Rare 1973 Dino 246 GTS up for Auction

Exceptionally desirable "chairs and flares" Dino part of RM Auctions consigment for Arizona next month.These days every Ferrari features either a V8 or a V12, but that wasn't always the case. When racing homologation mandated Ferrari produce a V6, that's just what it did, and in addition to its Formula II racers, it was placed inside the Dino. Technically not a Ferrari, the Dino represented an additional model line separate from Maranello's principal range of eight- and twelve-cylinder sportscars, bearing the name of Enzo Ferrari's late son. What we have here is one of the most desirable examples. Following the initial run of just 100 Dino 206 GTs, Ferrari upped the engine capacity and lengthened the wheelbase to create the...

5 Top Tuned 458 Italias

One of the world's best mid-engined supercars has repeatedly been the focus of aftermarket tuners located around the world.The Ferrari 458 Italia is perhaps the ideal mid-engined supercar currently on the market.
