Vintage: Fiat Dino Spider

March 12, 2014

It's a Fiat with the heart of a Ferrari - the Fiat Dino Spider. Many think it's the most beautiful car Fiat ever built. In the mid-1960's, Enzo Ferrari built a new Formula 2 car - with an engine to match. But the rules at the time required that each Formula 2 engine come from series production of at least 500 units.

Thus the idea was born to put the new Ferrari engine in a Fiat to meet this requirement. Only 525 units of the Fiat Dino Spider were built - making it a sought-after collector's item today.
