Summary

The Dino 246 GT turns out to be a fascinating car in the 1971 test. It is without doubt a one-piece construction, with many advantages and only a few disadvantages. Its masterful mechanics, the noble engine and the streamlined, yet spacious body are capable of inspiring car enthusiasts. Driving the low, roadworthy car offers maximum driving pleasure and enjoyment. However, due to the price and the limited number of units, the Dino is only available to a small circle of drivers. Once again, the old insight that racing car construction is the cradle of the safe car is confirmed. The test not only provides an insight into the characteristics of the Dino, but also shows the state of the art at the time.

Preview (beginning of the article)

After more than twenty-five years, the star above Emilia's noble car-horse breeding business is still shining brightly. Here and there it has been obscured by passing clouds or even fields of clouds, but it has always shone brightly again. Today, the horse from Maranello, strengthened by Fiat oats, can be found on almost every race track in the world, where it is always a serious contender and often a winner. Today, as at the beginning of its history, a car from the Ferrari stable embodies something of the highest standards in sports car construction and is accordingly respected and revered by enthusiasts. Not many car brands have been able to maintain such a high reputation for so long.
