Key Features

• Engine & Performance: Powered by the Ferrari-designed 2.4L DOHC 65° V6, shared with the Dino 246GT and Lancia Stratos, and paired to a ZF dogleg 5-speed gearbox. Equipped with triple twin-choke Weber carburetors, the engine delivers thrilling performance and smooth power delivery.

• Interior: Retaining its original upholstery, carpeting, and wood veneer, the interior is remarkably well-preserved. All Veglia instruments and switchgear are functional, and the black soft top remains in excellent condition with no tears or stains.
• Chassis & Suspension: Featuring independent front suspension, ventilated disc brakes, and a robust tubular chassis, the Dino Spider provides a balance of performance and comfort.
