FERRARI DINO 246 GTS
The Ultimate Open-Top 1970s Icon
Overview
The Dino 246 GTS represents one of the most beloved chapters in Ferrari’s storied history. Named in honor of Enzo Ferrari’s son, Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, this mid-engined masterpiece broke the mold of the traditional V12 Maranello stable.
With its curvaceous Pininfarina-designed body and a soundtrack provided by a high-revving 2. 4L V6, the GTS (Gran Turismo Spyder) offers an unrivaled open-air driving experience.
Introduced at the 1972 Geneva Motor Show, the GTS variant featured a removable targa roof, allowing drivers to engage fully with the mechanical symphony of the engine positioned just inches behind their head. Today, the 246 GTS is considered one of the most beautiful and collectible classic Ferraris in existence.
