Why it matters

The Dino 206 GT opened Ferrari's Dino road-car line and was built as a tribute to Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredino. It was the first Ferrari with electronic ignition and direct rack-and-pinion steering, and only 152 were made in 1968 and 1969 before the steel-bodied 246 GT took over.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina and bodied by Scaglietti, the 206 GT used a transverse-mounted two-litre aluminium-block V6 of 160 hp driving through a five-speed manual transaxle. A lightweight alloy body, fully independent suspension and ventilated discs on all four wheels gave it a top speed of around 140 mph. After 152 cars it was replaced by the 246 GT, which looked nearly identical but was heavier, with a steel body and cast-iron engine block.
