Fiat Dino

The Fiat Dino is a front-engined, rear-drive sports car first manufactured in 1967. It was an intermediate step towards creating the "true" Dino by Ferrari, and the two are often confused. The Fiat Dino allowed Ferrari to achieve the necessary production numbers to homologate Alfredino Ferrari's V6 engine for Formula 2 racing. Ferrari went on to produce a mid-engined Dino of its own, the 206 and 246.

Two body designs were made for Fiat – a Pininfarina spider and a Bertone coupe.
