Where is the 120 degree v6 Dino used in the formula racing? it is not mentioned.
It is a legend.
The optimal balance for the v6, and it isn't even mentioned on the page with
the nickname of the infamous racing design. Can someone edit?

There must be a way to quicly pull information over from other articles on here about 120 degree V6 Ferrari's such as the 156 Sharknose for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdukeminloodwig3 ( talk • contribs) 23:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm wondering what references were used to write the current version of this article, as according to my information, the 65 degree V6 engine was the first one produced. I'm using the following as a reference:
In Chapter 8 (p129), The Dino V-6 and the Rear-Engined Sports Cars, it states... it should be pointed out that there have been three distinct series of V-6 designs and one V-8 also called a Dino. The first of these, which started out life as a Formula 2 engine, was a 65° V-6 with double overhead camshafts.... It goes on to say, a 120° V-6 based on the same engine and also refered to as a Dino, was developed purely for Grand Prix use....
It then states, The second series V-6, initiated a year after the first, featured a single overhead camshaft design... and was a 60° Vee.
The book goes on to explain that the 65° V6 (with DOHC and dual ignition) was used by the factory race cars and only the 60° SOHC engine was sold in customer sports cars (like the Dino 196 S).
Then it describes The third and most recent series is the 65° V-6 designed by Ing. Rocchi of Ferrari for constuction by Fiat in series..... In this case, they are talking about engine in the Fiat Dino and the (Ferrari) Dino 206 GT, 246 GT and GTS.
The Fitzgerald, Merritt and Thompson book (Fourth Edition), was published in 1979, so naturally it has nothing to say about the 328, 348, 355, 360 or the 65° V12 engines that were built later.
But the current Ferrari Dino engine page, gives the impression that the 60° engines were built first and only after experience with that series of engines, did Ferrari build the 65° engine... when in fact, according to Fitzgerald, Merritt and Thompson, the 60° series of engines came later as an affordable customer sports car engine, and the Dino road cars, used a third series of V6 engine.
Unless someone has reliable references that state the 60° V6 engine came first, we should rewrite this page to reflect the information presented in the Fitzgerald, Merritt and Thompson book. -- Xagent86 ( Talk | contribs) 08:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
This article notes that the V12 for the Enzo is of the Dino series and claims that the Dino architecture will be replaced by a new series of engines derived from the modern Ferrari/Maserati V8 in the F430. The article for the Enzo not only notes that the V12 engine is all new and not derived from the Dino series, but that it's already derived from the Ferrari/Maserati V8 architecture (which is spoken of in the future tense in this article). I'd like the attention of an expert on Ferrari engines to clarify this. Thanks. Chaparral2J ( talk) 00:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Don't merge. Those engines are only derived from Dino V8 family of engines and used by Lancia only. YBSOne ( talk) 19:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
