Barr-Tech was established in 1993 and are Ferrari specialists in Cambridge.
By the late 1960s, Fiat had taken a 50% ownership position in Ferrari; the infusion of capital from this new relationship enabled Enzo Ferrari to not only maintain his cherished racing program, but also to create and market a more affordable sports car to challenge the growing popularity of the Porsche 911. This new challenger to the 911 was a mid engine sports car that carried a smaller V-6 engine that could be shared with other models in the Fiat family. While this V-6 engine was adapted by Lampredi—from an earlier racing engine championed by Ferrari’s deceased son Alfredo “Dino”—this new model of car would also bear the Dino name. First debuted as a Pininfarina concept at the 1965 Paris Motor Show, the first production Dinos released in 1968 were penned by famed Pininfarina designer Leonardo Fioravanti and featured 2.0L DOHC V-6 engines; but, they were replaced in 1969 with 2.4L engines breathing through three Weber downdraft carburetors and mated to a 5-speed transaxle integrated into the transversely mounted engine. In this later 246 form, the curvaceous Dino featured an all-steel body constructed by Scaglietti in either a GT (coupe) or targa-top GTS configuration. The Dino broke new ground in that it was an unusual layout for Ferrari, a mid engine production car with a V-6 engine and electronic ignition—the Dinoplex capacitive discharge system developed by Magnetti Marelli—and the first production Ferrari to feature direct rack-and-pinion steering, similar to that used on the company’s racing cars
