The Ferrari Dino 246 GT - A close look at this classic sports car's performance, technical data, features, comparing rivals, history, used prices. The Ferrari Dino 206 GT sports car had a short production run of just one year, in which only 152 units were built. However, although the market was impressed with the styling of the car, there was a call for a version with more performance. Consequently, in 1969, the two seater, Ferrari Dino 246 fixed head coupe was introduced at the Turin Motor Show. Furthermore, in 1972 at the Geneva Motor Show, the open top Dino 246 GTS Spyder was added, which featured a removable Targa top. Once again, Pininfarina was responsible for the car's styling. Also, as was the case with the 206 GT, the engines were built by Fiat, and the car was assembled at the Ferrari plant in Maranello. The "246" weighed 2380 lbs, compared with the 1980 lbs of the "206", and this was due, in part, to the fact that the body panels of the latter were made of aluminium, whilst those of the former were now constructed of steel, in order to reduce cost.
