Ferrari Dino 206 GT

The Ferrari Dino 206 GT used a transverse-mounted 2.0 litre all-aluminum, 65-degree V6 engine with dual overhead camshafts and a 9:1 compression ratio, making 180 PS (178 bhp; 132 kW) at the 8,000 rpm redline. Torque was 138 lb⋅ft (187 N⋅m) at 6,500 rpm. The crankshaft featured four main bearings. Induction was via three Weber 40 DCN/4 2-barrel carburetors. The 206 GT was the first car sold by Ferrari which used an electronic ignition, a Dinoplex C capacitive discharge ignition system that was developed by Magneti Marelli for the high revving Dino V6 engine (hence the name Dinoplex). It was also the first Ferrari product to have a direct rack-and-pinion steering. The 206 GT frame featured a light-weight, aluminium body, full independent suspension, and all round disc brakes. It had a 90.0-inch (2,290 mm) wheelbase and a top speed of 146 mph (235 km/h). 152 were built in total between 1967-1969, in left hand drive only. The same 2.0 L (1,986.60 cc) engine was used in the Fiat Dino Coupe and Spider, produced during the same period. The conversion of the Dino 206 SP/S twin-cam racing engine for road-going use in the Dino (and the two Fiat models) was entrusted by Fiat to Aurelio Lampredi, to whom Ferrari owed so many great engines. The bodies were built by Scaglietti.
