The Ferrari 246 F1 was a Ferrari racing car built for the Formula One World Championship of 1958. The regulations for 1954-1960 limited naturally aspirated engines to 2500 cc and for the 1958 season there was a change from alcohol fuels to AvGas.

The 246 used a 2417 cc Dino V6 engine with a 65° angle between the cylinder banks. This was the first use of a V6 engine in a Formula One car, but otherwise the 246 was a conventional front engine design. The Ferrari 246 was good enough to win a World Championship for Mike Hawthorn and a second place in the Constructors Championship for Ferrari.

The Ferrari 246 was not only the first V6 engined car to win a Formula One Grand Prix, the French Grand Prix at Reims in 1958, it was also the last front engined car to win a Formula One Grand Prix. This occurred at the 1960 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where the major British teams boycotted the race.

In 1960, the Ferrari 246 designation was also used for the first mid-engined Ferrari, the 246P Formula One car, again using a Dino V6 engine of 2417 cc. and again in 1966 for Ferrari's first three litre era Formula One car.

I once again made a small compilation with pure engine sounds! The Testarossa has a Fuchs exhaust system and several other Ferrari's featured in this video have Tubi's. I advice you to turn up your speakers! I hope you like the video! Subscribe for more! Thanks for watching!

1.68 min. | 0 user rating		 2008 Ferarri F430 F1 Coupe This F430 comes with a 4.3L V8 making 490HP while paired to a 6 Speed Auto (Automated Manual)... I had time with this Ferrari as I filmed it before the Lamborghini. If you ask me, I would much rather have the Audi R8 or the Aston Martin. Both are fast & sexy cars that are more practical.... And if one doesn't care much about driving something Exotic, A GTR would be a sweet option too.
