Fiat's Ferrari-engined pairing — the Pininfarina Spider and Bertone Coupé built to homologate the Dino 65° V6 for Formula 2.
The Fiat Dino Spider is a Pininfarina-bodied spider built so Fiat could produce the Ferrari Dino 65° V6 in numbers sufficient for Formula 2 homologation.
This guide covers both bodies: the Pininfarina-built Spider and the longer-wheelbase Bertone Coupé, which accounted for the majority of production.
The road-going Fiats that made Ferrari's Dino V6 possible in Formula 2 — with the 2400 cars assembled at Maranello alongside the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, and the 420-car 2400 Spider the rarest of the family.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dino 2000 Spider | 1966–1968 | 1,163 | From 1966 to December 1968. 1,986cc V6, 160 bhp. 1,163 built, all LHD. |
| Dino 2400 Spider | 1969–1973 | 420 | From late 1969. 2,418cc V6, 180 bhp. Independent rear suspension, ZF 5-speed. Assembled at Maranello alongside the Ferrari Dino 246 GT. 420 built — the rarest Fiat Dino. |
| Dino 2000 Coupé | 1967–1969 | approx. 3,670 | Bertone-built 2+2 on a 270 mm longer wheelbase; 1,986cc V6, 160 bhp. The volume Fiat Dino. |
| Dino 2400 Coupé | 1969–1972 | approx. 2,398 | 2,418cc V6, 180 bhp; independent rear suspension and ZF 5-speed; bodies mounted at Maranello. |
Confirm the exact variant — 2000 Spider (1966–December 1968, 1,986cc V6, 160 bhp, 1,163 built, all LHD) or 2400 Spider (from late 1969, 2,418cc, 180 bhp, IRS, ZF 5-speed, 420 built) — against build records and period documentation. Spiders carry a substantial premium over Coupés; within each body, the 2400 leads.
The Dino 65° V6 was engineered by Ferrari; service and rebuild competence in this engine family is essential. Confirm engine identity, service record and any rebuild history against an appropriate specialist.
Inspect the Pininfarina body, chassis and driveline carefully. Confirm the extent of any body restoration, correct variant-specific detailing and originality of panels and trim against marque-specialist sources.
Restoration standard and documented ownership record are material. Confirm the shop, extent and date of any restoration, and — for the 2400 in particular — Maranello assembly context and rarity against a marque specialist.

Pininfarina-bodied Fiat spider built to homologate the Ferrari Dino 65° V6 for Formula 2. Variant identification (2000 vs 2400), documented specialist service on the Ferrari-derived V6 and — for the 2400 — Maranello-assembly context define the strongest cars.
