In the mid-1960s, Ferrari, then still a relatively small manufacturer, sought to homologate its 2.0-liter V-6 engine for Formula 2 competition. Lacking the capacity to meet the required 500 unit annual production requirement, Ferrari found an unlikely partner in Fiat, who committed to building the engines as well as developing a suitable grand touring car to house them.

Unveiled at the 1966 Turin Motor Show in Pininfarina-bodied Spider form, the resulting Fiat Dino featured Ferrari’s four-cam V-6 mounted in the front, delivering 160 factory-rated horsepower and graced by one of Pininfarina’s most timeless designs with fluid lines, balanced proportions, and a purposeful Italian stance. A longer-wheelbase Bertone Coupe followed in 1967, but it was the launch of the 2400 series in 1969 that brought substantial mechanical advancements. Engine displacement increased to 2.4 liters, which brought horsepower to 180, while a new engine block design improved reliability. The 2400 also received a ZF five-speed gearbox, enlarged disc brakes, and independent rear suspension, vastly enhancing road manners.

One of approximately 425 examples equipped with the uprated 2.4-liter Ferrari V-6, this striking Fiat Dino 2400 Spider, chassis 1396, was delivered new to Italy, where it reportedly remained through at least the mid-1980s. Imported to the United States by the consignor in 2014, the car subsequently underwent a thorough multi-year restoration which included rebuilds of the engine, transmission, differential, suspension, and braking systems. Finished in its elegant factory-correct shade of Amaranto (162) over beige vinyl trim and fitted with Campagnolo alloy wheels, 1396 is further enhanced via a rare factory hardtop. The car is now accompanied by its Italian registration booklet, factory hardtop with stand, spare set of wheels with tires, and a file of restoration invoices.

Combining Ferrari engineering with Turin craftsmanship, all cloaked in a timeless Pininfarina design, the Fiat Dino 2400 Spider remains a compelling and collectable Italian grand tourer, as exhilarating to drive as it is to behold.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo25/.
