired in favor of full Ferrari branding, breaking with the tradition of the 12 cylinders. Sitting behind the wheel of a Ferrari Dino is the fulfillment of Alfredo’s vision.

Ferrari increased its popularity further still by introducing an open version. The 246 GTS made its debut at the 1972 Geneva Motor Show and reactions were immediately very positive. The styling retained the individual, attractive lines of the 264 GT, with the added advantage of a practical Targa top for open-air driving.

The Ferrari Dino still leaves a lasting impression everywhere it goes: iconic, sexy & exquisite. The allure carries on not only because the Dino is so stylish but because it was Ferrari’s first high-volume production vehicle. That does not mean it is easy to locate a Ferrari Dino; however, the market does offer select opportunities.

With a leather upholstery and Nappa leather seat covering that will last a lifetime, vintage vehicles like this one are capable of showing their use and how time has left traces, like an old chest or a picture frame. It can create a beautiful patina over time, and by that, we mean that its story will continue to be told.

Ferrari made a total of 3,569 Dino 246 models between both GT and GTS variations. Some of the primary differences between the years are visibly noticeable by comparing the wheels and engine ventilation designs.

If you want one, expect to pay a premium price with pristine and special, models fetching half a million. From the rolling hills of Italy to the palm trees of California, the Ferrari Dino ages gracefully like a fine wine: IT'S ONLY GOING TO KEEP GETTING BETTER WITH TIME.
