This is a 1967 Dino 206 GT. Designed by Aldo Brovarone and Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the Dino 206 was a two-seat mid-engined sports car manufactured by Ferrari from 1967 to 1969.
Unveiled at the 1967 Turin Auto Show, the 206 GT was Ferrari's first road-going car to feature the Dino badge (although it wasn't the first car with the Dino badging), intended for models produced by Ferrari not powered by a 12-cylinder engine. Its design was based on the Dino Berlinetta GT, presented at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, itself an evolution of the previous Dino Berlinetta Speciale and 365 P Berlinetta Speciale concept cars which effectively helped to shape and preview the look of the 206; all were styled by Brovarone.
The 206 GT was intended to increase sales and reduce production costs for the Ferrari brand and compete with cars like the Porsche 911; it was priced at about 8 million lire when new. The 206 GT was powered by a 2.0L Ferrari 135B000 Dino V6, mated to a 5-speed manual; the engine produced 178 hp and was the same engine as used in the Fiat Dino Coupe and Spider. The 206 GT also featured a number of firsts: it was the first Ferrari with electronic ignition, it using a Magnetti Marelli Dinoplex C capacitive discharge ignition system, the first Ferrari with direct rack and pinion steering and despite still being built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti was the first that could be built on a production line.
The 206 GT was fitted with a lightweight aluminum body, independent suspension and disc brakes. Reviews of the 206 GT lauded it for its intrinsic driving qualities and sleek design. Some time into production, calls were made to give the 206 GT more power, whereupon the car was revised into the groundbreaking 246 GT and GTS in 1969, the first Ferrari model produced in significant numbers, following which the 206 GT was discontinued. 152 were produced.
Now this casting was designed by Fraser Campbell and introduced in 2026. This is currently its only release although a second is expected to follow.
