I used to be scared of bring a car to a show because there would be so many better cars at the show. Until, I went to a show in a 85 Yugo my dad paid $100 back in the 90s. It got overwhelming attention even though it was directly across from the Ferraris 🤣
The thought that the Dino was anything but a Ferrari is crazy. Enzo Ferrari named the car after his son, the son he lost. No father would have named the car to be anything less than his own blood.
Totally agree well said. The first time I saw 308GT4 I thought it looked incredible I was 10. 35 years later my late Father bought one after selling a 250GTE. I didnt get to drive the GTE but drove the 308 a few times and loved every minute of it. If only they were still disliked I might have bought one myself eventually.
Even thought it actually wasn't named Ferrari you mean? I don't agree with what some people try to say with their: "It's not a Ferrari" schtick, because it definitely was made by Ferrari and it was a great car. But then again it's true: it literally wasn't branded as a Ferrari by the company itself, it was deliberately meant to be a sub-brand and NOT a Ferrari. The badges on the car: very deliberately not Ferrari, instead Enzo had new Dino badges made for it. It is also physically not a Ferrari based on their own criteria: they decided that "Ferrari" meant something with more performance and different mechanical and even interior criteria. They wanted more leeway in making great, but slightly lower-level cars so they went with the Dino branding. Just because they discontinued the brand and decided instead that it didn't make financial sense or overall strategic sense, moving on to make Mondials with V8s and under the full Ferrari branding, doesn't mean at that time Dino wasn't a separate sub-brand. It just didn't make sense to make separate V6 engines and other components for a sub-brand (without mass-production volumes), nor did the sub-brand bring any strategic or brand value according to them, as it just downgraded what they were selling so they made very little (if any) profits with the lower-cost car...while creating a competitor to lower-end Ferraris which made more profit. Like you said: Enzo didn't name it a Ferrari. He named it Dino. Hence = not a Ferrari.
I always thought these were so perfectly proportioned and loved the look and so cheap in the 90’s. I dreamed of one someday, but at current valuations, probably not going to happen.
One the biggest complaints is that it came with a slush box. And keep in mind when this came out the competition was stiff. You had the Ford GT, the Carrera GT, the Zonda, the 430, and the Koenigsegg CC8S. Really it's crime is that it was a GT car among and endless sea of bonkers supercars. So it was overlooked. But out of all the cars that came in that era the SLR is the one I would have. Though in reality I would probably get an SLS just so I don't have to deal with the McLaren services as don't leave near one of their service centers. Not as far as Hoovie bit it would still be a pain.
It's such a pleasure to see you actually enjoy cars rather than fretting over their maintenance or how quickly you can flip one (although we know sometimes it's necessary.) Videos like this are a luxury for us as well.
I see Hoovie FINALLY swapped the directional wheels to the appropriate side of the car! I've been commenting about that for a year in his videos now, haha
The first time I saw a Dino in the early 70's I was riding my bike in downtown Seattle and followed the dark blue beauty until I could catch up and ask the driver what it was. "Ferrari" he said. So I looked up the local dealership and found it on a pier in Leschi on Lake Washington, far removed from any other commercial area. I still ride my bike by there (now a restaurant or realty office) and think back to when I started lusting after this little car. It's been 50 years and I still am in love with the Dino. . .
08:47 - 1 of 10, Apollo Intensa Emozine, is said to have an Ferrari N/A F12 (FXX) 6.3L V12 in it with straight cut gears. Good to see you out having some fun Tyler!
Holy fuck. I was absolutely wracking my brain trying to figure out what that car was. One half of my brain was thinking it was some sort of Koenigsegg that maybe I hadnt heard about then the other half of me thought It was the Mazda Furai but that would be impossible as the last known remaining Furai died in a fire in 2008. I mean Mazda could have built another one in that time but concept cars dont usually get re-manufactured.
It's really a beautiful car. In my opinion almost every exotic car has something about it's design that's less than spectacular, but not this car. Love the SLR. Those car prices at the auction.. It's one thing to paste a price on a windshield. It's an entirely different thing to get someone to pay that much. It would be interesting to see a list of what they ended up selling and for how much.
The episode where they raced from London to Oslo. Jeremy in the SLR and Richard and James on a ferry and two different boats, both of which broke and stranded them somewhere south west of Oslo!
The first car I drove on the street alone was a 72 246 GTB Dino and it was amazing even then. Oh and I was 14 so it was even cooler for me. Sure wish my dad would have pulled the trigger an bought it for $23,000 in 1979.
Hey Tyler! I ran into you on the start finish line at Laguna! I remember watching your first cabin Monterey Car Week video and the C36. Keep on making awesome videos!

I never realized that the sports car community looked down their noses at the Dino. As a kid I remember the Dino being a big thing. I never read the articles about the Dino, I just looked at the pictures. That became a trend with me and magazines as I developed interests other than cars.
One of the things I enjoy about your channel Tyler is that always thank the people watching! So many channels do NOT do that...but if not for those people watching...well you know. Cool ride with the Dino! Love me some top down driving in Monterey and Big Sur. Until the next video....
I love Mercedes, but why....oh why did they have to set the trend of only offering horrible trq conv autos??? All those 6.2 NA V8s with an ankle bracelet!!!!
Ferrari 275GTB is just the most amazing thing. The back of them is perfect. Single round taillights and enormous (should be chrome tipped) exhausts. I always loved them. The Colombo V12 sound is incredible. Go listen to one now.
As a swede with smaller moose around, but still moose, the Cayenne would put the bulk of the moose through the windshield! Oh and our moose still have the long legs, but more like 700 pounds instead of up to 1300 pounds! Good luck with the moose, Ed! =D
I always liked the Dino I can remember back in the late 80's early 90's before I was even old enough to drive looking at cars an the Dino was actually very cheap so much so I thought I might even be able to save up for one , it definitely was not considered a Ferrari then , of course I failed at saving enough for one an settled on a regular ol 67 mustang for $2000 ..., Of course cars just weren't valuable like now but I'd pay probably _$50k for that now ... I'm gonna go cry now .
Back in the late 90s my dad and I took our Austin Healey Bugeye to a car show in Carson Valley, Nevada and we were parked next to a Dino. I was in love with it back then but most people at the show were ignoring the Dino and looking at our Bugeye. Our Bugeye has a rotary in it but it's amazing what Dinos have done and they definitely deserve their values that they are nowadays!

That Apollo IE is owned by a guy who lives near me. He also owns a manual Koenigsegg, the CCGT that sold at goodwood, an LFA, and some other crazy stuff
A other great episode Tyler. I have to say ive always loved the Dino's ever since i was a kid and cant believe what they are asking for them... actually i should say getting for them now. I know that red headed stepchild feeling as ive had a porsche 914s that was always considered a Volkswagen as much if not more than a porsche. It was the second car i got and luckily enough still have it. It is an orange and black 1976. I got it in 1988 for $3500 and proceeded to get anything that needed doing done. I love it and would never sell it but recently found out that the have appreciated quite abit too. Last summer i was offered $45k for it!! I was blown away.
It wasn't that long ago I was trying to get my Dad to invest in a red Dino 246 GTS in lovely condition for £50k. It was at the time when it had just been voted 'sexiest Ferrari' by a well known car magazine. He couldn't imagine it going up in price, so he dabbled in the stock market instead...hmm
Nice scenery. Nice whips. One of the coolest cars ever made. Owned by celebrities. Including Hoov. Definitely the most disrespected Ferrari. Fiat engine? But beautiful styling. Cool. Have fun Hoov. ❤❤
Love your channel Tyler! Best of luck with the farm project. If time permits, check out the aquarium while in Monterrey. That could be some interesting content 🏎️🐠🦦
My mate had a Fiat Dino 206 back in the day,,, made the most glorious sound,,, I think he said it was basically an F2 engine. Unfortunately,,, the rear subframe collapsed due to salt and rust and it ended up in a dry-stone wall somewhere in Yorkshire.
Peter Egan drove a Dino halfway across the country in the 80's. He liked it a lot. His story is currently up on the Road & Track website under the title, "Dino: Car of the North."
I have always liked the slr when I finally saw one in real life tearing out of a local exotic car dealer absolutely thundering down the road it will go down as one of my favorite cars I’ll never afford 😂
You nailed it with this car, I suggest holding on to it as long as you can. Drive it occasionally but keep the miles low. This car will appreciate significantly over time, it’s a future true classic that does not receive the appreciation it does today. I’d take this car any day over a McLaren or Ferrari.
I can't get past the fact that you could get Dinos for $32-40,000 in the late 90's. It will always be a cheap Italian sports car in my mind. It does have one of the best sounding V6s though.
I’ve had the pleasure of driving an SLR and the SLS AMG and I like the SLS a lot better. It felt much more nimble and the engine obviously sounded better. lol
I remember when a Alfa customer brought his Dino to the shop. Told me to take it out and don’t baby it. I didn’t and when I got back I told him what I thought and then he told me what it was worth which was in the mid 70’s about 25 years ago. I was glad he told me after I got back! Back then if you said you owned a Dino it didn’t carry the clout it does today.
Always loved the Dino! The design is incredible and different than any other Ferrari of the time. All the classics could be considered underpowered by today's standards, but looks like the experience is just as fun.
The Dino and many of the other classics are proof that a good chassis is better than massive power. I say it's better because you can use all of the power on public roads and not have to worry about tickets or sliding into something that shouldn't be hit. Like an old Rolls-Royce, power is sufficient for anything you'd reasonably want to do. It's fun to just cruise in an analogue car.
I used to be scared of bring a car to a show because there would be so many better cars at the show. Until, I went to a show in a 85 Yugo my dad paid $100 back in the 90s. It got overwhelming attention even though it was directly across from the Ferraris 🤣

I remember when a Alfa customer brought his Dino to the shop. Told me to take it out and don’t baby it. I didn’t and when I got back I told him what I thought and then he told me what it was worth which was in the mid 70’s about 25 years ago. I was glad he told me after I got back! Back then if you said you owned a Dino it didn’t carry the clout it does today.
So great to see the spectacle of Monterrey Car Week and see you enjoying your life! Bravo!
The Z8 would fit in well there
Always loved the Dino! The design is incredible and different than any other Ferrari of the time. All the classics could be considered underpowered by today's standards, but looks like the experience is just as fun.
The Dino and many of the other classics are proof that a good chassis is better than massive power. I say it's better because you can use all of the power on public roads and not have to worry about tickets or sliding into something that shouldn't be hit. Like an old Rolls-Royce, power is sufficient for anything you'd reasonably want to do. It's fun to just cruise in an analogue car.
