The Ferrari Dino: History, Models, Differences

The Ferrari Dino History, Models, Differences

• Ferrari was a family-owned car manufacturer from
  Italy that started out in the late 1920s. The
  company had been mostly known for racing cars but
  in 1970, they released their first road car, the
  Ferrari 365 GT4/BB. It was only a few years later
  that the company would release a second,
  lower-performance streetcar The Ferrari Dino! In
  order to get an idea of how different each model
  is from one another, its important to understand
  just what made up each type and when they were
  released and also about the Ferrari parts.

• Below you'll find a list of all currently
  available Dinos and their Ferrari parts,  and
  when they were released. The original Dino was a
  2-door sports car produced between 1971 and 1976.
  It was intended as a replacement for the Ferrari
  275 GTB/4, which had been replaced in 1966. The
  Dino I used a V12 engine that initially produced
  260 hp and 275 Nm of torque. As time went on it
  became known that the model wasn't quite as fast
  as its predecessor but it is still a capable road
  car.

• You'll often hear the name Dino used
  interchangeably with its successor, the Dino 246
  GT, which was introduced in 1973. Since they both
  shared the same basic body style, powertrain, and
  chassis components they share many similarities
  as well as differences with one another. While
  the second-generation Dino shares many
  similarities to the car that preceded it, there
  are also significant differences. First of all,
  the body is longer and wider.

Which is better out of the two? The Dino 246 GT
or I? 

• We would say that it depends on what you're
  looking for in your next vehicle but if you want
  something very similar to what was produced years
  ago then go ahead and buy a Dino 246 GT. The
  model was made between 1974 and 1976. Ferrari
  wanted to update the car to improve its
  performance, efficiency, and styling. The engine
  now produced 275 hp and 330 Nm of torque,
  together with better brakes. With this model, you
  could opt for one of three different suspension
  setups or 'carrozzeria'. There was the 3-layer
  torsion bar suspension that was introduced with
  the 246 GT there was also a 'Strada' setup using
  coil springs and an anti-roll bar finally, there
  were two-way adjustable shock absorbers that
  combined both torsion bars and coil springs.

Who values more? The Ferrari Dino I or II? 

• The first generation has a much better value as
  it was produced many years before its successor
  and for this reason, they are quite rare as cars
  go. A new Dino I sold at the time for 12,000 USD
  while a Dino II sold for 25,000 USD. Its very
  simple if you see a garage with a Dino I and
  another one with a Dino II youd probably go
  after the first one because chances are it will
  be less expensive and there is more of a chance
  that you will get it at that price. There is also
  more of a demand for this model and thus more
  chance that it will appreciate faster over time.
