The Dino 206 GT was designed at Pininfarina by Aldo Brovarone and Leonardo Fioravanti and built at Scaglietti. Its soft, flowing lines distinguish it from its more angular successor, the 308 GT4. The transversely mounted 2.0-liter aluminum V6 with a 65-degree cylinder angle produced 180 PS at 8000 rpm. It was the first Ferrari with electronic ignition and with direct rack-and-pinion steering. From 1967 to 1969, 152 cars were produced, all in left-hand drive. Aurelio Lampredi was commissioned by Fiat to prepare the racing engine for the road.

Engineering
The engine was entirely aluminum, featured dual overhead camshafts, and had a 9:1 compression ratio. The crankshaft ran in four main bearings, and fuel mixture was supplied by three Weber 40 DCN/4 twin carburetors. The lightweight aluminum body sat on a chassis with independent suspension all around and disc brakes on all four wheels. With the Dinoplex C, Ferrari received electronic ignition for the first time, as well as direct rack-and-pinion steering for the first time.
The horsepower question
Fiat had commissioned Ferrari to adapt the racing engine of the Dino 206 SP/S for the road; Aurelio Lampredi, to whom Ferrari owed many great engines, took on this task. He later said that things had not gone quite as Ferrari had imagined. Fiat stated 160 PS DIN, while Ferrari spoke of 180 PS for the prototype in 1967. In fact, all engines were identical, built by Fiat workers in Turin without regard to their ultimate destination.
