The Ferrari 246 F1, active in Formula One from 1958 to 1960, was notable for being the first F1 car to use a V6 engine, specifically a 2,417.34 cc Dino V6. This change came amid regulations limiting naturally aspirated engines to 2500 cc and the shift to avgas fuels. The 246 F1 was a conventional front-engine design, producing 280 PS at 8500 rpm. It achieved significant milestones, including being the first V6-engined car to win a Grand Prix and the last front-engined car to do so. The 246 F1 helped Mike Hawthorn secure a World Championship and earned Ferrari a second place in the Constructors' Championship. The 246 designation was later used for Ferrari's first mid-/rear-engined F1 car in 1960, and again in 1966 for their first three-litre era F1 car.
