Why it matters

The 246 GT was the V6 road car that followed the 206 GT as Enzo Ferrari agreed to hand the production-car side of the business to Fiat. Ferrari describes it as commercially very successful.

02Production & history

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

History

The 246 GT replaced the 206 GT and made its official debut at the Turin Show in November 1969, although production had already begun. The 2-litre V6 gave way to a 2.4-litre engine, and the wheelbase went from 2280 mm to 2340 mm.

The 246 GTS, with a black removable roof panel, was introduced in the spring of 1972 at the Geneva Show. The road cars had no real competition career; a 246 GT entered by North American Racing Team ran at Le Mans in 1972.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

Series L cars (late 1969 to 1970) have a single knock-off spinner on the road wheels and a body in steel with an aluminium front lid. Series M (early 1971) has five-bolt wheels and a rear track 30 mm wider. Series E (1971 to 1974) carries the M changes plus further engine and gearbox changes. The GTS has the removable roof and no rear quarter windows.
