 | Dino was the nickname of Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo, born in 1932. He adored engines and proposed a V-6, then something of a rebellious gesture. When Dino died in 1956, his father was so grief-stricken that he mandated all Ferrari V-6 engines thereafter be called Dinos. The Spider was rear-drive, and its aluminum DOHC V-6 drew from a trio of two- barrel Webers. Sixty mph came in 7.5 seconds. The engine's short stroke gave an 8000-rpm redline. The car's original price was $5,860. |
