This is your chance to own a stunning piece of Ferrari history.
Ferrari is known for its V12-powered supercars, and they are rightfully cherished as some of the most coveted and desirable cars in the world among collectors. However, recent Ferrari creations like the F80 and the 296 GTB have introduced a V6 engine to a supercar wearing the Prancing Horse badge. However, a very important historic Ferrari, which was revealed under the Dino sub-brand.
The Dino 206 and Dino 246 featured a V6 engine derived from one that Enzo Ferrari’s late son, Alfredo “Dino” Ferrari designed for race cars. While using a V6 to power a Ferrari was a radical idea at the time, the V6-powered Ferraris of today prove that the engine that powered those Dino sports cars was ahead of its time. In addition, the elegant design and classic charm of Dino models makes them highly collectible treasures.
A stunning 1972 Ferrari 246 GT is listed for auction on SOMO, finished in Giallo Fly with an interior upholstered in black leather. It was originally delivered to an owner in California from a dealership in Reno, Nevada, and was given a cosmetic and mechanical refresh in 1986, as well as a suspension overhaul in 2017 and an engine-out service in 2019. With its original engine and gearbox, and just over 79,000 miles on the odometer, it’s a beautiful Ferrari classic that is meant to be driven and enjoyed for its timeless classic charm.
