The 286 SP was the second model to debut at the 1962 press conference and closely resembled the 196 SP. Like the latter, it featured revised bodywork with a new windshield and tail to comply with updated regulations. Its 60° Dino V6, with a 90 by 75 mm bore and stroke, delivered 260 PS at 6800 rpm. Only one example was built and never contested a race: revealed to the press in February, it had already been converted into a 268 SP by May. There was no successor, as Ferrari abandoned the large V6 in favor of Chiti's V8 engines.
