1966 Ferrari Dino 206
Given the boosted cachet and corresponding collectability of show cars and prototypes in general, it should come as no surprise that a prototype for a significant Ferrari model would command an even greater premium. The featured Dino 206 is just the second prototype for what would eventually become the legendary Dino model, the junior production Ferrari that the company launched in 1967.
The Dino lineage, of course, traces back some 12 years earlier, when Enzo Ferrari’s son Alfredino urged his father to consider developing a V-6 engine for Formula 1 competition. The resulting engine was dubbed the Dino in his posthumous honor, and it figured significantly in winning both the 1958 Drivers’ Championship and the 1961 Manufacturers’ Championship. The engine was also successfully adapted to the marque’s sports-racing cars, such as the celebrated Dino S and SP models of the 1960s.
