About the Ferrari Dino 246 GT Red Anson 1:18
TL;DR: Anson's 1:18 diecast reproduces the Ferrari Dino 246 GT in red, the mid-engine Pininfarina design that carried the Dino name rather than the Ferrari badge in period, and predated Ferrari's own mid-engine road cars. Mass-market diecast pricing makes this admired shape genuinely accessible.
Ferrari never actually badged the Dino as a Ferrari when new, a detail that surprises collectors who assume the shape carried the Prancing Horse from the start.
An Accessible Diecast of a Design Milestone
The 246 GT's smooth, curved bodywork and low-slung mid-engine stance were genuinely radical for a road car in the late 1960s, and Anson's diecast tooling handles those flowing surfaces at 1:18 without needing intricate mechanical detail to make the design's impact land. Red is the color most associated with the model today, even if the Dino badge rather than a Ferrari shield originally distinguished it, and mass-market diecast pricing keeps this genuinely influential shape well within reach of most collectors. The car's compact proportions also mean it sits comfortably on a shelf without the length demands of larger period Ferrari GTs.
Why the Dino Matters to Ferrari's Road Car Story
Named for Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredino, the Dino line was Ferrari's way of testing mid-engine layouts and smaller V6 power without risking the Ferrari name on an unproven configuration, a caution that proved unnecessary once the design's balance and handling won over critics and buyers alike. That success paved the way for Ferrari's mid-engine road cars in the following decades, making the 246 GT a genuine turning point rather than a footnote. For a Ferrari lineage display tracing the marque's shift toward mid-engine architecture, the Dino belongs near the very start of that story.
