"Ferrari" Dino 246 GTS
Enduring excellence born from heartbreak.
We can still argue about whether or not a Dino is really a Ferrari, but we can’t deny the sky-high prices they’re commanding nowadays.

No matter which side of the debate you fall all on, we can all agree the Dino is a confluence of engineering prowess and aesthetic refinement.

Being a GTS, it’s open top charm married to a 2.4L mid-mounted V6 that is equal parts heart-pounding, and at recent prices, financial anxiety. Just embrace it with open arms and a fat wallet. The inevitable trips to the mechanic will have his kids at Harvard while yours enjoy community college.
Despite the controversy and the prices, the Dino is the embodiment of Italian passion and engineering – pure joy wrapped like a plate of linguine served by none other than Sophia Loren herself. A reminder the journey is often as significant as the destination.
