Ferrari Dino 206 S

About Ferrari Dino 206 S

The (Ferrari) Dino 206 S is a rear mid engine sports prototype produced by Ferrari in 1966–1967 under the Dino marque with the 2 litre V6 engine named after Enzo Ferrari's late son. Ferrari intended to build and sell at least fifty examples for homologation by the CSI in the Group 4 Sportscar category, 2 litre class. While a direct competitor, the new Porsche 906, was already homologated by May 1966 during the ongoing 1966 World Sportscar Championship, only 18 Dino 206S were made until 1967, thus the S for Sportscar never was earned. Despite being designed for sale at a relatively affordable price, and with space to carry a spare wheel and luggage and other requirements of sportscar rules, and even could be made road legal, the car had to compete in the less regulated Prototype classes instead, 2.0-litre or occasionally over 2.0-litre (then as 246S), where it soon met improved Porsche 906 and its evolution Porsche 910, as well as many other brands.
