a larger 2.4-liter motor, which was a displacement that remained
unchanged until the Dinos discontinuation in 1974, ending with the
equally spectacular 246 GTS. The Dino demonstrated impressive
balance during tight handling, thanks to its near-even weight
distribution, which was a dividend of the race-proven rear-mid
engine placement. This European specification 246 GT was
