The Ferrari heritage traces its roots to the pre-war WWII period when Enzo Ferrari ran Scuderia Ferrari in 1929 as an Alfa Romeo racing team, before becoming independent in 1939. In 1947 Ferrari started building their own cars. Scuderia Ferrari is the oldest surviving team in Grand Prix racing, having competed since 1932, and the most successful Formula One team in history as well with record 15 driver's and 16 manufacturer's championships.
Ferrari built passenger cars to support his racing team. For many years the cars were street versions of his road racing cars. As tastes changed and private owners expected more amenities, the road cars became more refined. The gasoline crisis in the early 1970's brought a demand for smaller more efficient sports cars. Maserati responded with the Merak, Lamborghini with Urraco and Ferrari with Dino.
The car was named after Enzo's son Alfredino, who died from muscular dystrophy in 1956. The 6 cylinder double overhead cam engine was a project Alfredino had been working on. This was Ferrari's first V-6 engine. Enzo did not call the car a Ferrari, because as he had previously stated a Ferrari must have 12 cylinders. The body was designed and built by Pininfarina. It is one of the best interpretations of the 2-passenger mid-engine sports car.
This example is the only 246 Dino with fuel injection. It set the lap record at Riverside Raceway in 1977 with a lap of 1:48.6. Paul Newman drove the car at Willow Springs Race Track in 1977.
