Just a small point of order. Jano's "Dino" V-6 first appeared in F2 form in April 1957. It was enlarged in stages throughout the year, finally appearing in its F1 form at 2417cc in Collins' car in the 1957 Grand Prix du Maroc on October 1957.WhiteBlue wrote:Name one of Ferrari's most famous engines and it's designer.

65° DOHC V6 is correct. The name is still wrong.Giblet wrote:Is it the 2418 cc 65° DOHC V6 that was also in the Lancia Stratos?
Ferrari Tipo 236 E.
Displacement was 2417 cc as Gary already said. The engine won the 1958 F1 WDC. Strange enough the engine got first homologated in a Ferrari road car for F2. Then it got homologated a second time in the Bertone Stratos for rallying. It really was one of the most build Ferrari engines of all time with a unique competition history including a first place in the 1975 real US coast to coast Cannonball Run in the hands of Jack May and Rick Cline (35h:53m).Gary wrote:Just a small point of order.

Indeed the 2417 cc V6 was called the Dino 246. 24 stands for the displacement and 6 for the cylinders. Dino refers to Alfredino Ferrari who cooked up the idea with János Victor (Vittorio Jano).xpensive wrote:The full name of the 2418cc Engine was Dino 246 of course.
