The Ferrari Dino 206 SP, evolved from the 166 P, was a specialized hillclimb and endurance racing car. It featured a new 2.0 L engine and a low-slung barchetta body, resulting in a lighter weight of 532 kg. This model, primarily designed for the 2000 cc class, was engineered by Franco Rocchi and included Lucas fuel injection, significantly boosting its power to 218 PS. Its successful racing debut was marked by multiple hillclimb victories, including the European Hill Climb Championship won by Ludovico Scarfiotti. The 206 SP also performed commendably in endurance races like the Targa Florio, demonstrating Ferrari's adaptability and competitiveness in various racing formats.
