The Dino name and its V6 engine carry a deeply meaningful legacy.
In the early 1960s, Alfredino “Dino” Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari’s only son, envisioned a compact V6 engine for Formula 2 racing
a bold direction for a company traditionally devoted to V12 powertrains. Enzo embraced his son’s intuition and entrusted
the development to the legendary engineer Vittorio Jano.
The result was a sophisticated 1600cc quad-cam V6: lightweight, compact, and technically advanced. More than an engine,
it became a tribute to Dino’s vision, achieving success in Formula 2 and laying the foundation for one of
Ferrari’s most emotional and distinctive chapters.
