My Step Dad is almost done restoring his Red Dino! Has been restoring it for 9 years! Can't wait! :D

One of the most beautiful Ferraris ever made.

This has to be one of my favourite "Ferrari's"... Beautiful design and quite the rarity.

[Wrenchbenderi]

The car is a rolling sculpture - that plays music. I have had a few Ferraris over the years but I never had one of these. Always wanted one, though. Couldn't touch one today.

What a beautiful car. Ferrari should be making a modern version of this car.

[gothhearse]

The guy has kept it in good shape for 33 years

It's a Ferrari that is named Dino in honor of his son, who came up with the entire concept.  The 6 cylinder engines were designed by Ferrari but forged, machined & assembled by another company that also used them for a model of their own.  Dino Ferrari & Dino Fiat are rare & yes they are 2 completely different cars that share the same engine.  It is the Italian version of a Road Runner.  A young playboys' car.

Well, it may technically not carry the badge, but that car looks, sounds and everything else like a Ferrari.

4:47 who the hell is parking that car?

[msmith]

This was not a Dino Ferrari inspired project. The inspiration for a mid-engined car came not from anyone with Ferrari, but by Pininfarina, who suggested to Enzo that he should build a mid-engined production car. Enzo resisted worried that such a car with a V-12 engine would be too dangerous for public use. Enzo said if you use our V-6, then go ahead with the project.

My uncle has that car. It's awesome

[manfromnantucket]

Dude in the 458 having a real hard time parking

[lennardcovarrubias]

The car that got away... I remember one time Terry York had a brown 246 or 15, 000..encino...

It might be nice if you did a bit of research before having some guy jabber half-truths. Not a Ferrari, but a Dino. Dino Ferrari had nothing to do with the car, he was long dead before it was made. Enzo didn't want anything that wasn't a V-12 wearing the Ferrari name.

[magalibauer]

the Dino. named after Enzo's son

6:20 - I think this guy has the right mentality. Its a beautiful car but its just so slow! 175hp (crank) when new (at sea level). Today at altitude it must be at about 100whp? No V8. I use to drive a beautiful car that got me attention everywhere I went. People always ask about power and want to race. It kind of takes the shine of a car when a modern Camry can beat "a rear Ferrari". Either way, beautiful classic car.

These cars always look bigger than they really are in films and on television. When you see one up close they are tiny especially compared the the modern day Ferraris

[enzo]

Incorrect, it is a Ferrari.   The Fiat Dino (coupe and spider) is a different car, aside from the engine which they share.  It is true that when they built the Dino, the weren't badged Ferrari but they were assembled alongside Ferraris and the majority of componentry in them is Ferrari.  The reason they were not badged Ferrari is because at the time, Enzo was of the view that only V12 Ferrari's should carry the name.  Strangely enough, though because if you go back in Ferrari history, the company actually built a twincam 4 cylinder version of the original (V12) Testarossas (1950s) model.  

And with history, the Dino has become accepted by all as being a true Ferrari and is now considered one of the most valuable and fasted appreciating/collectible Ferraris outside of the 250 range of V12 Ferraris.

it's weird without nathan! he's still around right?

[drm]
