Well done video. I had my first Ferrari(Dino) in 1982 and it was wrecked in a crash with a Volvo wagon. Those Volvo's are tanks for sure--. There was something very special about the Dino; fabulous looks and incredible sound from the small 2.4 liter V6. I always felt I was racing, even on a slow trip to the market. It was a far more exciting car than the 348 Spider that I bought years later. I remember the day a group of Hell's Angels bikers surrounded the car on a trip up LA's Mulholland Dr and they all gave me big thumbs up and approving nods. It was a good day to own a Dino----
I love the looks of the dino but I have to say the most beautiful car is a 1962 ferrari 250 gto, only problem is I have 100% better chances of getting a beautiful dino than a gto.
Like a lot of folks, I only knew the Dino as the poor man's Ferrari, the knock off, the fake. After watching this video and seeing the passion of the car's 'custodian' and hearing for the first time the tragic but heartwarming story of the cars creation I have a great, newfound respect for the Dino. Thank you /DRIVE for opening my eyes with such a well produced video.
When i was 11 yrs old in Scotland - 1976 - my father knew a guy with one of these - this chap took me and my brother who was 8 - in his Dino - both of us crammed in the passenger seat - no seat belt and went thru the Scottish countryside at 100-120 MPH ! - I'll never forget that....what a trip !
The John Pogson videos are my favorites, always interesting, love the stories and history and how he delivers it, I'd love an additional channel with just his videos.
For those who haven't but love the 246GT Dino, it is imperative to see one in real life. Two dimensional photography, whether it be stills or motion, has never, and can never capture the beauty that this shape is.
Highly professional video. This film demonstrates the potential of Internet video sharing- expertly produced media available to a large audience. Exemplary work.
Remember one always parked local to my house when I was a kid. I knew it was a thing of great beauty even then some 40 yrs ago. Actually still have the photo I took of it. Really great video BTW
The first ever school project I remember doing was on Dino's. That must have only been grade 6 or 7 but I remember it like yesterday. Always loved those things.
This model was the first Ferrari I had ever seen. The owner parked it next to his ancient Rolls Phantom, 944 turbo and his every day car, a 500SEL below my highschool best friend's appartment building. It looks so gorgeous.
You are so right it is amazing i had a 1970 246 GT I paid 4000 pounds for it back in 1980 it was a LHD needed some work but i loved it drove it as a daily driver to work never had any problems with it, in the end i moved to Canada and shipped the car there when it was 15 yrs old drove for another year then sold it to pay for my house at the time i got about 25,000 pounds for it , but I wished I had of kept it look at the price now !
Fortunate to have seen many in the 70's. People were real haters on this car. Now the collectors realize , a car with such a heart felt story is worth more than they can imagine. This will be a very expensive Dino future.
I agree.....but where do I find Dino hides for the interior ? ...and I wonder how many Horsepowers it would take for 1 T-Rex ? " heyyyy!!.......I got 20 T-Rex and Pterodactyl Torque under the hood ! " ...I love razzing these pretentious fuck-ups.......we have the only Duesenburg Phaeton Royale ever made ....-and Aristotle Onassis' Ferrari '66 330 GTC..... But I'm 500" Cadillac Torque specialist.....AND THE ONLY CAR THAT IMPRESSES ME IS THE ONE YOU BUILD YOURSELF !!!!
I remember being inspired to draw one at a early age . I am divorced and lost a lot of money and the one thing that I regret is ,as a result of that divorce I'll never afford one . Could have brought one for 15 grand around 1972 (coulda, woulda shoulda !! ) .I have a mate with a 328 ( I think) but his brother has a yellow restored Dino, I told him "You own a beautiful piece of art not a car !" Guy has knocked back a millon !!
When I was in my 20’s my boss had a Dino and the dealer was in Reno. He kept having problems with the car. It was at the dealer in Reno and he wanted to me to drive him up to Reno from Sacramento. On our way, he asked if I didn’t mine flying up and letting me drive back alone. We stopped in Auburn and flew up in his plane. Picked up the car and drove him back to the Reno. I was starving and stopped at McDonalds and people were staring at me when I got. Here I was in this expense car and wearing jeans a t-shirt and work boots and stopping at Mickey D’s. I got half way back and could not figure out how to turn on the lights. Every car I had driven had a light switch on the dash and this was before cell phones. So I stopped at a rest area and used the pay phone to call Jack at his house. I was embarrassed not to know that there was a switch on the turn signal that turned on the lights. It was a blast driving such a cool car from Reno to Auburn by myself and I had plenty of cars pull up next to me, eyeing it over. You sat so low to the ground and looking out the windshield all you could see was the road. It was like driving a go cart with a windshield. Loads of fun.
Always my favourite Ferrari, even if it wasn’t officially Ferrari. So beautiful and nimble. Even if it might be sacrilege to some, I think it is very comparable to an early Porsche 911, except that 911s were much more reliable.
While the Ferrari family story about Dino is quite tragic and even though the car is so pretty, it was never all that good as a sports car. Sorry internet fans and dreamers, but compared to a Porsche 914/6 the Dino handles as if its perched on a off road lift kit, the steering has that weird Fiat 124 coupe tractor like feel to it and for its day it was slower than your neighbors Porsche 911S. The Dino is really more art than performance. I have driven them and every time it was a disappointment, but get out and look at it and it is so stunningly gorgeous that it just melts your heart. Salute Dino!
No John. You got it all wrong. Dino will last forever as the young people's car. You'll never feel you're getting older than the car. Dino Ferrari had simply gave his own youth to this car. It's his soul and heart.
For those who own or have driven a US version, you don't know what you're missing. I have a 1971 European version. It has more horse power, more torque, and is 100 kg lighter. Plus it is geared differently. It drives completely different than the US version. I let someone with a US version drive my car. His reaction, "Wow. What did you do to it?" Nothing. That is the way that Enzo Ferrari wanted it.
In front of its time in 1968? Go look at the Porsche 904 from 1964. Similar shape (maybe even more beautiful,) and a similar idea. Small, light, mid-engined 2-seater with a small, powerful engine.
Can someone explain to me his upshifting technique at 1:00-1:25? Almost sounds like there is a blip for double clutch upshifting, but in the video he's not double clutching.
supremewhip well , when I ride a bike sometimes i do that , between upshifts .. mostly just because of the sounds :)) but in this case im not sure if its the same , altho he does talk about the sound , so maybe its the same reason :)
well..i used to do that on old carburator motorcycles to prevent the engine from boging down when i up-shift...sometimes old carburators get some air flowing back from the intake (blow-back), because of the "negative" air flow due to back-pressures from other cylinders, and the engine "coughs", because its not getting enough air and/or fuel from the carburator...to prevent that from throwing the engine too low down on the RPMs you just keep it breathing with a momentary gas while shiffting...i dont know if that was HIS reason, but at least thats what i used to do..
Now that Ferrari has been cut from Fiat they need to bring back the Dino name in order to survive selling cars. And just as before they can make Dinos be Ferrari sub-branded cars that are less than 8 cylinders.
I understand that they only get a small amount through UA-cam... but they could have plugged products and had ads play within their own video as well as the ads that UA-cam plays, could they not?
Matthew Miller AdBlock extensions get rid of banner, video, and all sorts of other type of ads. It has been devastating to UA-camrs... especially the ones who don't have a wealthy investor. I wish UA-cam would make its ads 15 seconds or less. A 15 second ad doesn't really seem to take all that long, but when it is a 30 second ad it feels like an eternity. Maybe less people would install adblocking software that way..
15 seconds is a good compromise... if they were only allowed 5 seconds for a commercial, I can almost guarantee that they would just pepper ads in the middle of our movies. Can't really blame them for trying to make more money... the quality of car shows (Motor Trend, /DRIVE, Smoking Tire etc) on youtube is amazing... but they are also extremely expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if they use an outside source for funding... this channel just doesn't get enough views to cover the freakish costs. I think 15 seconds would satisfy most advertisers while also preventing any more channels from inserting ads in the middle of the clip (which is becoming common argh)
Sadly from 2030 on all the combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one single state operated station per city. :-(
I’ve always found it difficult not to say “Ferrari Dino 246” I mean, it was built at the Ferrari Factory right?It’s got the pedigree right? It obviously looks like a 308. But I bet if you threw a prancing horse on it you would get the looks of scorn at the meets.
MrStoneycool69 Well no fucking shit Sherlock! The Dino is a 190 hp car made up until the mid-70's, whereas the NSX is a 270 hp car made circa 20 years later! Go figure which one performs better, smartass!
It is a nice car, but overrated. I remember in the 90's when almost no one knew it was a Ferrari and it was possible to buy one for $30,000. The second everyone knew it was a Ferrari and not a failed Italian brand... BOOM! The the value went through the roof.
I get what you mean, but I think it's just past-Enzo cars, I mean untill he was the head of the company, the cars were magnificent excluding only few ones.
***** the thing is, the cars were always "magnificent" in a totaly subjective way...all ferraris, absolutely all of them are famous for going wrong all the time..they just never ever work properly...i drove the 430S and the Italia hoping it would be any better, and it wasnt...it is really still up to date a brand made for status and "feelings"...there is a ferrari dealer right across the street to where i used to work a couple of years ago...and i will tell you: i have NEVER EVER seen so many broken cars to be repaired in a huge parking lot like this ferraris dealer...and add to that in consideration that my brother used to own a repair garage, and that i am myself a testdriver for a brand i am not allowed to say on the web..and even our none finished prototypes dont go as wrong as finished/already-sold ferraris..
Pe Peroni Huh, nice post there. I guess it's all about the imagination and the perception. I've never sat in a Fezza, let alone driven one, but I imagine they are a great experience, expecially the older ones. Kinda like supermodel sex, eh? I really dont like where Fezza is headed as a brand, focused on banker wankers and douchebags rather than making pieces of art for years to come.
***** true..yes the feelings and all these "unexplainable" subjective stuff really come up inside you when you drive one, there is no denying that ferraris are very emotional..but as you said, the direction the brand is taking is hard to understand..specially now that they are selling a big margin of ferraris ownership to private people...now a days anyone who has money can "own" a piece of ferrari...not a car! the BRAND! now a days if you have money you can even own the brand! its ridiculous...
The lines are perfect. The curves.....almost feminine. The proportions are very aesthetic. Enzo must have had woman in mind designing this beauty. He should have retired after reaching perfection in this model.
Well done video. I had my first Ferrari(Dino) in 1982 and it was wrecked in a crash with a Volvo wagon. Those Volvo's are tanks for sure--. There was something very special about the Dino; fabulous looks and incredible sound from the small 2.4 liter V6. I always felt I was racing, even on a slow trip to the market. It was a far more exciting car than the 348 Spider that I bought years later. I remember the day a group of Hell's Angels bikers surrounded the car on a trip up LA's Mulholland Dr and they all gave me big thumbs up and approving nods. It was a good day to own a Dino----
Possibly the most beautiful car of all time.
I'm 100% with you on this. Miura, prettiest car ever, 2nd place, the Dino. Two gorgeous shapes.
@@diamonddog257 You're subbed to rebel media. Your opinion holds no value.
@@diamonddog257 Calling other's Opinions "trash"...whose being the pretentious asswipe now, Jerky Jerk-Face?
Dino 246 is prettier than Miura.
I love the looks of the dino but I have to say the most beautiful car is a 1962 ferrari 250 gto, only problem is I have 100% better chances of getting a beautiful dino than a gto.

The John Pogson videos are my favorites, always interesting, love the stories and history and how he delivers it, I'd love an additional channel with just his videos.
Great car with a great story behind it. A beautiful tragedy.
The Sound of that engine is SOOOO Beautiful !!!! I could listen to it being run around a track for hours !!!!
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Gives even Alfa’a most artistically-designed shapes a run for their money.
In my opinion the most beautiful car ever built. LOVE the Dino. And to me it is 100% a Ferrari.
I see some of this car in the modern Alfa 4C...Ferrari was born as an Alfa racing car after all.
I still think drive is one of the best Channels, just wish they would bring rideapart back.
For those who haven't but love the 246GT Dino, it is imperative to see one in real life. Two dimensional photography, whether it be stills or motion, has never, and can never capture the beauty that this shape is.

Dino is like a mother to all curves of a car design.
I worked as a delivery driver for the north American importer when i was just 22 years old .
Drove many Dinos
Its still my favorite Ferrarri.

Dino powerslide .. rare sight, am sensing a replication of Petrolicious' content in this episode

awsome video and we could see the passion of the owner. love to ear people talk about history with that feeling!! Good story
This was filmed in Saddleworth, I recognise those roads anywhere! My home area! Absolutely phenomenal driving roads and what a car to drive them in
Fortunate to have seen many in the 70's. People were real haters on this car. Now the collectors realize , a car with such a heart felt story is worth more than they can imagine. This will be a very expensive Dino future.
Dino was my favourite dinosaur.
I could see this coming from you hence the name of your channel.
I agree.....but where do I find Dino hides for the interior ?
...and I wonder how many Horsepowers it would take for 1 T-Rex ?
" heyyyy!!.......I got 20 T-Rex and Pterodactyl Torque under the hood ! "
...I love razzing these pretentious fuck-ups.......we have the only
Duesenburg Phaeton Royale ever made ....-and Aristotle Onassis'
Ferrari '66 330 GTC.....
But I'm 500" Cadillac Torque specialist.....AND THE ONLY CAR THAT
IMPRESSES ME IS THE ONE YOU BUILD YOURSELF !!!!
The sound of that car was amazing on my little 1" computer speaker! Imagine hearing it in person or while driving it!
The series one E-type, the Dino, the Miura, the Bizzarini 5300, and the Talbot-Lago T150 are my list of most beautiful of all time
Beautiful!

Dino 246 is my favourite car
John Pogsons' photograph should be in the dictionairy, next to the word 'Passion'
I like his driving style - hacking at the wheel.
The dino is my dreams car
Great video. Beautifully shot.
wow fantastic video beautifull Dino
A dino isn't just a car, its an instrument that is played exquisitely well by John Pogson.
It really does sound fantastic.
Beautiful story on the dino it's so sad, the behind the car
In awe. That guy sounds so interesting!
I've always loved Dinos!!! Flairs and Chairs!!!
My Grampa had one when my dad was a kid, unfortunately he passed away a couple years ago. 😔
Mesmerizing it sounds
One of my favorite cars...
He pretty much summed it up... nothing more to say
Ferrari should re-invent this car.
They’d ruin it with an automatic
I had one in the early 1970's but sold it to finance my aviation career. The things you do......
beauty
Yes it's ART !
3:10 Music name please?! I'm in love with it.
'We are the custodians of thess cars' - takes airbox off and lets unfiltered air in...
this man is great !!
I still love /DRIVE. Producing videos cost a lot of money.
I just want /SHAKEDOWN back...

even me being a mustang guy i think this is beuatiful also we beat ferrarri at lemans in 64 long live the shelby daytona
have you ever crashed into an crowd?
Thank God some things in the World are not perfect. Perfection has no soul.
Where can i find the song list from the /DRIVE channel? The music they use fits so well in the videos
Watching this, I was expecting them to play mad world
Im watching racing videos for my conic when its finished i hope you will see it. But cant wait to get a fast car
No John. You got it all wrong.
Dino will last forever as the young people's car. You'll never feel you're getting older than the car.
Dino Ferrari had simply gave his own youth to this car. It's his soul and heart.
I have the Dino and guess what it’s amazing
For those who own or have driven a US version, you don't know what you're missing. I have a 1971 European version. It has more horse power, more torque, and is 100 kg lighter.

Ferrari Dino is the best car
Wow, that's a pretty cool story. Never heard of this car. Will have to do more research..
E type.. and dino ferrari words escape me!

Well yes, but why...

supremewhip Because it sounds awesome. I do it in my car too, rev it slightly to hear the turbo spool, then engage gear. Love it :)
I WISHD ID HAD FERRARI 288. 365 GTB AND DINO
approved by the other Dino ;)
and the beast is looking through the window... 4:20
206 is the one to own.
The car is in GT6 :)
Not hating at all, but is he double clutching? Surely these things had synchros...
Now that Ferrari has been cut from Fiat they need to bring back the Dino name in order to survive selling cars. And just as before they can make Dinos be Ferrari sub-branded cars that are less than 8 cylinders.
Bella la doppietta
song intro?
Nah xcar did it about the f40
Could DRIVE put some advertising in the videos instead of having their viewers pay for DRIVE+ to see the full length, high quality film?
The channel owner only gets a small percentage of the advertising dollars. It seems that /Drive wouldn't get enough from the ads to cover their costs.
I understand that they only get a small amount through UA-cam... but they could have plugged products and had ads play within their own video as well as the ads that UA-cam plays, could they not?

Can't really blame them for trying to make more money... the quality of car shows (Motor Trend, /DRIVE, Smoking Tire etc) on youtube is amazing... but they are also extremely expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if they use an outside source for funding... this channel just doesn't get enough views to cover the freakish costs.
I think 15 seconds would satisfy most advertisers while also preventing any more channels from inserting ads in the middle of the clip (which is becoming common argh)
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh c'est trop bon
You can drive Alfa Romeo only if your brother is a mechanic.
I love u #DRIVE always the best videos
Sadly from 2030 on all the combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one single state operated station per city. :-(
best looking, coolest name for a Ferrari.... ironically not that fast tho... why didn't Ferreri put a V12 in it?
xcar pretty much made this already and im really disapionted in /Drive for passinf off old videos as new. drive is dead to me
sound volume is bad
Buying lotto tickets now
Je la veux...
At times the front of the Dino looks like a catfish got 2 fish hooks in its mouth.
That's it? D:
I’ve always found it difficult not to say “Ferrari Dino 246” I mean, it was built at the Ferrari Factory right?It’s got the pedigree right? It obviously looks like a 308. But I bet if you threw a prancing horse on it you would get the looks of scorn at the meets.
The Dino never did it for me. Can't explain why....
A man I work for has 3 wasting away in his garages so sad
The Honda NSX blows these cars away.....
MrStoneycool69 Well no fucking shit Sherlock! The Dino is a 190 hp car made up until the mid-70's, whereas the NSX is a 270 hp car made circa 20 years later! Go figure which one performs better, smartass!
Petter Forsberg
Lol, no need to lose your nuts over...
Amazing how ferrari wouldn't let his dying son badge his cars he designed as ferraris.
Romantic worry festival charity diet garage kit.
It is a nice car, but overrated. I remember in the 90's when almost no one knew it was a Ferrari and it was possible to buy one for $30,000. The second everyone knew it was a Ferrari and not a failed Italian brand... BOOM! The the value went through the roof.
nope
to me...
this brand dosn't build cars
only auction investment comodity's for the rich
agree...specially after driving a couple (430S, 458i), i now seriously dislike them..
I get what you mean, but I think it's just past-Enzo cars, I mean untill he was the head of the company, the cars were magnificent excluding only few ones.

the thing is, the cars were always "magnificent" in a totaly subjective way...all ferraris, absolutely all of them are famous for going wrong all the time..they just never ever work properly...i drove the 430S and the Italia hoping it would be any better, and it wasnt...it is really still up to date a brand made for status and "feelings"...there is a ferrari dealer right across the street to where i used to work a couple of years ago...and i will tell you: i have NEVER EVER seen so many broken cars to be repaired in a huge parking lot like this ferraris dealer...and add to that in consideration that my brother used to own a repair garage, and that i am myself a testdriver for a brand i am not allowed to say on the web..and even our none finished prototypes dont go as wrong as finished/already-sold ferraris..

The lines are perfect.
The curves.....almost feminine.
The proportions are very aesthetic.
Enzo must have had woman in mind designing this beauty.
He should have retired after reaching perfection in this model.
Enzo said the lines of a car should look like the figure of a beautiful woman.
F40 is more special :)
