The Ferrari model named after Enzo Ferrari’s son Alfredo was the Dino.
Alfredo Ferrari, Enzo’s first son, was widely known by the nickname Dino, a shortened form of Alfredino. He was an engineer who worked on Ferrari projects and advocated developing a compact 1.5-liter V6 engine for racing. Alfredo died in 1956 at age 24 from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, before the engine was completed.
Ferrari later used the name Dino to honor him. The Dino badge first appeared on racing cars in 1957, including Formula Two machinery powered by the new V6. Road-going Dino sports cars followed, beginning with the 206 GT in the late 1960s and later the 246 GT and 246 GTS. These cars used engines with fewer than Ferrari’s traditional twelve cylinders, so the company initially marketed them under the separate Dino marque rather than the Ferrari name.
A common mix-up is Enzo, which was also used for a Ferrari model—but the Ferrari Enzo was named directly for Enzo Ferrari. F40 and LaFerrari likewise refer to different naming stories.
