| The
Ferrari Dino 196S
looked very much like a Testarossa. In fact it can be hard to
distinguish the difference unless a close comparison is made.
The main difference in the body is that it had its wheelbase
shortened to 88.6 inches, although it retains the characteristic
body style of the Testarossa. |
|
|
| But
mechanically it was quite different by featuring a two liter
V6 engine, which was really a six cylinder version of the Colombo
designed V12. |
|
|
|
| Ferrari’s
policy at that time was to engage autonomous coach builders
to design and manufacture bodies for their |
|
| chassis.
The 196S bodies were built by Scaglietti and Fantuzzi |
| The
car shown in these photographs was built at the request of the
owner of a Ferrari Dino and styled to resemble a Scaglietti-bodied
196S. |
| This
car was not endorsed by or sponsored by Ferrari S.p.A, an Italian
Corporation. |
