Table / Engine – Dino V6

Original Dino engine block, empty, fitted with its peripheral components, some finished in a red wrinkle coating. The engine is displayed at the centre of a custom-cut 15 mm extra-clear glass top, mounted on four castors. The glass is signed Gervadino Design, as is the Dino engine no. 206246-150. Glass top dimensions: 100 x 80 cm.

These Dino engines were used within the Competizione Corsa department in 1968. This example bears the special number G4TO, developed to increase power output for racing purposes at the time.

In 2-litre specification, these V6 engines produced 230 bhp on the test bench and were fitted to a limited number of racing prototypes. However, due to reliability issues, this version was not retained for series production. Engineers subsequently moved to a 2.4-litre cast-iron block version, delivering 260 bhp.

These engines later achieved notable success in competition, most famously powering the Lancia Stratos Group 4, with an impressive racing record.

In road-going form, Dino V6 engines were fitted to the Ferrari Dino 206 and 246, the Fiat Dino 2.0 and 2.4, as well as the Lancia Stratos Stradale.
